Hello,
We have stayed one night at this hotel on our way to Lancaster. I have to say that it is really good hotel for the bargain price! We paid normal price for the room and the breakfast was included. The breakfast was served not buffet because of COVID, but it was full breakfast without compromises.
The room was spacious and clean, very fresh and cosy. The barthoom had a bath tub not just shower cabin like in other hotels.
The hotel is just across the road of the bus station, but we didn't hear any noises and slept well till the alarm went on wakeing us for the breakfast.
The staff was friendly and helpful. So I do recommend this hotel for the short breaks.
Best regards,
Rustam.

Hotel was clean, rooms were clean. Breakfast was slow being served and wasn't the best. Bar service was slow and they ran out of alcohol. Staff were helpful when asked although not enough staff at bar and restaurant area

I stay in chain hotels all year round and this is the best one I've ever stayed in. Spacious with a huge bed, a bathroom with an oversized bath. Very well equipped and the food and service was perfect. 10/10

Nice place. Not too far to walk from the train station. Very friendly and pleasant reception. Odd times, but nice warm welcome

Nice clean room and friendly staff. Most staff follow the Covid rules, however one staff member delivered a heater to my room with the mask around her neck. Also, the desert part of my meal on the second night of my stay was delivered uncovered. It's a long journey from the kitchen including a ride on the lift, so who knows what could have happened to it. This and the current worsening Covid situation caused me to cut short my intended 4 nights stay. If only some of the staff are following the Covid rules its just not worth the risk. Also the chicken & mushroom pie only contained 4 possibly 5 small pieces of chicken and not the 'filled with chicken' as promised on the menu.

The hotel itself is very clean but parking is extremely limited and I had to park across the road at the multi-story car park above the bus terminal. Food was good and staff were helpful but seemed a little rushed as there was only two of them.

We were put there by the RAC when the clutch went in our car. We didn't arrive until around 2am and the staff were amazing. They couldn't do enough for us, making sure we had plenty of tea/coffee and even giving us biscuits for the girls in case they were hungry. I couldn't praise them highly enough

With the latest restrictions obviously some things have changed but with clean rooms, super friendly staff and an exceptional breakfast; what more could a traveller want?

Hotel stays can be rather soulless at the moment and sometimes you feel you'd rather have not bothered. Not so here, where there is a warm welcome and a genuine desire to ensure the guests enjoys their stay.

As I've visited a few times before, its easy to see it isn't quite the same as it was, but with some thoughtful touches and the bonus of a freshly cooked room service breakfast, it is still a nice place to be.

Well done Holiday Inn Preston, and hope you're back to normal again soon.

Stayed for business.
Katherine on reception made the reservation for me and was professional and efficient.
The food and breakfast’s were lovely , thanks to Lorraine for all your help at breakfast.
The hotel is modern, clean, has free parking and is in a great location.
Rooms are spacious and have everything in there for the business traveller.
All the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Big thanks to Gary for looking after my bag and made checkout easy and straightforward.
It was great to see all the staff adhering to COVID guidelines and I felt reassured they had taken the necessary steps to make the hotel a safe place to stay and had obviously worked hard to achieve this.

My wife, son and parents all had a wonderful stay here when visiting Blackpool. My bedroom was an accessible room as we had our 3 year old son with us and there was a pull-out bed for him which was perfect. Given that it was an accessible room it was smartly designed to feel although you were just in an Executive bedroom.
The size was great and spotlessly clean. My parents just had a standard double bedroom which was slightly small but it served a purpose for sleeping and showering. Exactly what they needed and well appointed and clean like my bedroom.

We didn't eat in the Restaurant other than breakfast and only had a few drinks from the bar. The service we received was as expected.

Parking is very limited - there's a multi-story across the road though.

I'd definitely return.

Having just returned home to N. Ireland after staying there from 7th to 10th Sept. I have the following to report. Was greeted on the 1st floor were the reception is located. I was welcomed by Georgia who also welcomed me as a IGH member. Her induction into the hotel was excellent. She was also had an excellent response to some technically diffulties to our room and immediately rectifying them whilst not inconvenience us in anyway. She also handled our checkout efficiently and answering my questions on my next stay regarding a room with a walk in shower. The receptionist Dina was excellent and had a good company of local knowledge and directions as regards to restaurants and shops. Dina had written a list of restaurants and the type of cuisine they had to offer. They were all excellent choices. Katherine we meant was also excellent and was able to give us advice with the university and places to stay for our grand daughter who we brought over to start her course next week. These girls are definitely an asset to the hotel. Lastly Lee the waiter in the bar to which we frequently was very friendly and very efficient in his job. He gave us place of interest to visit as far a field as Halifax to see where the series Gentleman Jack was filmed and also Hadrian's Wall. He provided us with post codes of these attraction to make them easier to find. We ate in the restaurant along with our grand daughter to which the food and service was excellent. Only drawback was the limited parking spaces but the staff direct you to a reasonably price car park. There are 2 disables spaces in the hotel which I was able to use with my card but I observed on 2voccasion that a large pickup truck use one of the spaces. I hope the management would be able to resolve this problem should another disabled person would wish to use it. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again when we return to visit our grand daughter at a later date.
