At Scotch Corner you go in and their is an ipad on the reception desk. You put in your details, but when I went there was no option for EV charging, you just had to put "Hotel Guest". The guy in reception told me that was fine. There is nothing stopping a malicious-parker to do the same so seems totally pointless.
I consider introducing a system which forces you to go inside and play with a shared ipad to be totally tone-deaf in the current pandemic. I had phoned ahead and asked the hotel if, in order to avoid contact, I could phone them from the carpark so that they could enter my details for me and they said they wouldn't do that. If (like me) you are travelling to support a lone person who is isolating then going inside a hotel on the way there is out of the question, which meant on the way there I avoided Scotch Corner and had to spend ages at Leeds instead (incidentally the new chargers at the service centre are in a terrible spot that is overcrowded with customers who aren't there to charge). The whole setup seems to me to be just trying to catch people out
