Just stayed 1 night for an early coach from the bus station . Check in very fast, room very clean and comfortable. Hotel is next to the bus station but we didn't have any noise in the room. The hotel is only a couple of minutes walk from the center of Preston with some places to eat. We would recommend this hotel and will stay again if going to Preston.

I was very impressed by the staff who were helpful and curious. However the rooms were average at best. It was a bit noisy and wifi doesn't work. The breakfast was plentiful but not the best quality. Overall average except for the location which made it accessible but noisy.

Not too far from the railway station; if you don't have heavy bags then a short walk down the high street. Pleasant room but was an exceptionally windy night and unfortunately the glazing didn't completely block out the sound. However it wasn't excessive. Dinner was very good with good portion sizes, breakfast perfectly adequate. The staff really were exceptionally friendly and polite and made you feel very welcome.

Stayed in the Holiday Inn for 12 nights due to being on a Army course. The hotel outside is not much to look at, the inside is quite modern. Good bar and a good reception. The breakfast is very good, only bad point on breakfast the porridge was like water and some dirty plates.
The free wi-fi is mega slow and the premium wi-fi is £5 a day and the speed I got was 3.7 meg. The rooms are outdated and very noisy and if you get room 312 that should be a quite room it's not as the staff are very noisy using a staff lift near the rooms.
I would not stay for more than 1 night again and would recommend looking elsewhere.

If you need a hotel close to Preston City Centre then the Holiday Inn is great. Room was clean and tidy and restaurant nineteen75 served a decent selection of reasonably priced food. Breakfast offered a wide selection to suit all tastes.

A real positive was the attitude of the staff. All very friendly and prepared to go out of their way to help.

Went up north for a weekend to see friends for a 50th... The hotel is situated about a 10 minute walk from the railway station and 5 minutes walk from the main high street. The hotel is on a bit of a junction and tricky to get crossing the road to it... It does have limited car parking spaces... The hotel its self was clean and smart, friendly reception, bar staff and breakfast staff, breakfast was very good and well worth getting this included in the price, hotel room was very clean and a decent size. i would ask for a high rise floor to avoid the noise from passing traffic.

As a professional Dj you get asked to perform in various venues and I can only speak as I find....the staff at The Holiday Inn are AMAZING! Hardworking, caring and most of all they have brilliant team spirit, something that I have witnessed whilst doing their Christmas Parties, their collective energy and overall happiness have spilled out to the customers and have made Christmas 2015 a very special year for me as their resident for the period. Roll on 2016!

Fantastic location for Preston city centre. Welcoming, helpful staff. Rooms a bit dated, Windows drafts & do little to stop the road traffic noise. TV picture terrible. Free broadband very slow. Room service arrived quickly & the food was OK.

Here for a one night stay, friendly greeting on reception, lovely comfortable room with all mod cons, even though the telly picture wasn't the best, fast free wifi was included. In the bathroom, the shower worked well, and the towels were plentiful and fluffy.
This morning the breakfast was fantastic, great selection of fresh and tinned fruit, yoghurt, cereals, croissants, bread for toast, and a good selection of traditional cooked breakfast fare. Lastly, the service staff, were friendly and helpful.

Don't think I can find anything I can justly find real fault in!

I stayed here as I was attending a Christmas party in Preston and needed somewhere to crash!

The hotel isn't attractive at all on the outside and the inside is a little tired. The place is spotless as are the rooms. The service at reception and the dining staff are exceptional.

I have no complaints other than the look of the hotel which badly needs a face lift.

Stayed for 3 nights over the new year period, we were a bit worried about how the staff would be, given the time of year but we needn't have worried. The hotel staff were great nothing was to much trouble from the receptionist to the lovely lady serving at breakfast. Everyone had a smile on their face which isn't always the case with British hotels.
The room was clean and tidy.
The breakfast was served rather the advertised buffet on two days due to lack of residents having breakfast but the quantity served wasn't diminished.
People moan a lot and praise is rare so when praise is justified I think it should be given and for this stay the praise is justified

Overall we had a good stay as a business couple. Staff were fantastic. Best of all was the lovely Thai lady from the restaurant. We did however find the evening dining wasn't great. Food wasn't up the the standard of the price being asked.Also there was quite a few bits in the room that didn't work including the air con.

The hotel's location is convenient if you are working in Preston, or for the train station (it's a ten minute walk). The rooms are comfortable, if not luxurious, and the staff are all too happy to help.
It is located next to a busy main road, so the traffic noise can be a bit annoying on the lower floors, though there are heavy shutters in the affected rooms.

Very good basic amenities in room. No fridge is disappointing but the room is very clean and has all the other things I need. TV channel choice is very limited.

Nice hotel. Staff friendly. A little worse for wear though. It could do with a little refurbishment but ok for a couple of nights stay.

The hotel rooms could do with an update but overall the hotel was ok. The bar was quiet but cosy and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was very good and I'd happily stay again if I was working in Preston. There are limited car parking spaces so don't move it if you manage to get one...shops etc all within easy walking distance.
