We have stayed at the imperial 3 times now, love the grandeur of the hotel and can imagine it was the best hotel in Blackpool when it was built. It still has a special feel about it, it is opposite the tram stop or easy ten minute stroll into the town centre, nice size rooms and bathrooms, pleasant bar area and with drinks packages that make it very competitive, first time we stayed there was no evening entertainment but last couple of times there has been a singer and bingo if you want it, plenty of parking which is chargeable but it’s handy and safe with cctv we really enjoy the breakfast menu, never tried the evening restaurant but have had a bar meal which has been good and excellent value, normally use the imperial if we are seeing a show at the winter gardens etc because it’s a good standard and competitive priced, always found hotel staff very pleasant and obliging as well, it’s now our go too hotel when we stay in Blackpool
