A wise move on their part!
But seriously, Hegenberger Rd. between 880 and the airport (where the Hilton is) is going to be ok enough, but if you don't know where you are going, don't wander on the streets, esp. on the other side of the freeway.
Agree absolutely. And I wouldn't walk even Hegenberger at night. There is an "Asian Buffet" across from the Wells Fargo building not far from the op's hotel (I have zero idea of its quality). There is also a Carrows next door to the Bank of America building (again, not far down Hegenberger from the Hilton)
