If you like shabby sheikh, which I do, then you will, too. The furniture in the room harked from the 1950-60âs in style and they had definitely seen some wear; but everything worked well and it appeared clean, although the fitted bottom sheet was stained and grayish in color. The bed was quite firm, but comfortable. There was no top sheet, but a nice soft blanket for a covering.
I liked the old-fashioned dressing table and stool and used it for storing my jewelry. There was no light nearby, however, so I couldnât use it for make-up. There was a tall stand for hanging short clothes and drawers for unpacking if you are staying more than a night. There was a reading chair and a traditional â50âs low oval coffee table which similar to the one we had when I was a child, which made it very comfortable. No desk for working.
The bathroom was clean with a bucket and pitcher for bathing, as well as a shower head. It is a wet bath and was up two steps from the bedroom itself. The porcelain sink was set in a very small marble counter, but there was a long, narrow shelf for storing oneâs toiletries. I couldnât find the switch for turning on the hot water tank my first night. However, the next morning when I was fresh I found it on the bedroom wall shared with with bathroom sink. It would have been good to have the porter point this out to me when I was initially shown to my room. One just needs to allow for 15-20 minutes for the water to heat and you have plenty.
