Additional information

The BANQ is located on the 3rd and 4th floors. Although there is a long access ramp to the 4th floor, we advise against using it alone, because of its length and the sharp bend at the bottom of its longest descent. A key to the elevator can be borrowed from reception. To access it, go to the end of the 3rd floor, using the smallest ramp. This elevator gives access to the other floors.
