Ignoble
Pros:

Absolument rien

Cons:

Accueil pourri , endroit pourri , chambre glauque et dégueulasse, pas d'eau chaude donc pas de douche ( de toute façon vu l'état de la douche avec des poils de cul , on l'aurait pas utilisée) on est resté une seule nuit sur les 2 réservées, on a mis le frigo devant la porte pendant la nuit vue l'état de la porte , table brûlée par des cigarettes, les draps puait la clope , taches jaunes de pisse sur les murs des toilettes.
Paiement en cash seulement, aucune réponse aux sollicitations ( eau chaude ? 1 petite serviette de plus ) on cest barré dans un autre hôtel dès le lendemain en priant pour pas avoir choppé une merde . A fuir , le couple qui gère en a rien a foutre, il veulent juste palper leur cash . Payez un peu plus cher mais n'allez pas là bas .

Horrible je n’ai même pas osé dormir.
Cons:

Arrivée à l’hôtel on me demande de payer en espèce uniquement, ensuite on me dit qu’ils ont un automate j’essaye il ne marche pas. Le monsieur en pyjama il faut le dire qui en plus a haussé le ton une fois me dit d’aller en voiture à une autre banque à 3 milles du motel mais si je n’avais pas eu de voiture comment on aurait fait ? À pied ? C’est inacceptable de plus le logement est insalubre pas du tout comme sur les photos et mon lavabo était remplie de tâches. On m’a également refilé un billet avec du scotch en me rendant la monnaie, je n’ai remarqué que par la suite donc inutilisable vraiment du foutage de gueule.

Cons:

The booking information doesn’t state that you must be 21+ to stay here. Once I arrived and learned this, the staff said they would make an “exception” but only as long as I didn’t talk to anybody at the property or leave my room unless I was leaving the property. I did not feel safe with this and the check in process felt sketchy. Having to get cash out of their ATM to pay. The room itself which I saw for only a moment was disgusting and warm down, nothing like the pictures shown.

inexistante
Pros:

je ne sais pas, je n'es même pas pu y mettre les pieds, j'avais fais une réservation une semaine à l'avance et m'avait dit de régler sur place le moment venu de régler, j'arrive et la dame de la réception me dit qu'ils sont complets et qu'on devait se débrouiller pour trouver un endroit où dormir

It was not good and I do not recommend it at all.

I liked nothing about it.

Cons:

It was very dirty. The shower was dirty and the floor was not cleaned and it had a very strong cigarette scent and burnt marks on the floor as well.
