It was ideal for visiting family nearby. Hotel was cleaner than many (the room even smelt of cleaning product) and the staff were unusually fantastic. Room and lift were a little tight to get a wheelchair into and needed a second person to help with reversing. There was no aircon in the room, unfortunately, and the heating unit refused to stay at a temperature lower than 22º, which made it uncomfortably toasty. It was lovely to have a table and chairs to eat at - go around to the Mauritian place on Caversham Road if you want awesome food (they also do breakfast) and we got to see a red kite from the window. There's a shower rather than a bath in the ensuite, which may be easier to use but the bed is impossibly high but very comfortable. There are plug points next to the bed, handy for chargers. The headboard is fabric and already starting to smell dusty, bear this in mind if you have asthma or allergies. Unusually a menu of breakfast items was provided in the room but the vegetarian/vegan breakfast items are all soya-based.
