When the power went out, we had just finished a tasty lunch of cheesesteaks delivered by Lee’s Hoagie House, supplemented with beer and other tasty beverages from the stocks we brought with us.
Later that evening, we weren’t about to try venturing out, but were pleased to discover that the hotel kitchen was still open (gas ranges and generators powering the walk-ins), so they were able to offer a limited menu. One outlet and one light, both over the fridge in the little area between the sitting room and the bedroom. Good thing, too; we were able to keep our devices charged. The scanners never stopped scanning, but it was a good thing we all carried power strips, as we had many more than two devices per room to plug in.
