For places which do not offer such a facility, we will try and find a quiet corner, and feed there with a privacy blanket.
I'm conscious of side tracking from the original topic, and fear we're heading a bit OMNI but I'd like to add a thought on this point.
If your wife and baby are most comfortable feeding in peace then these rooms are great and I know they can be very helpful with a curious/distracted feeder.
However, i fear there is a danger that women are societally coerced into hiding away in them from fear that a nipple may be glimpsed by a stranger.
I support my wife publicly breastfeeding and see no reason she should have to hide away in a room and isolate herself from normal society just because she is taking care of my son.
Sometimes the presence of these rooms means people feel it is acceptable to ask her to move there. I don't feel this is the case.

Absolutely agree with you here.
