Hotel visitors looking to save money on their trips often book a hotel that has an in-room kitchen. Many hotel rooms and suites have full kitchens that include a counter top range and a refrigerator. They feel that preparing their own meals will save them money since they will not need to pay for room service or restaurant food or it makes life for families with small children easier, as they do not need to manage their children in a busy dining room while waiting for food.
This can lead to dishes being washed in a sink that does not lead to a grease trap and possibly lead to fat berg clogs in the external drains, for which the kitchen may be blamed in the wrong.
