In fact, not wanting to sound overly negative, the area around the Ibis is mostly deserted and unsafe at night: would advise always taking cabs.

Not wishing to contradict local knowledge but don't you walk across a small park with a zillion taxi/limo drivers waiting for fares and police regularly patrolling to move along illegal parkers and the entrance to the Air Force base 20m to your right, then go over a well-traversed pedestrian bridge turn a corner and walk a block to arrive at the Ibis? Or maybe in preparation for the Olympics a 6 lane carriageway underpass has been built in the 6 months since I was last at SDU
