Lovely grand hotel in a quiet location. Conveniently located for visiting the attractions of blackpool, being just a short walk to the North Pier. We wanted a quick bar meal as we had arrived late, but the bar area is small and there was a musician on, so all the tables were taken. Instead we had to find somewhere to eat in town. For a very large hotel, the bar area appeared to be extremely small.

The hotel is tired and is in desperate for a facelift, amazing building the size and style is classic but the actual facilities in particular the bathroom(s) require some investment. Staff were professional, the breakfast was top drawer.

Lovely majestic looking hotel from the outside, but could do with some tlc on the inside. Our bedroom window wouldn't close, and the bathroom window was painted shut! Stair carpets were loose in places. Reception staff were lovely, restaurant staff were a tad unorganised, it was all a bit manic at breakfast time. The food was really good though with plenty of choice. Would stay again.

I had a good stay at the Imperial. There was a bit of a wait to check in, but once it was my turn, Tristan did a great job of making sure everything was right and telling me what I needed to know. My room was a standard room without a sea view. Well maintained and comfortable. There are older reviews about the food not being great. This is no longer the case. Dinner was lovely, with the kitchen doing a great job in producing something attractive and delicious. Breakfast was included. The buffet breakfast was excellent with a wide range of options.

We were put in a room that was a single converted into a double Not what was promised on the Expedia website ,there was a single headboard ,no bedside lighting ,only one I'll fitting bedside cabinet , I used the room bin turned upside down as a bedside cabinet, the room was cool with no form of heating, , the room was no better than a 2 star hotel , I complained to the hotel manager who firmly laid the blame at Expedia , ie book with Expedia and get a rubbish rooms , but the hotel should be embarrassed at putting clients in these rooms
