The location for seeing events at the Landmark Theater is perfect. Slowest elevator in the world. Parking is not clearly marked as to where to park. Front entrance is very difficult to find. There was a lot problems with lights in the room. could not turn off the dining area over head without turning off the kitch area lights. Biggest problem was the breakfast. They ran out of everything including the pancake batter in a jug with 45 minutes left. Front desk no help, and couldn't find the attendant. My big breakfast was two hardboiled eggs.
