My dad and I stayed there with our Models S a few months ago and had a great conversation with the guy who handles the day-to-day physical maintenance. During that visit he ran some extension cords for us to trickle charge over night but we didn't get enough charge to get home on that and ended up having to do some scrounging. We encouraged him to get in touch with Tesla and it would appear as though he listened. More interesting is that Tesla appears to have provided the hotel with the units! This is, quite frankly, just as important, IMHO, as the Supercharger network. Tesla needs to start giving HPWCs to hotels in places like Bend where they're not likely to install Superchargers but where folks with Teslas are likely to go! Now, I have no proof that this is how it actually went down but I like to think we had a small part in it.
One of the points we made the guy at The Riverhouse was that the hotel in the area that puts in charging is the one the Model S owner (person who can afford a nice hotel) is going to stay. There are nicer hotels in Bend but I'll be staying at the Riverhouse in the near future simply because they have charging available
