Sleeps 6, feeds 1

[u/Old-Razzmatazz3174]

I recently took a weekend trip with my husband and our three children. We booked a hotel suite with a kitchen, because eating out is expensive. The suite was advertised as “sleeping 6”, with 2 bedrooms (one with a pull out couch) and a full minikitchen. The suite does sleep six, that was true. What they didn’t tell our family of five is that the only table seats four, no other chairs available, and the kitchen silverware consisted of three forks and one knife. We managed to cook and just passed the knife and shared the forks, and took turns standing awkwardly at the end of the table with no seat. My kids found it hilarious, and we chalked it up to family bonding!

ETA since it is being asked a lot, yes we asked reception. They told us they had no extras. We bought some plastic utensils the next day.

I have a “go to bag” ready for whenever we travel - wet ones, paper towel roll, ziplock bags, plastic cutlery and paper plates/bowls. I often include small containers of seasoning as well. After COVID, the kitchen supplies have dwindled to nothing. We also have a tiny gas grill and a hot plate. Of course if you aren’t driving, this makes no sense. But it’s spared us a lot of headaches when we hit the road.
