About 3/4 to 1 mile of walking. Fox & Obel was our go to spot when we lived on the other side of the river. Now Mariano's is right next door. Very convenient.

Have you called the hotel to ask about the lounge? I would ask what their average fare is. We recently spent 5 nights at another hotel with complimentary lounge. It was convenient but the food was on the high fat side. Lots of cheese and fried. The tomatoes and nice bits to the salad were generally picked off by the time we got there. Romaine lettuce again?? At Mariano's you will have a generous hot and salad bar plus a full deli case of already made entrees, pizza, coffee shop items, sorbet and gelato. It's a beautiful store. Outdoor patio for eating or if the weather is cool you can sit inside. Our favorite spot is the high counter overlooking the dog park and park.

And you'll probably want to experience one brunch at Wildberry: http://www.wildberrycafe.com
