Some great advice here already, so I’ll just echo what Nicola mentioned about the bath/shower being a unit and therefore requiring stepping up over the side of the tub to get in to use the shower. While I don’t officially recommend it, they often have a drain on the outside of the tub as well, so you could – carefully – shower there too in a pinch.
Since you mentioned you can walk a bit, it likely won’t be an issue, but some hotels will have a step into the toilet/bath area. A friend who can normally use a non-accessible room even though he cannot walk was very surprised by that and couldn’t use the bath.
While they are not mid-level, Toyoko Inn has hundreds of hotels by stations and they have accessible rooms that are fairly good and quite cheap.
