Upon check-in there was a large group of homeless people about 20 ft away from the gated entry way. As we entered the property an individual who had been across the street with said group accessed the gate through his own means (likely he lived on the premise). He palmed and attempted to hide a little baggie of a white powdery substance (likely cocaine). The building the room was located was in incredibly poor condition. Many of the exterior windows were broken. Some had sheets/curtains hanging out or were partially boarded. The courtyard on the property was a disaster. The room itself was as advertised: small, simple and fairly clean. The lock was not particularly secure. It was not quiet. Noises echoed from all sides: the floors above, the hallway, the courtyard, etc. Will not be staying again. I'm all about budget traveling but I felt this was not the safest option.
