Do hotel rooms have a separate kitchen?

I often stay in hotels that do, so some have it.

 

Not sure if this hotel had kitchen in room, but the photo shows a hotel restaurant kitchen with the menu glued to the wall on the right.

Easy to misread or misinterpret the headline.  A fire in the hotel's kitchen caused an injury to a Russian woman.  I stuck room into my initial reading of the headline and article, too.

Badly written article.  It states fire gutted kitchen but last paragraph claims only minor damage.  A gutted kitchen means major damage. So which is it???

 

And this paragraph makes me laugh, "One injured woman was found who was identified as Mrs. Svetlana Stashko, Russian national. She had sustained injuries from choking on some. She was taken to a nearby hospital".  

"Choking on some"!  Choking on some what?  (Obviously smoke inhalation) Who proofreads these articles?  555.
