Holiday Inn Preston
Latest Reviews
The bedroom and bathroom were cramped, although the beds were comfy. Lighting was better than usual (maybe as the room was smaller!). Food in the restaurant was poor and in consequence we only ate there on the first night. Breakfast also could have been much better (e.g. hard eggs, no skimmed milk,, sour fruits of the forest) and little choice. The porridge was good and there were plenty of bananas for a change!. The decor in the restaurant looks very dated, then you realise (if you think about it) that the restaurant is called nineteen 75. If this is meant to be the theme it needs to be made more obvious. There is a lovely picture on one of the floors of three red telephone boxes. Why not in the restaurant? Maybe some posters of events in 1970 or history information with photographs. Why not 70’s music instead of the ghastly stuff we had to listen to? The i newspapers were available from reception but not delivered to the room for members. No other papers. Parking available but not a lot of it; we got the last space. (Not sure where you go if it is full). Only one lift working and that not very reliable. Staff were mostly very pleasant and helpful. The place was clean and tidy and paintwork was in the process of being renewed.

check in was very good , nice size room ,shower was powerful but over the bath tub ,i think the hotel should look in wet room birthroom or low floor shower for disabled people like me, evening was not me ,but they pubs in very area ff,near the hotel ,but breakfast help yourself to everything expert coffee which was serverd to your table by staff. lift from ground floor taken out of use after 10.00pm until 7.00am so you have to walk upstairs to level one and the lift would then work ,but this hard to do if disabled , the bar is a little expense ,so i took a few cans from supermarket and drink in the room

I stayed here on a cold wet winters night. There is parking on site but it is very limited -I'd recommend just parking in the multi storey next door at the bus station.
The staff were friendly, the hotel is clean and fresh and the decor modern. My room was small but perfectly serviceable. Room service was very good indeed. In the morning I discovered I had a wonderful view across the city out of my window too! Breakfast was standard HI fare, which is always to a good standard. Definitely recommended.

We needed a convenient, clean and easy-to-reach place for one night. It was easy to book. Room was very comfortable and we slept well. The nearby traffic didn't cause a lot of noise, to our surprise!
We were able to walk to the hotel from the station and it was easy to go into town for shopping.

Good location however the bed was too soft causing back ache
The car park is very small lucky that we found a space on the first day and didn't need the car till we left.The location was fine as it is only a short walk to the centre.If you are a light sleeper you will hear constant road noise and in our case more than one blue light siren.in the bar after hours we had a quick night cap and had to face a few drinks that every other word had the "f" not what you need to hear after an enjoyable night.

I know this Holiday Inn from days of old, and the work they are carrying out to refresh the rooms and public areas is definitely starting to pay off. Our first room didn't have a properly working toilet, but this was quickly sorted by the reception staff. The second room was cosy and clean, well up to normal Holiday Inn standards. The bar staff provided excellent service in the evening but the real surprise was the quality of breakfast. This was freshly prepared to order and utterly magnificent, using great ingredients to deliver a real morning feast. I didn't need to eat until the evening it was that good! Overall a hotel that is improving fast, backed by committed staff who want to make your stay enjoyable. The Holiday Inn may be part of a big chain and deliver that rather uniform experience, but it is what it is, and no worse for that.

Ideal for visits to the city centre. Car parking is limited although it's right next to the bus station multistorey carpark. Room was clean and comfortable, good for a business stay. Bar was nice and breakfast well stocked with lots of choice.

Stayed here a few times over the years. Good points: Decent location. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Bad points: Rooms seem to be getting smaller every stay (maybe it's the room I am given, but it was significantly smaller than my last few stays). Random churning noise coming from the bathroom every hour - not sure what it was. Was too lazy to complain about it. Overall the hotel is decent, but could do with some improvements to the rooms.
