I work in some of the worst neighborhoods in Cleveland, and honestly, not many places scare me here. Maybe they did when I first started this job, but having done it for over 2 years, I've never once had an issue, so it doesn't really bother me anymore. I guess the most scared I've been was shortly after I moved into my new house, which is in a gentrifying but still rough around the edges area, and I clearly heard gunshots at least 3 separate times on one night, one of which, I found out while listening to a police scanner, was just a few blocks from my house.
Right but it was also in the middle of the Florida university of campus and right in the center of the town. Its not like it was off the beaten path. And we stayed at plenty of motel 6s on that road trip and I'll give you that more were sketchy than not but I was still surprised after visiting because the area felt safer.
NE Baltimore (Broadway near JH Hospital). There are worse parts of Baltimore I've heard, but that's the scariest I dared to drive in & I got out of there quick.
Allison Hill in Harrisburg gave me the same feel to a lesser degree, as well as Northside Pittsburgh east of the bird zoo.
But the winner for me as scariest place I've been is the Bronx somewhere near Yankee Stadium and I wasn't driving.
The scariest place I've been walking in is the north side of downtown Nassau Bahamas. I saw a sketchy looking park and I turned right around. Then I almost got hit by a car at a blind corner.

It is not "right in the middle" of the University of Florida campus. The Motel 6 is located right next to I-75 about 3 miles from campus. Gainesville overall is rather safe and quite rankly similar seedy motels can be found in any city right off the major highway.
The Motel 6 in Ft Collins Colorado right off the highway is (or at least was 5-10 years ago when I was last there) a great no frills hotel. Extremely safe, clean, and comfortable. I've read that it's gone downhill recently.
