I stayed at the Econo Lodge 4 miles away. Cathy and Andy asked if it was safe. I paid $82 a night. The room was clean, the bathroom was brand new and the water pressure was great. If my wife was with me, I would have flipped for a better one or stayed at your hotel. I had to drive, so couldn't drink. I would have been buzzed like Ashley. Since I was by myself, I was happy with a microwave, mini fridge, continental breakfast and cheaper rate.
I travel with a firearm and my cars have a viper pager alarm. I "think" I'm safe wherever I stay.
