there was a smoke smell in the room that was very unpleasant. We had a newborn baby with us and were worried that someone had smoked in the room. Also, the night we stayed, there was a big fight in one of the units and one of the unit doors were smashed. 4am in the morn the police knocked on our door to inquire if we heard anything. also, we noticed all this smashed glassed up the drive way
