@DD and malwoody - I'm not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing that I know where all those places are....
And now that we have hijacked the thread. let get back to the OP's question..
IMHO your best bet is what Jackie Posted - PMing the providers that know more about the hotels in the area then most of us clients.
Before anyone gets upset about the above statement.. what I'm trying to say is that as clients we only know the Hotels for a short visits..
and just because it feels safe to us for a hour or two.. it might not be safe from the providers point of view.
And talking about what hotels to stay at in a open forum is never a good idea. especially with the Ted Bundy types that are posting lately.
