I've never booked a hotel in a place where I felt I was scared. It has been times I had to book a room and get whatever they had due to a event in Philadelphia. I only changed rooms for two reasons-
1. One Client I had didn't want to leave so he waited for my next two clients and walked them to the door yelling and telling them not to do it I had a gun lol....
2. The hotel I stayed in was very ghetto and loud.... from Little Kids Running & Screaming, Adults Fighting, Loud Music, Internet Was Down.... etc (Yes, all in one day)

I try to pick a hotel that I like and no will be comfortable for me and my guest. To Me A Date Should Be Like A Quick Vacation.
