The new SHS has a huge problem on this front. It is well documented in TripAdvisor for some properties (e.g. SHS Flagstaff AZ). You do wonder which idiots designed it.

Oh, it is greedy people, not idiots, who designed it

I think a lot of us who are on the road a lot tend to have one set of tasks during the day and have to come back to the hotel to take care of e-mails and do the rest of the work. Non-ergonomic chairs/desk already drive me crazy at some hotels. It i definitely a deal breaker for me if there is no desk. I luckily have been to new/newly renovated SHS, REN, TPS and have not encountered this.

Sheraton Four Points are not so great but I love the big desks they have! I also hate it when some desks have glasses on top so the mouse does not work. So, a good desk and chair make a huge difference.

Maybe Murphy desks if they want to please everyone?
