What I mean is that if you put in the address or "Skyview 6" into an Uber or Lyft app does it come up or not. It did not when I was there a few months ago which created huge problems for ride share and delivery services. If that is still the case then the advice of just get everything delivered is not going to work easily. I also do not recommend Skyview 6 for any long course as you are limited on what food you can store and meals you can make in your room. I loved the Candlewood where I had a kitchenette and a full sized fridge.
With that said I did love Skyview 6 for the short course based on the convenience or just being a short walk in a secure location from the SIMs, especially at night.

Skyview 6 will be assigned for your 2-week indoc training. It's an option for your 1-month ground training but normally only assigned if you request it. Standard for ground training is a full suite hotel nearby.
The place is a palace. Rooms are comfortable if small and the thermostat actually works. The gym will make you think you work for the NFL (seriously!) It's jaw-dropping. It has a mini football field with weighted sleds you can push even. Dozens of bikes and treadmills. Free weights and cybex machines. Classes: yoga, spinning, and more. Limited hours is correct. Current info says 6 am-9 pm weekdays, 6 am-3 pm weekends.
If you're into fitness it's also worth mentioning the Skyview has a basketball court (alternates basketball and pickleball setup every other day), volleyball and multiple walking/running trails all over. Bikes you can grab as well.
Since I have my flyer next to me, the Compass dining room (in Skyview 6) breakfast hours are 6-9:30 am, Lunch 10:30-1:30 pm, dinner 4 pm-8 pm. It's a one- price cafeteria, roughly $9 for breakfast and $13 for lunch/dinner. This includes an entree, two sides and a drink. Omelette bar for breakfast as well as scrambled eggs, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, coffee (don't bother with the cafe in the lobby, coffee is included with breakfast). Lunch will be a couple of entree and side choices and a salad bar. Honestly I thought the food choices were quite good. It can be crowded at breakfast. Additionally there are grab-and-go snacks in the lobby such as sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, carrots and hummus, breakfast burritos, snacks and even decent sushi.
The Tavern is a nice bar-restaurant open for dinner, though it's much pricier and drinks tend to be slow (never staffed enough!). Good food though!
Hope this helps. I know several folks that don't care to cook and requested the Skyview for the month long ground training. Others who need to drink beer in their room and/or cook prefer the suite hotel.

Thanks for the detailed summary! Do you know if you can use the amenities as an employee without staying? Like opt for a different hotel but swing by the gym when time allows?

I do not believe you can. I needed to scan my Skyview 6 hotel room key at the front counter of the gym when coming in.

Beautiful facility. Some really nice artwork all around. Starbucks inside. There is a 24/7 serve yourself area. Didn’t try it but had a variety of food.
Get on a bicycle and visit the headquarters. Really nice in there. Huge variety of food. Game rooms and all the latest stuff to entice new workers.
The rooms are very nice. Never heard another person.
For recurrent training I think it’s great. Convenient to training center. It’s called Skyview 7? I walked every day.
Long training I think I would go a little stir crazy. I’d rather the hotel across highway with kitchen and many restaurants nearby.
