We walked to the many food places around : Starbucks is cross the street, El Pollo Loco is diagonally across the street .. McDonald’s is across the street , a gas station is next door to get drinks & snacks. Nothing is more than a 3 minute walk. As far as room conditions, everything was clean. We stayed on floor 4 of 4.
