Initially I wasn't sure about staying at the Imperial Hotel (as it's an actual hotel/restaurant/pub), but the accomodation out the back is quiet and convenient. It isn't particularly modern, butwas neat and tidy, and had all we needed. Will likely stay there again.

Air conditioning very hard to control so in the middle of winter the room was always cold. This was the second time we have stayed and have had the same problem with the air conditioning. Toilet paper was not replenished. Probably won’t stay here again.
