Spent three days at this hotel. We had a good view of the seafront from our room. The room was clean &well laid out. Only a short walk to town & the train station. We ate a couple of times at the hotel. Well worth the money for those 3 days.

A let down this time

Have stopped at the imperial 5 times in last 2 and half years and always found it great value for money, not this time dogs rates have gone up from £10 a dog per night to £20 cleaning has been scaled down use to make rooms up every day now every other day rooms weren't even hoovered properly and by looks of sheets they were never changed in the week we were there. On a plus side the staff are friendly and very helpful. The place does need a bit of modernisation

Great location

Only spent one night here but found the room clean and comfortable. We were lucky to arrive in time for a beautiful sunset and walk along the seafront. (Can highly recommend Heydays for dinner)

We have been going to The Imperial for over 20 years and seen many changes. Its an old building but well kept and comfortable. The grounds are well kept but will never be "beautiful". It suits us and we hope to be able to return for a few more years.

We liked the size of the room and the beds were very comfortable. The food was very nice. We liked the outdoor space for our dog. The room was nice and clean. We didn't like having the shower over the bath as one of us is disabled and had difficulty getting into the bath to have a shower. The toilet was stained. The curtain linings were torn. We were surprised at having to pay car parking fees. We found the front steps were difficult to manage for a disabled person.

Cleanliness ok Didn't like breakfast buffet and for a hotel that size and grandeur you would expect waitress service and tablecloths. Bed very uncomfortable and felt like springs coming through mattress. Grounds excellent upkeep.
