limited channelsuncomfortable bed
The TV had limited channels. I had difficulty finding something to watch. I also discovered that the source button was not functional, so my Fire Stick was not usable. It was disappointing because I had planned to relax with some shows in the evening. The bed and pillows also were uncomfortable which resulted in sore back.
