Oh yes, know this group well Willow, none of the Imperial hotels are that brilliant .. all seem to need refurbising. They do not appear to have any buying policy and will buy mitchmatches of items 'cause they are cheap.

Coincidentally .. one of my work colleagues stayed here on a trip to London with her two young children couple of weeks ago, and had a similar experience as yourself. She just said was dreadful e.g. no double glazing and was extremely noisy, the radiator wouldn't turn off and room too hot, only one pillow provided which felt like it was filled with bricks, was an issue at reception, rubbish furnishings, never seen her so angry .. can't remember all the others things, will ask her when get back to work. The only plus side is that is near the tube ..and easy access to the main sights. She was booked for 3 nights and, like you, would not enter the place again. Yes, she said the same as you about the foreigners .. whatever must they have thought... mind you, most London hotels have mainly foreign guests.

Shame really, because the man who is the main owner is absolutely lovely .. a millionaire I think .. well, not surprised !!
