Lovely stay here.

Good location clean comfortable rooms especially the sea view. Great selection for breakfast hot and continental. Staff polite and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Almost great, but faded glory is a better summary. The "king size" bed was actually a 5' wide "queen", and of a bouncy trampoline design that dates back a few decades. The breakfast buffet lacked modern coffee selections -- just a decent large pre-brewed spout for it -- and had no chopped fruit etc. Adequate yes, great not. Parking was easy. The room required a mix of elevator and stairs to access, or just purely stairs. Lots of hard materials and doors that noisily slam, instead of the sound absorbing materials and soft close mechanisms from the last century. Still, with noise-cancelling headphones worn, it was quiet and we had a decent sleep. Dinner in the hotel restaurant was decent again, and priced reasonably. Good location across a road from the waterfront.

Breakfast was excellent. The dinner menu is limited which is difficult if you have allergies. Staff always helpful. Room with a sea view was as promised.

Yes excellent breakfasts

A little tired but clean. Breakfast was good.

The bedroom is dated, the bathroom is small, dark and dated. Clean The staff couldn’t be more helpful

Good breakfast selection, staff very friendly and welcoming. Nice size bath and good sea view, excellent parking!

Had a lovely short break at The Imperial Hotel. It's a lovely old hotel, which is a little tired in places, but is otherwise well looked after. Room was spacious and had everything I needed - wifi worked perfectly, allowing me to get some work done. Could do with a new mattress in the room I was in and the pillows were too soft for me, but that is a personal preference. I found all the staff to be wonderful and friendly, and the service and food in the restaurant was excellent. The location is perfect and I would definitely recommend a sea-view room for the best experience - I had a room looking at the back so missed this, but there were no front rooms available when I booked. Car parking is plentiful and well priced - once parked I never moved until I left as I walked or got the train to get around. I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent

Lovely friendly staff, spacious room which was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was lovely with lots of options and it was in a great location. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing location lovely hotel

Excellent location with a sea view, with a good selection for breakfast.

Wonderful spot overlooking the sea across well manicured front gardens. Ideally placed to promenade. Rooms front facing with a balcony are best

We had a wonderful stay in this property. Fantastic location right on the seafront - we had a sea view from our spacious family room. We needed to check in very late and we contacted the hotel to make sure this wasn’t a problem - the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly and our late check in was not an issue. Good range of choice for breakfast - cereals, fruit, yogurt, croissants and pastries, meats and cheese plus a hot buffet. We have only given 4 stars for the property condition as the outside could do with a lick of paint. However, this is not a major issue and in no way affected our stay. We would recommend this hotel to other guests and would definitely stay again.

Great value. Good location. Clean. Helpful and friendly staff. Lovely outdoor terrace overlooking hotel grounds and views to the beach and beyond on sunny days. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Good breakfast, clean room, lovely gardens, staff very helpful

Room good but dated, knew what to expect because I’ve stayed a couple of times before. Good value for money

the stay was as expected very good

We were extremely disappointed having paid $600 for a 2 night stay in what was described as a superior sea view room. There was nothing superior about the room, the decor was tired, holes had been filled in the wall and had not been sanded and repainted. The wind whistled through the window. The water was not replenished on the 2nd day. Some of the staff were disinterested. The lift only services part of the hotel so you may have to carry luggage a few flights of stairs. The breakfast was nice was unfortunately is the only positive thing I can say. I stay in hotels a lot and this was the most disappointed I have been in a long time. I would not recommend staying here.
