The Imperial Hotel

I booked Friday 24 & Saturday 25th May to attend a 60th birthday party on the Saturday night. Returning to the hotel after dinner on the Friday night I was kept awake until 11pm by pub patrons drunkenly yelling in the yard at the rear of the hotel, adjacent to my room. I was told when I checked in I was told that there was a music event to be held on Saturday afternoon, also in the yard. Hoping for a nap after lunch before the evening’s party was impossible - a crowd of hundreds with thumping rock music from 1-7pm. Then awoken at 6am on Sunday morning by the crew dismantling the stage & marquees. Had the hotel advised me that the venue had live music until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays and had a scheduled live music event on the Saturday, I would never have booked the hotel. And it wasn’t cheap - $353 for two nights. The owners need to decide if they are running an accommodation facility or a music venue. If you want to get a decent night’s sleep, stay elsewhere.

Well I booked a room but then I couldn’t go due to reasons out of my control. This hotel decided to not refund any of the booking or talk to me about it. When cost of living is an issue this hotel doesn’t show any empathy or understanding.

Very nice large rooms, beautifully renovated ensuites and a cool pub downstairs with great food and service. A real gem of a place to stay for a short overnighter.

TV in the room was in an awkward position to watch Not easy to get to a car park Had to find a park in the street until hotels patrons left the car park No specific parking for paying Guests

The property was very clean, the room was nice and comfortable, and the food/drinks downstairs at the pub were great and reasonably priced! Will definitely go back and stay again!

What a little gem. A newly renovated and stylish pub and rooms. The late night clientele are a little rusty but the accomodation is great. Staff were a little unsophisticated but friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend this place especially for the price!!

The food at the restaurant was great. Just remember it's a pub downstairs. I hadn't anticipated how noisy it would be staying upstairs from the live music that was playing in the bar. At checkin I was told this noise would stop at 11pm, and it did - after which it was perfectly silent.

The newly renovated rooms were very nice, great pub too!

4 Lamb shanks at a table of seven for dinner and we couldn’t be happier. Lovely flavour, perfect size, greens cooked perfectly. We will be back. Worth the drive from the Gold Coast. Sunday sess music was a tad loud but finished about 6.30pm. Great country atmosphere beats Gold Coast pretensions any day!
