wonderful lodging experience

terrace seating areaamazing foodgreat restaurantlow ceiling height
The staff provided great service from check-in to departure they even arranged a seating area on our room's terrace so friends could join us for wine. the food at le 36 was amazing i found room #4 to be the best. i appreciated the restaurant. It had great food.
The room i stayed in felt very dated and it was in a building opposite the main hotel the bathroom had a hand-held shower over a small bath. i could not stand up in the bath due to the low ceiling height. This was a problem.
