I would like to know if the Hilton Garden Inn off Meridan and I-40 by H and H shooting sports gun store is a good safe option to stay or if there is a better part of town to choose hotel?
Stay further south down Meridian and maybe off Meridian East onto 15th a 1/2 block. Newer. Cleaner. Less riffraff.
If you are new to staying in and around that area; leave no valuables in ur car in sight. Lock everything. Don’t be cruising around on foot much after dark. If an area looks sketchy it probably is. If the rates are dirt cheap, there is a reason. If you are towing a trailer, find a spot where you can back it against a wall and your tow vehicle not be blocking all the thru traffic. If it sticks out but doesn’t completely block anyone in, you’re good.
It ain’t Chicago, but it’s a big city and there is no place that is 100% safe anymore. Enjoy your stay.
