I agree that the location might be a hotel room, but that beggars the question of the differing voltages between the US and Europe, doesn't it?

Although these days we associate two flat pins with 110 volt to 127 volt circuits, and two round pins with 220 volt to 240 volts, this has not always been the case, and even today there are exceptions.
Two flat pins, similar to USA connectors are used in China for 220 volts.
And two round pins was formerly more or less standard for any voltage except in the USA where there was a bit more standardisation.
