If you get in too late for your hotel shuttle, you'll discover that the post-10pm flat rate for a taxi to go the measly 3km is 500 birr ($25), which is outrageous for Ethiopia. So keep your walking options open! (You can easily walk under the motorway in question.)
I mean, I can afford the $25, but it's a matter of principle!
