I searched explicitly for an EV charger at a hotel near Knoxville, and there are few -- maybe 4 in total. The prior trip here, I used a free charger (8kw) at a downtown parking lot that was a few blocks from my hotel. This time, I searched for EV charger on property, and the Hilton Garden Inn at Cedar Bluff claimed to have one. DO NOT BOOK HERE FOR AN EV CHARGER. It is a single plug Blink model, 6.7 kw (WEAK) and it costs $0.53 per kwhr (EXPENSIVE). In a hotel that already cost almost $200 per night!!! I ended up driving to a Tesla charger 3 miles away. Do yourself a favor, book near Tesla at a cheaper hotel and walk across the street. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Note to Hilton: Get with the program and build chargers at every single hotel. And make them free. The $20-30 expense for a crap charger that many cities offer for free is damaging your brand. Your system will loose several hotel stays from me due to this poor experience. And I have learned that Hilton cannot be trusted to properly and correctly describe and represent its EV amenities.
