Hotdesking by definition doesn't have reservations. Office Hotelling has reservations.
I think that reservations can only help, if nothing else but to track usage. One would "reserve" a space as they begin to use the space, or "checking in" a la 4Square/Gowalla. As a "space operator", I think some kind of reservation/check-in system helps prevent any chaos that could ensue if too many people come in than there are desks. Anyway, this kind of stuff isn't evil folks.
