1. Negatives:No coffee maker in the room, the bathroom is wicked small and doesn't have a fan, our view was awful, and the positioning of the TV was odd (to the right of the bed in the corner), horrible cell reception (with AT&T).

10. Based on the high volume of reviews, which ran the full gamut from great to horrible, I probably didn't have exceptionally high expectations, but I was looking forward to visiting this very historic hotel.
