Not enough power outlets. There are a lack of electrical outlets in the room. The bed table in the room had no electrical outlets. i brought my own power-strip in order to plug in both my phone and my computer at the desk.

Beautiful, but not comfortable
Good and bad. The bed was pretty low quality -- despite the lovely four poster aspect, the mattress was too soft. I have back problems and ended up sleeping on the floor. The water faucet squirted all over the place every time we turned it on, soaking the mirror and counter. We had to request bedding for the pull-out sofa. Once received, the bedding lacked sheets. When I went back to the front desk to let them know, the concierge had walked away and left a phone number. Understandable in such a small hotel, but annoying because now it was late and we had no sheets. One good thing was the small bar/restaurant on the premises. They had a very good jazz trio, and the food was very good, both dinner and the free breakfast in the morning. The hotel was a beautiful building, but they need to work out the kinks.
