Awesome hotel with an excellent location and amazing hotel staff! We extended our stay by one day as there is lots to enjoy in the area. The Imperial was impeccably clean, professional and friendly. It is also a beautiful hotel. Both the restaurant & the bar had fabulous, reasonably priced drinks & food. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
