I am frustrated by the number of hotels that don't have at least one outlet near the beds that is accessible and available.
On more than one occasion, I've had to unplug one of the room lamps to plug in my CPAP, but I can only think of one time I've been completely without the ability to plug mine in with its cord and the fairly short (<10') extension cord I keep in the CPAP case - and that was in the hotel we stayed in in London after the 2005 Worldcon (inexpensive for London, but had a lot of issues). In Glasgow I had to run the cord around the corner into the bathroom, but it reached. I think that one time in Bangalore I may have had to resort to stretching it across the room - but only for one night before I liberated the correct plug adapter from work, having somehow misremembered which adapter I needed from my prior trip.
On the other hand, the Motel 6 in Anaheim near Disneyland has multiple outlets above the nightstands - possibly a result of a recent remodel/redecoration that accounted for modern travelers with CPAPs, BIPAPs, phone chargers, etc.
