As general context, it is worthwhile noting that the oft reported 2018 refugee crimewave in Germany has actually seen crime rates go down vs. previous years. I can also confirm that sex shops won't hurt you, unless you don't follow the instructions on some of their products.

area around Munich train station is generally safe, true it is a bit on the seedy end with all the sex shops. I have stayed in the LeM numerous times (30+) over the last years and never had any issues.
Never came across these alleged gangs of young refugees doing drugs and causing trouble in front of the hotels and around the station ... this is right-wing propaganda rather than reality.

I was in Munich a few months ago. Took the train, and ate around station and lounged about for hours while waiting for train. No issues whatsoever. Lots of sex shops but I felt fine.
I didn't stay at LM, my client had me stay at a boutique place but felt fine in city .

I've recently stayed at LM, in a nice suite on the top floor. There and the aloft seem safe to me, but I wouldn't walk on side streets in the area at night.
Sex shops have been a German institution for decades. [There are also some German TV shows that provide explicit sex advice.] It's always amused me that the branding (signage and corporate colors) for one of these chains looks very similar to that of Rex-all drugstores in that USA.

I've stayed at the Marriott on the north side a few times. It's in a residential area and only a block from the U6 and a 15 minute ride to Marienplatz. It's a typical Marriott, but we've enjoyed our stays there.

aloft?
I prefer the aloft to LM. It is a newer property, has large rooms, and even a laundry room. Area is seedy as reported but I never felt unsafe.
