In the middle of nowhere

Very limited breakfast menu but worse is the location. There are not many restaurants nearby and unless you are going to the hospitals close by, there are not convenience stores or restaurants close by. Worse - the hotel takes advantage of the situation by charging astronomical amount for common items. Example : a regular (no king side) Hershey chocolate bar almost $5. This is ridiculous.
