The photos and description are misleading. The hotel appears to be a nice mid-range quality place, but it is in fact very old with rooms under construction. The door does not have a deadbolt or safety latch---only a lightweight knob lock on a regular key. The entryway feels run down, especially due to very old carpeting. The window has bars on it, and opens to an alley that had strange passersby during the night. There were many unexplained bangs that were loud enough to wake me (even with earplugs). I did not feel safe for the first and second nights of my stay, but gradually became more comfortable.
I stayed 5 nights, and in the end became more comfortable with the place. It worked. But I am super happy to now be in a proper hotel on the next stop of my trip. The _good news_ is that the room itself was clean, including the bathroom. It is sparsely decorated, and not finely decorated---but it is clean. My suggestion to the owner is to avoid over-selling the quality with the photos, so peoples' expectations are set. I may have had a more positive experience, and maybe even felt more safe, if I was aware of what I was booking.
