The neighborhood feels safe: (no broken windows, no graphiti, no riff raff/ no street gangs/no homeless, no police sirens blaring) but the general area is certainly not desirable. We paid only about $80 for a room night. The motel itself is not as nice as other Red Roof Inns. This motel seems old. There is a Denny's next door. The desk staff was nice. The room was clean.
