First impression was a 10/10. We were quickly greeted at the door. The property is super cute! Great amenities. The details and updates do not go unnoticed. Parking is easy and simply. Their toiletries smell great! Our trip was short, so we didn’t get to try the food but we would definitely return when we are back in the area.

Great stay, very happy
What a great little gem! Room was clean, had everything we needed. We didn’t have a chance to try the food hall or bar, but the fact that it’s there right on the property was awesome. We did have a coffee at the little coffee shop and it was very nice. We’d be happy to return again for another stay. It’s also close to so many different places to eat and was near downtown.

The property is so updated and chick! Is in the famous route 66. Imperial Motel thought of providing you with all the confort you need. Parking, laundry, ice, drinking warer dispenser and regular morning brew coffee free. We never stay in motels, but this one is top of the line. Staff are very friendly too. Excellent food choices across the parking. Its really attached to the hotel. Buses are free. 2.5 from Old downtown.

What a gem of a property! My room was charming and spotless. Pleasant lighting, lovely towels and amenities. There is a little gym with a bottle filler, ice maker, and complimentary laundry facilities on the property. All the conveniences. The only downside is the surrounding area. It’s relatively quiet with limited food options within walking distance. I ventured out for a walk and it was dodgy. I was advised by the pub staff to Uber back to the motel. Would recommend driving to restaurants for meals.

Not a bad location but sketchy after dark. No elevator so if you are on the second floor be prepared to carry your stuff up two flights of stairs. Friendly staff. Bed was comfortable.
