room size and limited tv channels were disappointing

small room limited channels
The room felt quite small, especially with our luggage, it was a bit cramped. i also found the shower pressure to be very weak. It took a while to rinse off soap. the tv only had bbc1 and a talk radio channel, very limiting. i expected more for the price i paid.
