J'ai réservé une nuitée pour le 26 avril 2025 mais le propriétaire avait inscrit le 28 avril. Ensuite il nous a alloué une chambre qui n'était pas nettoyé. Les oreilles n'étaient pas changées. La salle de bain était salle aussi. Dans le bol de toilette il y avait des excréments. Donc nous avons partie de là. Après notre activité de soir nous avons retourné chez nous vers 4h du matin. Jamais j'ai vu ça au Canada.
