Paul Roberts, 49, of no fixed address, went into the room at Leigh’s homeless hub, on Chapel Street, as a trespasser on January 14.
He pleaded guilty when he appeared before Wigan magistrates and the case was adjourned until April 11 so a pre-sentence report can be prepared.
He was remanded on bail until then, with a condition not to go to the hub.
