It doesn't look far to the Sheraton but:

- is it realistic to walk to the Sheraton or is the route not suitable for pedestrians?
- a couple of posters have suggested the area is rough. Is it safe to walk around?
It is a light industrial area near the airport. So not really optimized with pedestrians in mind. The straightest shot between the two properties is basically on industrial service roads. May or may not have sidewalks. More likely not. Of course anything is walkable and I consider these sorts of things a challenge rather than a deterrent but I would say this is for advanced mode pedestrians. For context, I am that guy who is getting funny looks and honks while dodging cars in [insert developing country here].
