Take a taxi. Will cost about 10 euros. Max 20 if night tardif and you are unlucky.
Last thing I would want is to tow 2 heavy suitcases at 10 pm.
Regarding safety I have never heard of violent robbery in Pisa and I certainly walked much later at night. Once half plastered actually. I saw a lot of students more drunk than I was but no robber.

I agree, get a cab.

if the budget will not allow that there is a train from Pisa Centrale goes through to Pisa Pisa S.Rossore, [the closest station to the Leaning Tower etc] so no need to catch a bus; you would then have a 20 min walk to the hotel but it does take you past all the sights. Probably still too much with those big suitcases. [WHY???]

Your hotel is close to the tower (within site). During the day you would take the LAM bus (red one) direction Park Pietransantina, but it only runs until about 8:30 or so. Check schedules for lines 21 and 22 as both operate that late (you can click the lines to see the route maps). I would get off close to the tower since your hotel is so close.

Your bigger problem is 2 suitcases as city buses don't have underneath storage like buses between cities.

Taxis are set fee from Centrale to the tower (9€). Some cities allow a euro or two charge for luggage (per suitcase),but I don't see it mentions that.

it's a while since I took a cab in Pisa but they should have a meter which you should check is running. Centrale is the central station so there should be taxis there on a Monday night.
