A place to work in my room is just as important as a place to sleep. So, what's next Marriott? Remove all chairs so we have to sit cross-legged on the floor? Remove the TV and suggest we fight over the remote control in the lobby? Why don't you just remove the bed and put in military-style bunkbeds and we'll have to share our room (and a common bathroom with glass doors) with strangers? We can draw straws to see who gets the upper bunk. Then you can double the rate and call it a "cave man experience".
