The location of the hotel is great! So close to the main train station and subways lines. I never felt unsafe, but I could see how people thought the area was sketchy at night. But tons of lights and places open, so not a big deal. I will say they were a club/bar right outside of our room; however the the windows are so strong, and when closed you could hear nothing. Overall this was a great hotel for the location and just a couple of nights. We spent 2 nights and it was perfect, and I would do it again.
