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
