The second bathroom had 2 queen beds and another full bathroom which was very helpful with my 3 teen girls.

However, I discovered that there weren&#8217;t any baking pans for the oven. If I wanted to use the oven, I would need to buy aluminum trays with my grocery order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Needless to say, that was all that was needed to squash my motivation to cook a &#8220;homemade&#8221; meal. We ordered pizza from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brickspizzamenu.com\/\">Brick&#8217;s Pizza<\/a>, picked up sandwiches from the Jimmy Johns located next door, and placed an order for Chinese from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sichuanwok.com\/\">Sichuan Wok<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11572 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/eat.jpg\" alt=\"eat\" width=\"467\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/eat.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/eat-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/eat-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Free Breakfast<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Breakfast was fantastic.

Along with 4 juice choices and of course coffee. A breakfast this big would have cost my family $80 or more at a restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">An evening reception called The Residence Inn Mix is available 3 nights a week in the lobby.

She recognized the necessity for a comprehensive resource of hotels that cater to big families with rooms and suites for 5, 6, 7, or 8 people in a single room while traveling with her own family.
