The Trop is indeed going through renovations, but $200 (even on a weekend night) is still exceedingly expensive.
I'm not going to CGE - couldn't work out the dates since I am moving - but if the Trop is sold out/not affordable for people, there is Hooter's next door. I stayed there last year and the room wasn't great - really needed a new everything - but I didn't see any roaches either. There is also a Motel 6 about a block east of the Trop.
