Depending on your budget, there is quite a selection of hotels to choose from. Look through downtown hotels here (http://bit.ly/gPGX52). As for safety, the more expensive hotels might have better security than budget hotels, though it's not guaranteed. Travel with a group or call ahead to potential hotels to see if they have security cameras or 24-hour front desk services, and request a room higher than the first floor to reduce the risk of break-ins.
