Not good lighting when in front of the bathroom mirror.

Not that we didn’t not like it because we understand the point is to relax but would have been nice to have access to televisions in the rooms. Especially when married at first sight is on and one of the guests were watching ABC tv show on the shared tv. But also we get that the idea is to spend time together, be present and relax!! Wasn’t a huge deal but just a thought.
