Overall the hotel stay was as average as you get. I was not terribly impressed. The Imperial was very good as far as a breakfast accommodation but the added to the room for it was almost the same price as walk in dining so that gets a “meh” as well. The room was a bit small and cramped, the tub didn’t drain right, the mini fridge wasn’t cold, and the coffee in the room for two had 1 cup and three decaf kcups. Any one of these things is not a big deal but together it adds up to a very unimpressive stay that’s slightly overpriced for what you get. I wouldn’t NOT stay there again, but I’ll definitely seek alternatives next trip to Lancaster before going with the again.

I am a platinum member, the clerk did not great me, did not offer water or any upgrades. The local drug dealer was sitting out side the front entrance. The restaurant staff ignored us. I will never return.

Not the best hotel
This stay was part of a longer business trip. We stayed in 2 other holiday inns during this trip and this particular one was horrible compared to our other stays. I will say the location is excellent. The room was run down, air conditioner was not working right, when asked if we could move rooms because of the noise level from neighbors we were denied, there was an issue with our breakfast tickets and we need a printed receipt for work and we are still having trouble getting it. We travel to Lancaster for work multiple times a year and we will never stay here again.

We received very poor service at the Imperial Restaurant, specifically from the bar tender. He was polite, however, the drinks were made poorly, incorrectly, and one (a simple vodva martini) tasted like something other than vodka was in it. He also made a couple of drinks at a time for my party of eight, and then woul make drinks for other people, and then came back to finishing our order - this happened a few times so it took 15-20 minutes before we all had a drink.
