We stayed here on our way to California, and on our way back. Clean and comfortable. If you want a complimentary breakfast, they do NOT provide one, otherwise it lives up to its ratings.

The Imperial was a fun breath of fresh air for our 3-day weekend. What a creative concept. Our room was squeaky clean, which is a big deal to us, but all of the other areas were sparkling as well. We ate at the food court and enjoyed the Dive Bar twice during our weekend, and it was nice to be able to stay on the property and not have to drive anywhere.

This wasn't our first stay here, but because of the location a good memories here we returned. The rooms were exceptionally clean and relatively quiet. Close proximity to many food choices is a major plus.take the 6 minute drive to My Mom's for breakfast, you won't be disappointed. The staff (everyone) are awesome people, friendly,helpful, and knowledgeable. Thx Imperial!

6/10 Good

Old motel with charming renovations. Blackout curtains are needed because the exterior lighting is like the state fair. It's like trying to sleep during the day. Noisy due to location. Convenient to hospitals with interesting choices for food.

Love this hotel - stayed here twice on a SW road trip. Comfortable beds. Quiet. Within easy walking distance to food options and a brewery, along with an on-location bar and food options. Staff is super friendly. Great value and a better experience over cookie-cutter big box hotels.

Cool restored boutique motel on the old Route 66. Clean and comfy rooms. A little noisy on Central at night but A/C units will drown out the noise. Eateries and bar next to the pool. Would stay there again.
