In the picture I see it is a bunk house and you can sleep there for only 7 cents. I'm going to be honest people this is no Hampton hotel it's really small and crowded dirty. There are no real beds there it's like they tied  bed sheets to two wooden pieces and said here you go. This place looks so dirty from the picture i mean what could you expect for 7 cents? The best part is your not sleeping alone! strangers sleep across from you and more people sleep on top of you doesn't that feel comfy?.  I would not be able to live like this ,those people lived a harsh reality . This is how they had to live i guess in the time period.
