Upgrade was a definite downgrade

I booked a superior room after seeing the photos on line and was looking forward to our 2 night stay, yet on arrival were given a significantly smaller basic room, after being told we had been given a free upgrade so i was thinking SUITE! So it was really disappointing, after enquiring why our upgrade was a downgrade, we were eventually moved to a slightly bigger room, but not what i thought id booked. Staff were fine, bar was decent, bedrooms are a little tired.Photos definitely misleading!

3 night stay March 17th -20th 2025

I booked a Superior Twin room with a sea view but I wasn’t impressed with the room one bit. I’m not sure what was superior about it. I have previously stayed in a superior double here before and it was noticeable superior so I can only assume I was given a standard room. The doors to the rooms are a bit clunky and I could hear other doors closing, and I could also hear dogs barking in nearby rooms - and I can’t believe the hotel would allow dogs in a Superior Room. In fact there seemed to be several dogs in the hotel including a couple of large mountain dogs, and there were two dog water bowls in the bar area - which I found totally unacceptable. Breakfast was okay but I’ve previously stayed in 4 other hotels in Exmouth which all served a nicer, and freshly cooked breakfast, so by contrast the Imperial Hotel breakfast is bottom of the list. The hotel bar didn’t seem to have any decent ales on offer so I didn’t use it. The garden and sea views are nice, and the car park is a plus, but parking is £6 per night. The assessable lift was out of order for the duration of our visit.

Overall a good property just a little tired but only needs a bit of updating . Such as a new and more modern mirror in the bathroom of our room. And the veranda in that room needs tiling.

Excellent value stay. However the room decor was very tired and in much need of a refurb. TV very small, but the shower and bed although basic, were very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good value too. On-site parking was convenient, with plenty of space. Location was brilliant, with the sea front only approx. 100m away and the town only approx. 200m - so perfect.
