> Staying at a "nicer" more expensive hotel in not-the-ghetto doesn't make it safe or secure or have any less problems than the cheap ghetto ones.

I've stayed in many hotels over the years at all different price points and in general there has been an almost perfect correlation between price and the quality of cleaning/rooms/service.

We lived in hotels for 6 weeks a couple years ago doing a cross country trip. My experience is the difference between a $25/night motel and a $90/night hotel isn't (much) the accommodations but rather the class of your neighbors for the night. Screaming fights / loud parties / yelling down the hall at 3 am occurred on the low end, not the high.
