A pleasant overnight stay.
Pros:

Central location. Two beds in the room. Full breakfast included in the price ( cooked breakfast not just a continental).

Cons:

Luckily the bath had a hand grip for use when showering as I found the bath quite hard to negotiate when I was getting in/ out. This is from an older person who does have mobility issues.
