(which turns into W.25th also called 42) then right down into the flats. If you want to go anywhere else, you're staying right on 480 which can easily get you anywhere with the connects to other highways. We have poor public transportation, but very efficient highway system.
Hotels off 71 fine too, 71 will get you anywhere with connects. But not the hotels on the streets I mentioned, sketch. Some areas you drive through on W.25th (42) will look sketchy but fine to drive through.
