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.
