We had a lovely stay at the Imperial. It is close to everything Blackpool has to offer and clean.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent, food well cooked and served hot. Good choices available. The room was fine, roomy but the furniture was very tired. The bed was comfortable although a little too soft for me personally. The evening food was very nice. Good choices and cooked beautifully.a

Cons:

A better view but in the end it is only a view and a clean room is the main requirement.

Pros:

Breakfast.

Cons:

I don't really want to waste anymore time on this property... The housekeeping really needs an overhaul... Front desk desperately short staffed, as having to deal with many
people's disappointments ...
