We are overnighting in San Salvador on our way to Belize. We have never been to El Salvador so forgive me if the questions seem silly.
We booked at the Quality Inn 2 miles from the airport with a shuttle for price and convenience (in at 7p out by 8a).
Is this an OK hotel?
Is the area safe enough that we'll be fine riding the shuttle to and from the hotel and overnighting there?
Anything we should know or be concerned about or advised of?
Thanks.
Just overnighting in San Salvador have questions

The airport is about 30 miles from San Salvador, so staying a couple of miles from the airport, you will still be nowhere near the city. It doesn't lend itself easily to seeing San Salvador that evening. The upside is that you'll be close to the airport when you fly out in the morning. I've stayed in the city and had a morning flight out, and that meant getting up VERY early for the 45-60 minute drive to the airport. You won't have to contend with that.
It's a good hotel, and the ride between airport and hotel will be just fine.
