Imperial Hotel

Absolutely brilliant hotel. Room small but very clean, food excellent and always hot, good choice at breakfast. Staff are amazing and go out of their way to help. Good evening entertainment with bingo half way through which is a lot better than the first hour! As far as coach holidays go this hotel is 5* and I am fussy

First time staying at this hotel however we have stayed at 7 other Leisureplex hotels over the last 3 years . Stayed as part of an Alfa Travel Christmas break . The bedroom was a clean and tidy standard Leisureplex one that needed an update/ refurb the wallpaper on the ceiling was peeling off also in areas of the hallways . This is typical of most Leisureplex hotels we have stayed in . Tea and coffee making facilities in the bedroom and a table fan and a bath mat if needed . There was a ledge outside the bedroom window that would benefit from being cleaned of the bird droppings and moss as not very pleasant to look at . The public rooms were clean and tidy . There is only one small lift for the whole of the hotel which has four floors . WiFi not the best , kept dropping in and out . The food was good as was the service in the dining room mainly from Ethan ( who was our main server ) but the staff all worked as a team . Generally staff friendly , pleasant and helpful . Tables not too close together as at other Leisureplex hotels . The entertainment was okay overall , different artist each evening , not really our cup of tea .Leisureplex hotels seem to all be stuck in the same groove with entertainment , singing the same songs from the 50s and 60s . I am in my early 60s so would have appreciated something a bit more up to date . Bingo every night . If it had been light nights /summer I think we would have probably spent the evenings at the Wetherspoons just down the road . Was a bit surprised that on the fancy dress night staff were included in the prize giving , reducing the chances of the guests winning ( we did not enter ) .The fancy dress which was a highlight of the stay i felt it was very rushed . No introductions as to who or what the entrants were and no formal way of deciding who had won eg level of applause . The front of the hotel faces the sea and Is a short stroll to the harbour , over the road from the Landmark theatre . Small general store close by . There is a pay and display car park opposite the hotel . Would not be adverse to staying here again as found it to be one of the better run Leisureplex hotels overall we have stayed in .
