St. Denis area

I’m meeting a couple friends who are going to Paris in March and giving them some advice on what to see & do - it’s their 1st time. Because of a free hotel deal, they’re staying at a Marriott in St. Denis, I believe in the general area of the Stade de France. Is anyone familiar with the area? I'm not, but I was under the impression that the northern burbs could be dicey. Would they be ok with metro/RER to get to the center or should they stick to taxis? For instance, would returning to their hotel via Metro at night be a bad idea?

That should be a Couryard which is part of the Mariott family. It's near the Carrefour Pleyel metro (couple minute walk). Area is commercial, but nothing wrong with it. Wrong area of town to be worried about.
