1. The sleeping room was more than satisfactory: very good furnishings and window treatments, comfortable bed, and the newly remodeled bathroom was luxurious, with separate bath and shower areas, bidet, and excellent soaps/amenities.

4. the shower curtain was old, and cheap (out of place for the marble bathroom), the shower was low flow so I never really felt like it did anything (Seinfeld anyone?), the room still seemed to have its original fixtures from 1912 (doors and chandelier).
