Cons:

Propreté de la chambre qui laisse a désirer (placard sale, des traces sang sur le mur ?).
Je n'ai presque pas pu fermer l'oeil de la nuit. Côté insonorisation, l'hôtel est proche d'une voie rapide, et le bruit nous le rappelle vite. J'ai aussi pu assister aux ébats de la chambre d'à côté... tout couine. Et gros coup de stress à minuit lorsqu'un homme s'est acharné à toquer à toutes les portes à plusieurs reprises.
