It was used by a company running coach trips. The people were elderly. Why no hearing?
Pros:

The bed was comfy and the breakfast was good. Staff were polite.

Cons:

It was cold. The heating in our room was not on. In the Lounge in the evening it was very chilly; people were sitting with their coats on and others collected blankets from reception. It was dated and in need of refurbishing.
