Jishnu and I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn last October, while Tom stayed at the Courtyard. You don't even have to cross the street to get from the station to the Hotel's, either one, so you might want to also look at rates for the HGI. It's a very safe neighborhood IMHO and certainly convienent to the light rail, frankly I'm not even sure that it's a five minute walk, unless you are really taking a very slow stroll. As Tom mentioned, you'll need to allow some time to get downtown, especially if you are there on weekends or traveling outside of the rush hour periods, I'd allow at least 1 hour for travel, more if your connecting to something.
