"I chose this place because the pictures looked decent and it was the cheapest place to stay for $226 a night. I was charged for the room before ever entering it. There were bugs crawling up the night stand. It was very loud which made it hard to sleep. Nothing else was offered. $226 for not even 8 hours. This place needs to either up its appeal or lower their prices."
