Holiday Inn Preston
Latest Reviews
Cheap and fairly central to town, bar and restaurant are pretty good but staff and service excellent. Lots of banging and building work going on Nov 2016 which would have been nice to know prior to booking.

Was here for the day on a course, very easy to find and had free parking even though the car park wasn't huge

The room was fine, if on the small side. It was everything you'd expect from a decent Holiday Inn, but nothing more than that.

Clean and tidy hotel. Simply but nicely furnished, with very good facilities. The staff were helpful and polite. The room was spacious and clean with an excellent bathroom, but it smelt like an ashtray. Good air conditioning. Ideal for an overnight stay.

Situated in the heart of Preston city centre the hotel is handy for shopping, restaurants and nightlife. Our room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. There is free wi-fi and tea/coffee facilities in the room. The staff were very helpful - we had to ask for an extension lead and it was brought to our room within minutes. The breakfast was buffet-style with an excellent choice whether you wanted a continental or a full English breakfast. The service was good. We would definitely stay again.

Stayed recently for a staff Christmas party at the venue. The party was good (free bar) and the room was as expected. The breakfast looked great but I couldn't stomach it!
The location is handy too as it's just a few minutes walk into Preston city centre.
I'd stay here again.

Boom boom boom boom.
I booked a double room
To spend the night together
For now and till forever
I booked for 7 days
Was told could accommodate on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday but apparently you were fully booked on Sunday
I hoped to be living la Vida with a little bit of Rita by my side. But you were fully booked and I was told I was entitled to a rewind and free accommodation in the room with the crazy paving.
Anyway. I arrived and there were sweets (like chocolate) on my pillow and I had no need to 'turn around'.
All in all fantastic stay and I would recommend.

Booked the day before, one of the better Holiday Inns I have stayed in, room very clean and comfortable, staff very helpful & friendly, breakfast excellent, easy check in and out, quiet given the location.

Now I felt lucky to get a side-on view of the remarkable bus station from my window - but maybe not everyone would. There wasn't much on the overpriced bistro menu at the restaurant, but it is a small place that seems tightly managed. Built 15 years ago, the building functions well, with it's reception on the floor above with all the other services like the inevitable over-priced bar. Bed was great. It's a notch up on Premier Inn. Nothing exciting, but cosy and functional.

We found the staff to be extremely polite and helpful. The breakfasts were superb with a great choice all nicely cooked, and sufficiently strong coffee. We had dinner there one night and found that to be really good too. The hotel car park is small but there is large overflow car park 50 yds away which you can park in for free all weekend.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn for a week whilst working in Lancaster. It is situated on the edge of the town next to the bus station. The hotel is a typical Holiday Inn and everything looks the same as the others that I have stayed in. The one twist was the bar manager who was excellent, he managed the bar, took room service calls amongst everything else. By the Wednesday he knew who I was when calling in room service. I also requested something off the menu and he made sure this was correct. Hotel is 3*, service is 5*

Stayed at the hotel on 28th November.
The hotel staff where very good on arrival and helped with me parking my 35ft long car and trailer.
The room was adequate as the hotel seems in places dated.
Due to it being in the city it was obviously noisy.
The great find was the food in the restaurant.
Muscles to start with a hot crusty roll
Beef Stew and Dumplings with veg for main.
The menu looked very very good and all the food I saw looked top draw.
The price £15 for 2 courses.
£20 for 3 courses.
I have probably stayed in about 100+ hotels this year all around the British Isles and Ireland.
By far the best food I have had.
Breakfast also didn't disappoint with a vast array of options.
Decent hotel with great food.

The Holiday Inn is located on a busy ring road and has a very small car-park, but the accommodation is typical of the Holiday Inn chain, and it represents reasonable value for money. The breakfasts are very good value, and the hotel is pretty heavily patronised during weekdays by business people. The staff are attentive and friendly. Good value for a business trip.

Don't ever arrive in Preston in rush hour times, because finding the Holiday Inn in the extremely complex road system they have, makes it almost impossible to find the front entrance,and doesn't help this hotel at all.This city has a major traffic problem, which I can't see anybody finding a solution to it for many years, so I won't stay there again, which is a shame because it's a nice hotel,ruined by too many cars.

Room was clean, was quite small and everything seemed crammed. Average accommodation, personally feel corridors could do with a brighten up. Bar was nice and breakfast had a good selection, great location.

My wife and I stayed here for one night last week to attend a show at the Guildhall. This is no more than a five minute walk away. The room was fine as were the public areas although the car park at the hotel is fairly small. Very friendly reception staff and the breakfast deal at £10 per room (£5 per person for two) is fantastic value. The food was terrific too. We were very happy visitors and the place offers good value for money.

My wife and I had tickets for Shawn Klush at The Guild Hall Preston on Friday. We wanted a hotel within a short walking distance so the Holiday Inn is perfect, about a 10 minute journey.
Check in was swift and friendly, although reception is on the 1st floor. Car park is small but we managed to find a spot. Room was a good size with comfortable king size bed. Very clean and tidy. Bathroom was larger than some hotels with plenty of room around the sink for toiletries, etc.
Friday was a rush to get to Preston after work, so decided to eat in the restaurant before the show. Both my wife and I had soup of the day, very hot with warm bread. I had the steak and chips, wife a panneni and chips. Both meals hot and well cooked, very enjoyable. With drinks and a tip a fare price.
Show at the Preston Guild Hall was excellent, although views spoiled for some fans with people standing near the stage dancing. Shawn Klush is the best Elvis tribute act I have ever seen. He bears a frightening resemblance to The King himself. The overall production was first class with excellent sound and lighting. Made extra special with backing singers sweet inspiration including an original member from 1969/77. A fantastic evening and a must for any Elvis fan.
Had breakfast in the hotel which was enjoyable although some items on the fry up could have been warmer. Something to do with the temperature on the bay marie according to my wife who works in catering.
Overall I would highly recommend the Holiday Inn for any events which are on a The Preston Guild Hall. I would definitely return here again.

When you are away on business you are looking for an easy check in, a decent meal, a nice bed, awesome shower and a good breakfast! Staples I think!
The holiday inn delivers on the breakfast and dinner.
The parking issues makes this hotel rather unusual - having to walk through a bus station at 10pm with my clothes was not what I was expecting.
Shower is mediocre and room is average. I personally wouldn't stay here again due to the parking and therefore couldn't justify the slightly extra expense compared to a premier inn or Travelodge.
On a positive staff are really friendly and the bar / restaurant area is inviting and modern.
