Casey - just stopped by to pitch in my "THANK YOU!" too.
Still relevant for the Nov 2017 RR, and I can tell the excitement is already in the air.

I've been asked a few times about places to eat - at or near the hotel - especially for those travelers not able to bring any amounts of their own food & drink.

It might be cool (if I were computer savvy enough, I'd offer to do it myself) if a Google Map page/radius map of restaurants in close proximity and reasonably safe (for those walking) distances from the hotel could be made available.

Folks with smart phones probably can manage on their own, with help from someone with local knowledge - but for those WITH STUPID, or NO phones - a little map should be helpful. Anyone got some good ideas?

Two inexpensive places VERY near the hotel are Subway and Denny's. Also, there is a Taco Bell across the street (eat at your own risk!) and a McDonalds within a short walk. I eat most of my meals at Subway and Denny's though I will have 1-2 nice dinners at the hotel restaurant as the food is pretty good (but pricey!).

You can talk a short walk to some gas station convenience stores and load up on protein bars, granola bars, cracker packs, snacks, etc. too. I usually do that. There is free coffee in every room so many mornings my breakfast is in-room coffee and a protein bar.

HTH!
