A colleague and I had the unfortunate luck to stay here for a work conference. The hotel is very dated. The whole place stank, the downstairs bar smelt of mens urine. I did not have anything hot to eat from this hotel when we stayed there as my friend was ill soon after we had eaten from the buffett lunch... More

The hotel may look nice on the outside and in the lounge but the rooms are terrible. They are not child friendly at all. There was wires hanging down, cracks all over the place, stains on the bed sheets an carpet and it smelt terrible. The breakfast tasted horrid and looked like a load of slop that was half cooked....

Not welcoming at reception and again when leaving completely disinterested. So not the best of starts. The hotel is very tired and needs serious refurbishing. The room was ok but I have to say the Hilton up the road is better and their staff are lovely and friendly. I was foolish because I thought this would be the better of... More

I stayed at the hotel whilst attending a band contest at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool and found the hotel to be far superior to any hotel in Blackpool that I had previously stayed in. The staff were incredibly friendly, the hotel was clean and tidy, and excellent value for money. A real bonus was the excellent selection of single... More

Visited on business mid week. Reception staff disinterested at check in. Bedroom and bathroom both small and dark. Damp around the window frame and glazing. Wardrobe door hinges broken. No iron. No hotel information pack. Décor very tired. According to reception staff all standard rooms are of the same quality as 342 - their only interest was in selling an... More

I stayed at the Imperial recently. It's a gorgeous and very grand hotel and has loads of character. The public rooms are very grand and make you feel very comfortable. They need decorating to restore them to their full beauty, but are nonetheless spectacular. Bedrooms are roomy and have great character. It's nice to be able to have unique rooms... More
