Some people (not you JFS 3) seem to have an emotional defensive response to hearing pilots ask if it’s safe to have a layover at this hotel considering recent events. I’m all for having the discussion. I don’t want to end up laying over in an office park but I’ve had some uncomfortable moments over the years with the crazies around that area as well. Did American change their hotel or are they sticking to the place?
i know I’m in the minority but I despise downtown layovers. Usually they are far away, traffic sucks, sounds of conventions and drunk people. I’d take someplace closer with some things to do and places to eat over downtown any day. For me it’s not necessarily safety, but more so it’s just more annoying.
