Hotel is in a great location. Staff is top notch...helpful, friendly, professional, accommodating. Rooms are totally serviceable, but could use a bit of refresh. Every request, every need was met with fast, efficient response. Dining room breakfast staff was top notch, also. Highest praise and recognition to Sergi who was "the best". She was so friendly, and helpful. Brought good cheer and "sunshine" to the breakfast room. Shout out also to Yusuf. Definitely would stay at Ottoman Hotel Imperial again
