Truly crummy place

This place had it's heyday many years ago. While I was there I saw better people come on board but the staff stole and lied and didn't care generally. I found it to be a truly dangerous place in need of new ownership. Don't Stay Here!!!

Need renovation

First we were assinged a room that was really small and a little bit dirty. But we had "Luck" that the shower was not working and they couldn't fix it so we were moved to another room which was bigger and cleaner. It is ok if you will be out of the hotel for most of the time because the installations are clean and it is secure. But it does need some reworks, also the bed was not that good so i couldn't sleep well.

Great value for money

We were pleasantly surprised with a hotel. Room were clean and tidy, with little kitchen, air-conditioning, numerous wardrobes and a safe. You can use wi-fi (not included in the price) in a room or PC in the entrance hall. The hotel is situated 2 min. walking from a subway and 3 min. from local shops and there are also restaurants and take aways around. Would definitelly come again.

Value the Price

The hotel has a good and safety location, is very close to the subway and has some restaurants, stores and supermarkets near around. The hotel is kind of old but the facilities were ok. It values the price that you are paying for, as NY is not a cheap city. I would recommend if you are really interested in knowing NY and not the hotel. Dont expect that the hotel facilities are new, because it is old. Erica

Buy the Metrocard, it really values it if you are staying some days. Also think in gettting a NYC City Pass, if you are interested in some of the atrractions listed.

You get what you pay for

Not a bad location, but the quality of the room was disappointing, the cleaning crew clearly did not vacuum on a daily basis, and the hallway on the 9th floor smelled so foul that I actually bought febreeze to spray every night I came back to the room. I would stay there again if the price were about a third of what I paid.

Nice, clean room and great location

Hotel Imperial is just 2 blocks from subway station, 10 minutes to Times Square. You can shop for food and drinks around. Very nice and clean room, comparing to other low budget hotels in Manhattan. Helpful staff. I only missed free wifi, you have to pay for your internet connection at Imperial Court

My 2nd stay at this Hotel in two years,

Keyless door entry system failed on two separate occasions leaving me locked out of my room late at night for extended period(1+ hours). Couldn't access presciption, lavatory or any water. Company who manufactered locks is being sued because a large magnet can bypass the lock. See NY Times this past week. No compensation was forthcomming for my troubles. Desk clerk declined to personally assist me. After complaining about this issue I returned another evening to find my door ajar. Apparantly housekeeper failed to secure my door after making bed. She did however remember to leave an envelope for me to deposit gratuity. One more thing, the hairdryer heater in bathroom was defective, it kept on tripping breaker.No way to warm up after a shower. BBrrrrrrr. You want it fixed when? Never right now when I need it. Previous stay was no better. I paid extra to have a private bathroom but noisy neighbors and buzzing whirling refrigerator robbed me of needed sleep. In comparison the Howard Johnson out in Roanoke Va adjacent to airport has quieter rooms 3 times the size at a third the cost of Imperiel Court with amenities that actually worked. Whats Imperiel about the Imperiel hotel? Had I not needed to be close to reletive I would have gone elsewhere.
