Old building that needs rennovating, but i understood that with the price point. Waited 10-15 minutes after contiously ringing the bell to check in. I could hear people in the back (seemed to be a family who lives there) but another older gentlement came in through the front door. He was very friendly. Room was not good. Gnats were in the room, beds were very cheap and on cheap bed frames to where if you move it make a lot of noise. I could hear the same noise from the room above. Only a sheet and a very thin blanket on the beds. I opened the microwave to heat some food and the smell inside the microwave was so putrid i almost vomited, so i couldnt use it. I was afraid to open the mini refrigerator so i didnt even try. I will not stay here again.
