We have stayed at The Imperial before as it is lovely. On arrival the staff at the Imperial Hotel are warm & welcoming. All areas are clean. Our room was clean & spacious with a comfy king size bed & coffee, tea & biscuits. The bathroom was also a good size with complimentary shampoo & soap. Entertainment was included in the price. Breakfast was a buffet breakfast & was of a good standard with lots of choice. We'll definitely be back again in the future x

I like this kind of hotel. Every corner is rich with history. You can almost picture the great and the good going about their business here when Blackpool was an upcoming destination. That glory is now faded, mainly because Blackpool is a dump, but the hotel retains a certain elegance. It was clean, the staff were friendly, the room was spacious. Not sure what else I could have asked for. Will stay again.
