Well, being a recovering self-admitted techno-geek of Biblical proportions, I have to confess that I know this answer right off the top of my pointy head: CPAPs like most modern-day, high-value equipment uses a standard IEC connector. So, any computer, printer, copier, fax machine power cable will work. Go down to the hotel office and I guarantee they've had this question a million times before and have a stash of them.

Your story worried me at first - thought you were going to say you forgot the mask - now that's a problem. But, if duct tape could save the Apollo mission I'm sure it could be used to make a temporary mask replacement. I propose a contest with pictures! :)
