pleasant stafflow shower flowcramped room
The staff seemed pleasant enough. I guess that's something.
The television offered a single channel. bbc1. and talk radio. That's it. also, the shower's water pressure was barely there, so rinsing shampoo became a test of patience. the room felt cramped. too.

the room was small the shower had low pressure I could only watch one tv channel bbc1 and listen to talk radio. I expected a wider selection of channels especially since I wanted to relax in the evenings. The limited entertainment options were disappointing after a long day.

The room size was really small (almost claustrophobic!). also, the shower had terrible water pressure, barely a trickle. only one tv channel worked. It was frustrating. at least i could listen to talk radio, i guess, if i wanted to.
