Disliked: Amenities
Room was not as advertised in the photos. Very tired room and furniture. Bed wasn’t very comfortable at all. There was only a Soap dispenser by sink and shower. No other items provided (shampoo, conditioner, lotion) as expected in a hotel. Car park view was disappointing. We booked room only so can’t comment on breakfast. Decided not to frequent the bar or restaurant. There’s a £6 per night charge for parking. I only met the person at reception, who appears quite fed up.

The imperial was a hotel is a hotel of character so lacking these days in modern hotels We enjoyed our stay. The magnificent breakfast/ dining room must have seen so comings and goings over the years. . The food was great the bed comfortable .The building was eccentric, if you have difficulty with steps you should let the hotel know although my78 year old husband had no trouble . We booked a room without a sea view but maybe next time .... The hotel is just off the sea front . We walked to the far end of the prom and then the other way into the marina then before leaving we had a walk into the centre of town all easy to do without moving the car

First room smelled of urine and so asked to be moved. Second rooms mattress was a few decades old and had a significant dip in the middle. I was moved AGAIN finally to a decent mattress. However, the lock had a part missing which made me feel unsafe. I slept with a suitcase against the door. U was surprised that the hotel didn’t even offer anything complimentary for the total inconvenience of moving TWICE!
