  The verbs that use に just show that you exist at a location.
  The verbs that use で show that you are actively doing something at a location.

  So, with the example, you might be thinking that “stay” (泊まる) is an action, but it’s really just describing that you exist at that hotel, and then the actions you take at that location are check-in, eat, talk, sleep. The hotel is the stage/setting for the actions that you do.

  今夜、ホテルに泊まって、ホテルのレストランで食べて、ホテルの部屋のベッドで寝ます。
  This evening, I’ll stay at the hotel (I’ll be at the hotel), and eat at the hotel restaurant, and sleep in the hotel bed.

  Here’s a link that even has examples where both に or で could be used and the different nuances of each.

  この漫画にはフリガナがついているから読よみやすいです.
  I also saw this example sentence, what nuance would it make if it’s just ‘この漫画はフリガナがついているから読よみやすいです’? without the ‘に’? Thank you in advance!

  For には, it’s probably better to think of it as a different particle from either に or は.
