Imperial Hotel Singleton

Stayed here for 3 nights (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) a couple of weeks ago. This hotel has an interesting history Built in 1881 it was known as The Commercial Family hotel. 1n 1897 the new licensee changed the name to Imperial hotel. In 1976 it sold to new owners for $200,000 It sold again in 2022 for $18.5 million. When I booked i requested a quiet room. I was given room #10 which was at the end of the meandering hallyway,far from men's toilets and kitchen area. Friday night there was a band and the bar opened until 3am. I could swear that my room was directly above where they were playing and the music was loud Next to my room door was the fire/ after hours entry which was also popular with the smokers and the door would bang everytime time it was used. At around 6:30am Saturday morning the evacuation alarm sounded, I think someone was smoking in their room as the corridor smelt of cigarettes. The room itself was basic but the bed ,pillows etc were very comfortable There was a TV, fridge, tea coffee facilities, ceiling fan and aircon. The windows were screwed shut. Male bathrooms clean and looked fairly new. Kitchen area was a bonus It had a large fridge with freezer, microwave and air frier Personally I just found the upstairs accommodation area very dark and in my case noisey Proximity to shops etc is good and walking distance I doubt that I'd stay here again
