spacious room comfy bed awesome location stair access limited channel video issue

My room was very spacious. The beds were also very comfy! The location was awesome.

The room was up two flights of stairs. There was no lift. I struggle walking, so this was a challenge. I found the TV channel selection limited. Netflix and Prime Video also did not work.
