Thanks in advance
I personally rented a car every other weeks. I can get a car from Ace for about $10-$14 for 24 hours. Laundry mat is about 5 min walk. Publix is a little more than a mile from the hotel. As far as food options, lots of fast food about a 5-10 min walk from the hotel. Just about everything is North (Behind the hotel, towards downtown). I personally think the Crown Plaza is a bad choice for a long term hotel. Transportation is a hit or miss for pick up at the training center. Sometimes the wait is 10 min, sometimes it's 40 min. I personally would bring food for lunch, since the food at the training center is very expensive.
