I have no complaints about any of the places that I went to on vacation with my late husband and our children.  However, there was a place that I traveled THROUGH on my way to another location.  I made the mistake of booking a room at a hotel to spend  the night.  We would only be there for one night.  The next morning we would check out and continue our journey.  We were driving through on our way to Texas and stopped to spend in the night in Birmingham, Alabama.  I made the hotel reservations over the phone.  I had no idea it was in a rough part of town and that the area was not safe and known for crime.  Lesson learned.  I won't do that again!
