Tenby trip
I had a fantastic stay at the Imperial hotel. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. I asked about the scaffolding being put up at the hotel and whether it would be covering the window in my room. They found out that it would and offered me a room on the other side of the hotel. I also questioned about the heating which they think maybe the builders knocked something but were glad that I let them know. The hotel is a bit tired but it is comfortable and in a great location on the cliff top. It is being gradually refurbished and will be fabulous once complete

Very tired property, black mould in shower, water had no pressure for a shower and couldn't get hot. No hand soap in rooms, windows dirty. They also have works going on and scaffolding was being erected before 9am on a sunday, very noisy

Fantastic view with the best room in architecturally significant hotel. All this outweighed the relatively dismal state of the public areas and the sub-Britannia breakfast. Once things have improved under the new ownership this will be a goldmine for staff and owners.
