Hampton Inns have always been good about moving a small table in - and one time didn't have anyone in the conference room I could use it. I used to travel weekly and always took my little sewing machine.

Absolutely you can ask for most anything and they will try to help you. Tell them what you told us and it will be so. They will help you, I promise. most places have irons and etc. I'm in a domino group and we have played in kitchens, dining rooms hallways, Mc donalds in airports. You name it. Have a good time and I hope your daughter does tool Barny

My quilting friend and I go on quilt get a aways all the time. We have a table from Sams Club that's 2'x4' but folds in half for easy traveling. Lighting can be an issue, but we have always made it work. I do suggest a surge protector/extension cord. If you go with a suite type of room they ususally have ironing boards and irons. Country Inns and Suites are great, LaQuinta is a good choice also. Call the property directly and ask what they can provide you. Most are very accomodating! Have fun!

This is a great opportunity for all of you - I would do an online search for "suite style hotels" and find one that is in the area where you will be. Comfort Suites in one such hotel. Good Luck - and have a great time.

I am so excited for you both! Again, as other have already said, calling ahead and explaining "why" you are staying and what you want to do just may ensure that you get an even better and more spacious room.

Do please let us know how things go and also the name of the hotel you choose. Looking forward to hearing about your weekend. Sending lots of love

Many hotels have a breakfast area that isn't really used the rest of the day except maybe for an evening cocktail hour. I recently went on a weekend trip with some GFs at a hotel like that and they let us use the space after breakfast and in the evening to play cards. There would be plenty of space but you would need lengthy extension cords and task lights. Have fun!

We used to go to a hotel for a quilt camp 2 times a year and for one of the days, we would sew in the room itself and we always used the small table in the room for the 2 sewing machines and used the beds for laying stuff out. It actually went really good. You will have so much fun - enjoy the time.

I didn't read all the replies, but just an FYI : Super 8 Motels have built new motels around the country that are really nice. They have lots of space for sewing, either in the room or in the lobby or breakfast room. (They also have indoor pools!) You will know by the advertised price whether it's an old motel or a new one. (BTW, no affiliation to Super 8)
