I am not from this area, but was visiting with a friend in the area. The 3rd floor hall smelled heavily of cigar smoke, the smell lingered the 24 hours we were there. Once enering into my room, which was a non smoking section, I could no longer smell it. It just seemed to stay in the hall. Our bathroom door had 2 holes punched in the back of it. Like someone was mad and punched it. Other than that everything was in good repair. My room was quiet, and I could not hear neighbors or people in the hall. I felt a bit uncomfortable entering in/out as there always seemed to be people hanging around the doors, either smoking with a group of others right near the doors, it felt uncomfortable to have to walk through the group to get to the door. I encountered the same problem at a side entrance where a group of people were gathered with a caged bird, and a mean looking dog. I don't know if this is a safe area or not, and this particular group of people did not look like overly friendly, nor did they move out of the way for me to enter. I had to walk around the dog, and excuse myself from the person leaning on the door that was being held open with a rock. I'm guessing these were also guests, but why did they have a caged bird outside with them, I don't know? Perhaps they are extended stay residents? Upon exit at another time, early, I found a family all with pajamas on and 3 kids waiting at the back door, for me to exit. When I did they quickly entered? They should have had a key card
