Wonderful staff. Our deluxe sea view rooms on 4th floor had beautiful views. We requested rooms where pets were not allowed due to my uni student teenage daughter's allergies. She arrived with red, itchy face and her face improved significantly during our 4 day stay, so they clearly obliged. Furthermore we were put in interconnected rooms and this really made our stay - connected via corridor. All staff were very friendly from the young chap on reception to the breakfast and spa staff. The pool water was amazingly warm, which meant we were happy to enjoy it everyday as well as the jacuzzi. We loved the breakfast and views - lovely atmosphere. Yes the hotel rooms could do with refurbishment, but we knew that prior to arrival and it did not bother us, as everything in the room worked well and room was well stocked with water (still and sparkling), tea, coffee and nice toiletries. Toiletries bottles were large and good quality, which I appreciated as after using the pool many times I needed cream to hydrate. Normally in hotels I only use my own toiletries. Rooms were very spacious and comfy. Lovely warm room temperature - one could hardly believe how cold it was outside. The only thing was little low water pressure in the shower, but we sometimes experience that in our own house. Hotel is very quick walk from town the centre and very convenient to eat out/shop. The lobby entrance is lovely. Big thanks for unexpectedly wonderful stay.

Sadly, we left feeing a little disappointed. The communal areas (entrance floor) are all as per photos - beautiful and immaculately kept. The rooms are tired. Very tired and dated, generally cleanliness ok however I wouldn’t class The Imperial as the same as 90pc of the four star hotels I’ve visited. The “spa” has a reasonable pool ok hot tub and good saunas with nice staff but again the photos are overtly generous. We visited in February the occupancy was particularly low and some consideration for the parking rate and free room upgrades would go some way to improving the customer experience for such a dated property. We try and preference independents over the chain hotels in the UK but if we were to visit the area again I would be booking one and earning loyalty points in preference.
