Imperial

Accommodation is pub style above the bar and band area. Noise from below reverberates up to rooms. Probably fine on a weekday but was impossible to sleep until the band stopped on a Friday night. We booked and paid extra for a room that had a private bathroom, only to find the bathroom was just a bathroom sink. The toilets and showers were still shared with other rooms. Luckily there was only one or two other guests so it was almost like a private bathroom, but misrepresenting in the ad. Lighting on the corridors was poor and we couldn't find the light switch. Another guest found a lamp that she turned on. The ceiling lights not working is dangerous in an emergency and the lamp isn't obvious. I also managed to lock myself in the shower. The men's shower door locks but does not unlock. So I had to brute force the door open. Lucky I was not a kid or an old-timer as they would have been in trouble. That's also dangerous. However, staff were nice and accommodating. And the facilities were relatively clean. And it was cheap. And breakfast was provided ( bread, cereal, juice, tea, coffee) so no complaints there.
