Awesome lap desk deal at Hampton Inn
I’m in the middle of a road trip vacation, and while driving from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Mackinaw City we stayed at a Hampton Inn in Wausau, Wisconsin.
Now, the hotel itself was fine. It was actually better than fine - the folks at the front desk were very helpful when we checked in, and even put us in the perfect room - and we had a great night.
The awesome part is the deal I got on one of their lap desks. If you’ve stayed at a Hampton Inn, you know that they have these nifty lap desks in their rooms. They’re pretty nice, with elastic bands to keep papers in place and a nice faux leather cusion on the back. As lap desks go, they’re pretty nice - nicer than I’ve found just about anywhere. So I decided to get one - or at least ask what they cost.
Take a guess…
Sixteen dollars.
Can you believe it? There isn’t even a Hampton Inn logo on it anywhere. I’m guessing that price requires a paid stay, but if you’re staying anyway it’s a real bargain.

I have seen the awesome lap desk too. But my experience is that they won’t sell it to you but direct you to the Hampton web site, where it is $55.

I am a manager at a Hampton Inn and they sold the lap desk to you for the price that we are given as a hotel. The items ARE available at http://www.hamptonhomecollection.com where you can purchase anything standard in the Hampton hotel rooms including the beds. Check it out!!!

It is $55 at the http://www.hamptonhomecollection.com website. I would buy one for $17, but $55 is way too steep!
