A decent proportion of hotel bathrooms have 240v ac available in them.


Quite possibly, though maybe 220 V (two anti-phase 110 V supplies, as is
supplied to houses to run high-power devices like aircon, tumble driers,
cookers).

However I'd still expect it to be 60 Hz, not 50 Hz. Depending on how
much the transformers or coils in motors are tuned, they may or may not
work at 60 if there are designed for 50.



60hz works on 50hz transformers. The reverse is less lilkely to be true
