Lawrence

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Whilst the outside is impressive the inside is tired and the rooms dated - the restrictions of an old building do not effect the standard of the furniture and decoration. I found the one bar that was open to be understaffed. Another frustration was that it is advertised as having several bars but in fact only had one that was open but I was not warned about this when I booked. The spa is also an additional expense which is not made clear when booking. Convenient, safe and pleasant but too much complacency.

Not for 6 feet or taller business people

It is not.an hotel for 6 ft high people. The tub was very narrow and the shower was very low Difficult to shower. Similarly the bed. For short people. The chairs were old and uncomfortable and did not match the high of the designated dresser as a desk.

Great despite some construction

The Imperial was perfect for our stay, though my friend’s bedding had some stains on it and as the hotel was under construction it was a little rough round the edges but the staff were brilliant and we felt well taken care of.

The only challenge is the Loading/Offloading Area when arriving and departing It is often full and you will hold up traffic if you choose to stop. Otherwise a pleasant accommodation and close to the city centre
