Sounds like a different hotel would be a choice to make rather than trying to insist that a hotel change its design around an individual
A bit odd to colour the OP a lone MacBook traveller with the ludicrous expectation of having her offbeat whim catered for. Apple devices are pretty much mainstream, and their chargers are, well, what they are.
I'm not sure the hotel needs to change its design, but most hotels with pretensions to an international profile go to some trouble to cater for a range of international plugs: even the whacky ones we use in the UK. So maybe the HIEQ could recognise the design flaw in the power sockets they provide, and offer a solution.
The most satisfying of these would be to change the sockets (hardly a major structural project) or, as a makeshift, provide adaptors to those rare beasts, the MacBook users.
