Overall, my experience at Bougainviller was quite disappointing. The hotel had a lovely ambiance and features, but unfortunately, a closed restaurant and poor service overshadowed the positives. The room I was assigned lacked natural light and was quite dreary, which made it less comfortable. I won't be returning, as it failed to meet my expectations for a pleasant stay.

Le Bougainviller has some charming aspects, particularly its beautiful grounds and unique old wing rooms, but I encountered issues with the service and dining options. The newer wing lacked character and had noise disturbances. While the breakfast was solid, the limited dinner menu was disappointing, especially given the extras I expected during my stay.

My experience at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While I appreciated the charming public areas and the overall serene atmosphere, my room left much to be desired, and the dining options didn't meet my expectations. The service was adequate, but the location's convenience was overshadowed by some logistical challenges.

However, the dining options were quite limited, particularly since the restaurant was closed during my stay. Overall, it's a solid place for a comfortable stay, but the dining situation could use improvement.
