Great night stay

We had a great 1 night stay at The Imperial Hotel. It was called a cosy room so we were expecting a small room but there was an entrance lobby, bathroom and bedroom. Very comfortable bed and a good location within walking distance of the town

Great stay at the Imperial hotel, amazing views from our huge room, lovely bed and facilities. Bath a little small for taller people. Service from all the staff was great but special mention must go to Kate at reception for really looking after us, and Basia in the restaurant who was brilliant too. We will definitely be back soon.

I awoke on Monday morning to a construction side outside my room. I said I wanted a refund, but the hotel staff were most obliging. They put me in one of their largest suites with sea views and a sitting room. I changed my mind about that refund. I was quite enchanted.

Very disappointed

Reception and main lounge was lovely staff in general were friendly. Breakfast was very good. Room was old chairs were thread bare and no cushion so couldn’t sit in them. No air conditioning but a standing fan, which unfortunately didn’t work. Pillows were practically none existent so thin. Shower broke . We were offered to take ourselves down to the leisure area to use shower there? We refused. Then begrudgingly given a key for another room on our floor just to use that shower but not to actually change rooms? My husband complained to the manager on leaving and was given a refund of about 20% of the bill as an apology.

Not as good as we were expecting

Reminds me of a fading Hollywood star who's still trying to live up to their image from decades ago. The original parts of the building are looking tatty and the 60s outside looks worse. VERY noisy plant room just below our room. Staff are great and the views amazing, but these don't make up for the rest of the experience. 3 star hotel now at best not 4 and it must be so far below it's 5 star hayday.

Room was amazing and really clean location was amazing however a few things really were lacking on our arrival the blonde short haired lady I would guess a manager of sorts ignored us for almost 10 mins when finally acknowledged us my partner said we were there to check in we were met with a very rude not until 3 … I understand check in is at 3 but having spent most of my life in hospitality u should smile and acknowledge guests she did neither very sour faced and rude !!!! No attempt at upselling no apology like I’m sorry the room is not quite ready however we have the bar if u would like a drink or some lunch while u wait nothing like that we had to find it all for ourselves once finding the conservatory was disappointed to see an almost topped stack of papers stapled together although half it the menu as we later realised this was a menu was stapled upside down and the amount of cobwebs around all the window in the conservatory was unnecessary and I can only describe it as dirty this needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency all your staff are amazing with the exception of this 1 lady I would like to make sure the correct blonde haired lady os noted as the 1 wale saw today as we checked out was lovely as it the dark haired lady so we attempted to check in at 1.45 on Friday so hopefully u will be able to see which lady that is I really use lady in the most lose of terms I didn’t want to stay after the way she spoke to us but my partner insisted as it was a birthday supri
