Super loud
This is a beautiful hotel with comfortable beds and lots of room. But the room, at least mine, was located directly above a nightclub. It was unbearably loud until nearly 3 am. Absolutely impossible to sleep. Now, I understand this noise isn’t the hotel’s fault, but it is their fault not to notify guests of the situation prior to booking. They should also keep some ear plugs on hand to give to guests.

Liked: Cleanliness
The building is very old and as such requires constant maintenance. This meant scaffolding by my room's windows and noisy work during my stay. The receptionists are not quite friendly, had to ask multiple times about in-room Internet being out-of-order.

They booked our room right above an event space. Was terribly noisy. Had to make a request for them to drop the partying and music, which all took time.

Our stay at Imperial was excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Particularly Ali and Adrianna and a special thank you to Brenda for our room upgrade! We didn’t mention it, but we are on a 40 day European tour to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Thank You,
