The best thing about this hotel is that it’s by Gateway if it were not for that the price should be significantly cheaper. There were a sworm of ants in the bathroom and we saw to roaches during the night. The bed was hard and room is small. I would’ve rated higher if not for the bugs. I read reviews prior to my stay and I was expecting bugs.
