I think the only thing keeping me to Air BnBs is the kitchen honestly

We always look for extended stay hotels for this reason, especially when traveling with my parents who would much rather heat up a home cooked meal vs fast food when traveling. Usually we can get 1 room instead of 2 since a lot of time the rooms are suites so my wife and I can take the sofa bed.

That's why I love the hotel suites with kitchenettes. With the help of an electric roaster we were able to bring Thanksgiving to my step-son, who was away at school.

Aw that's awesome! Yeah I should look for kitchenettes next time I travel!

Yeah, that's no small thing for me.

If I'm away for a week working or on holiday I so much prefer being able to make my own meals. I have unusual dietary preferences, so restaurants just aren't appealing for days at a time.

I can't say it's always available, but you might want to look for suites? I stayed in a hotel in Ocean City that had a full kitchen, and most timeshare resorts (that you can also rent) tend to have that too.

Oh that's a good idea. I'll def look for one of those next time. All I really would need is a small stove!
