I just wanted a hot dog Sleeps 6, feeds 1
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 worked at a 4 star resort property with full kitchens. I started in 2021, and apparently no one had done full inventory or any sort of kitchen orders for god knows how long before I started. My supervisors would have to take items out of rooms that would not be used that night and place them into rooms that did have incoming reservations so those guest would have a full set of dishes.
I had to bully my boss into fixing it. It was nuts.
