Unfortunately, most all value hotels are on the south side of the city - 2.5mi from the nearest ADT Waypoint. But they are next to a Walmart Supercenter making this a great resupply stop. You can follow the Prairie Spirit Trail for most of the journey picking it up at 5th & Walnut St and taking it to W 23rd St.
