Are You Kidding Me?

It happens from time to time when you are in hotels a lot. Even if it happens to be a hotel location you are familiar with...
.
Such as this one in Mauston, WI is.
Are you kidding me? This is my work space? I DO have work to do when I get into my hotel room. Even still. I don't think I have EVER had a room that did not at least have a proper table you could MAKE into a work space.
They removed the desk.
Ugh. I could complain. I could ask for another room. I know the others have a desk.
I will just suffer it out tonight. But this is a strike. I guess I will have to put a note into my "special requests" the next time I book to say, "Prefer a room with a desk."

That does look quite uncomfortable having to work at the makeshift desk. Hope you don't have to sit there too long and work.

Definitely complain! That's not enough room to do anything.

Your having a "savings mentality" bit you in the butt this time 
Did you at least have a nice view of the parking lot

Oh wow, that is crazy! Sorry to hear that. I don't really go to hotels so never paid attention to that

if you're going to be there for a few more days, then it's better to ask for a table

In our hotel bookings abroad, we often get a big room with nice amenities but sometimes what we get is a cramped room. I think it depends on the country.

Usually it is. They have been doing some remodeling the past few months at this location, and so they probably just have not put a desk in yet. Still...a LOT of people travel for work and so a desk is almost a must. Like I said, I could complain. But I just make it work. It's still a strike though, and as a diamond member I can make some valuable reviews. I don't always review my stays, but this time I probably will.

I would have called immediately housekeeping for a change in my room.
