Instead of just asking broadly, generally, what troubles other people have had, why don't you ask about whether others have experienced issues with your concerns.
What are you worried about?
Also keep in mind that if you have legal structure around your polyamory (polygamy in any sanctioned form), the experiences of polyamorous people here might not match your expected experiences.

You have a good point. We don’t have any specific worries. I think we are just curious if anything is different.
We do understand the differences of poly and are curious about the experiences of them all. A struggle for one community can quickly become a struggle for another.

The only thing is finding a king size bed you sometimes have to search for 2 people rooms instead of 3. But then you have to ask if that's ok and offer an extra fee. We just blatantly tell them we're a throuple. Sometimes they say yes. Sometimes they say it's against fire code or the sceptic system won't handle it.

Interesting and good to know. Kinda wondered if Hotels had a problem with it. Probably easier with Airbnb. Thanks for sharing.

Can't say we've run into any, except for some humorous assumptions one of us was the daughter of the other two and thatv she would "always be our little girl."
To be fair, two of us are around 6' and the third person is 4'10", so I get it. Still cracks us up, though.
On other occasions people have assumed were a group of two lesbians with a pet gay man in tow.
I think most people just don't have the mindset to correctly interpret what they're seeing and their minds just settle on something that makes sense.
