The room was clean but the neighborhood was so bad that the hotel staff recommended I did not leave the hotel after dark. They were right, the area is "next level" bad. Driving is probably fine, walking would be horrible judgement, regardless of race, creed, color, or gender!
Expect to pay $6 for parking in their parking lot. There's really no choice unless you want to park outside of the hotel property and have your car broken into or stolen.
