This ^^^

Then read the reviews carefully. Call the hotel and verify they are working if there aren't recent reviews. Consider a TeslaTap if adding that plug to the PlugShare filter shows additional hotels. We could have stayed at a hotel that had a broken L2 charger but a working Tesla charger but had to switch. Note - TeslaTap website is crap, and their email is subject to spammers. Tread cautiously.

Plugshare for sure, but you will sometimes find hotels that have chargers that have not been added to PlugShare or do not show up for whatever reason. I have also ended up at some hotels that do not have chargers, but I find that there are office buildings nearby that have chargers not labeled on PlugShare because I assume that the offices do not want hotel guests using them. For some newer hotels, I have found chargers listed on their websites, but not listed on PlugShare yet, so it is always worth checking the hotel site and also checking PlugShare.

Unfortunately, many hotel chains don't have the ability to filter for hotels with chargers.

Hotels.com has an "Electric car charging station" filter under Amenities.

AirBnB, as much as I despise that company (even though I have a property listed on there in Door County, Wisconsin), also allows you to filter on properties that have EV chargers...

I start here then use plugshare to see the condition of the chargers at the hotel

PlugShare - temporary filter by Hotel/Lodging

https://www.plugshare.com/ or in the App.
be aware plugshare mostly rely on user reports, so could be outdated and miss out some hotels. I use it along with other methods, and feel it's very useful showing the number of chargers -- I only choose hotels with multiple chargers if possible.

And that means that we users can add them also. I have.
