Full analysis
Overview
What appears to be a Portuguese-language local hospitality website for Motel Chevalier in Lages, Santa Catarina, Brazil, presenting short-stay suites, amenities, promotions, location details, operating hours, and reservation prompts as a direct-booking motel business.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The principal risk is a confirmed external blacklist result accompanied by malicious and suspicious detections, creating a material contradiction with the site’s otherwise ordinary motel presentation. The available page content describes suites, private garages, hydro facilities, sauna, Wi-Fi, and telephone-based reservations, and does not show a login form, hidden sensitive form, wallet connection, or obvious brand impersonation. Nevertheless, the external threat signals and observed browser activity—including unusual network activity, substantial post-interaction DOM changes, and console errors—warrant a security-forward posture for credentials, payments, or other sensitive interactions. No separate identity contradiction between legal entities was observed.
- External reputation telemetry records a confirmed blacklist hit, with 2 malicious and 1 suspicious detections among 3 evaluated detections.
- Browser testing recorded 14 external XHR requests, 10 external POST requests, a maximum external-activity ratio of 74.6%, 758 maximum DOM differences after interaction, and 8 console errors; no hidden forms or wallet-drainer activity was detected.
- The homepage presents Motel Chevalier as a local motel with suite descriptions, amenities, contact details, and reservation prompts, while the page analysis recorded no phishing or impersonation indicators.
- Registration telemetry records creation on 2023-03-16, approximately 3.43 years of domain age, while archive records show 78 snapshots spanning 2010–2026 across 17 tracked years; this provenance discrepancy should not be treated as resolved.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site’s apparent business model is conventional hospitality rather than a financial or investment service. Available content provides operational and location information, but does not state a corporate registration number, hospitality authorization, or other formal licensing detail; this is a transparency and verification gap, not by itself evidence of fraud. The real-world operator remains unverified, and the domain’s external reputation issue should be treated separately from the site’s on-page business description.
- The available site content identifies the business as Motel Chevalier and describes short-stay accommodation, amenities, promotions, and direct reservation activity.
- No license, registration number, or formal regulatory authorization is stated in the available legal or business-disclosure content.
- Hosting resolves through AS270797, Brasil Cloud Servicos de Computacao em Nuvem Ltda, Brazil.
- The site uses a domain-validated TLS certificate issued by YE2, valid through 2026-11-14.
What to Verify Next
An independent local-business or corporate-registry check should confirm that Motel Chevalier operates at the stated premises and that the published reservation contact belongs to that business. Before payment, the booking channel should provide the merchant identity, cancellation terms, refund conditions, and a payment method with appropriate dispute protection. Enterprise security teams should also reconcile the external reputation status independently before permitting credential or payment workflows involving the domain.
- The homepage and contact content provide the business name, location, operating information, and telephone-based reservation route for independent comparison.
- The booking model relies on direct reservations and ancillary accommodation services rather than a documented regulated-service framework.
- The site’s available interaction flow does not expose a sensitive web form, so independent confirmation of the booking and payment channel is particularly important.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust, with elevated risk concentrated on sensitive interactions. Although the site presents a coherent local-business proposition and contains no clear on-page phishing mechanics, the external contradiction is sufficiently material that apparent legitimacy cannot be treated as established.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a single hosting address associated with Brasil Cloud Servicos de Computacao em Nuvem Ltda, with no CDN or WAF edge identified. This provides a clear hosting path but limited intermediary protection; infrastructure characteristics do not offset the external reputation risk.
- The resolved address is 177.131.140.93 in Brazil.
- Infrastructure telemetry identifies 1 unique IP, 0 CDN edge IPs, and 1 likely origin IP.
Closing Assessment
Sensitive actions should remain restricted until the operator, booking terms, payment recipient, and external reputation status have been independently confirmed through trusted channels.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about motelchevalier.com.br at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
