10. It was large and included a large walk-in shower with towel warmer (though the towel warmer was across the bathroom from the shower which didn't make much sense), two large spa-like terry-cloth robes, generous complimentary spa-type toiletries, and a large 'close-up' mirror for applying make-up, etc. (in addition to a regular mirror, of course) Also in the room was a large flat screen TV, refrigerator (w/2 complimentary bottles of water inside), the latest 'Boston' magazine and some nice guides to the area.
