Electric kettles are definitely popular, but I don't think it makes such a difference compared to a decent standard kettle [0].
Boiling one or two cups of water won't take too long (30 sec ? 1min) on a gas or IH stove, it's easier to clean, no electric components, no maintenance, you can roughly adjust the temperature you want (i.e some teas are best at ~80°C), and it works with a gas burner during black outs.
[0] for home use of course. I don't see any way an hotel could provide a classic kettle without a full kitchen corner.
