Hotels with pool tables

Has anyone come across any hotels with pool tables in their travels? I like having a place to play pool where I'll be laying my head that night. I've only came across 2 of them. They are advertised on their websites in the pictures. Would it be worth creating a list if there are enough of them around?

First one is in Bismarck, ND

Just a regular old Valley bar table I believe. It's been about 5-6 years since I stayed there but got the picture from their website. The recent reviews, however, mention that the bar/restaurant and pool were not open recently. Bonus of full bar and blackjack tables. The company I worked for at the time had an office in Bismarck. I always asked to get booked here when I was in town working. I don't remember their cues being horrible. Edited to add - this table I think took paper dollars or quarters best I recall.

Second one is in Brush, CO at the local Motel 6. This place has what I think is the only bar/grill in town and two Predator bar tables. It is actually attached to the Motel but you have to walk outside the Motel to walk into the bar/grill as they keep the direct access door blocked. Lots of league play in here so access to the tables can be spotty in the evenings. I was told they have tournaments on the weekends. Bar/grill is called The Far Corner. Full bar with limited food menu and sometimes the kitchen is closed. Bar cues are okay. Edited to add - these are largely free use tables although I think they sometimes charge by the hour.

Thought patterns ...

My psychology training told me that the subconscious doesnt register the negator in, "Don't Miss." Therefore a miss is produced. Whenever that sort of Don't thought enters the mind I need to get up off the shot and start over. The "Don't Scratch " thought is deadly. 🤷‍♂️
I replace it with an exact resting point for whitey.

This. Say, 'after I make this shot, the cue ball will stop there.'

Reddit banned me for posting pictures of Temu pool t-shirts

My 600-day streak of posting on Reddit ended when I posted there pictures of t-shirts. Reddit permanently banned me for having violated r/Billiards Rule #3:
AI slop is not allowed. That includes pool apps. Please create your own content to be posted here. Free apps allowed over at the r/billiardsapps sub​

And wrote:
We don't allow AI slop as stated in Rule #3. We also have a longstanding problem with T-shirt scammers posting billiards shirts here for the last decade where they get your payment info and steal your credit card. A couple of the shirt designs you posted are the classic ones that T-shirt scammers use. After people comment, they send DMs to the commentors with links to scam sites where they can "order" the shirt designs. Your comments are also regularly filtered by the automod for containing words we don't allow here on the sub. ​

This was not AI slop; Temu slop, perhaps, but not something I got AI to make. Reddit's moderator seemed to agree with me that I was not the t-shirt scammer but kept in force the permanent ban.

Nearly two months later I formally appealed the ban and it appeared to go to the same moderators as before. Reddit ended the permanent ban and allowed me to post and comment again.

It’s odd because why the interest in AI slop? Why the permanent ban and, then, recognizing weeks later what was evident all along by ending the ban?

I had posted four of the same pictures on AZBilliards and there were no comments and no ban there.

Photos below of the four pictures only found on the Reddit post, the Reddit post's first page, and the AZ post.

If temu used AI to generate the image, the AI detection software will still recognize it as such.
