Holiday Inn Preston
Latest Reviews
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.

Easy to access local amenities, transport links and city centre. Preston bus station is right next to it.

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.

I regularly work in Preston and needed to stay overnight for meetings and stayed at this IHG hotel. It's a clean and airy building but the room decor could do with a refresh. Minor point because everything else was fine and the bed was very comfortable.
The bar area is cosy and comfortable and the restaurant is good quality and goof value. Breakfast was excellent and once again caused me to cheat on my diet .... Thanks chef!
Will happily stay here again next time I am in Preston and recommend it to anyone looking for a good value central location.

We were part of a coach party on a Coronation Street Tour and were allocated this Holiday Inn.On arrival we all thought o my goodness what are we doing in what looked like a rough area.It,s next to a main Bus station(which could be handy for some).
Once inside we were pleasantly surprised.Lovely big single beds and very comfy.The staff very friendly and Breakfast had a great selection.
Bad Points Shower was only attached to the tap and leaked.
Bed furniture was a bit battered.
Room info stated there was a mini bar.There was a hole where it once may have been.
Net curtains were ripped and had seen better days.
Ideal if staying one night as it was comfy and clean but Could do with some money spent on it.

The hotel looks drab from the road, but impressed inside really really modern.
Well Christmas party night, the dj des grant made the night with his mixture of up to date, oldies etc you name it he played the best of the best, he new how to get you dancing. The seating arrangements for our party well I wasn't impressed, 8 on a round table & 7 on a long table next to each other.staff more or less great! But the food could have been better, chicken starter quite nice not enough salsa, colleagues said tomato & basil soup not so good, turkey ok gravy ok roast spuds dried out & veg mediocre all mixed up together, can't comment on the pork or fish, chocolate cake just ok, can't comment on other desserts. White wine drinkable but colleagues said the rose bit vinegary! Overall good , food could be better to make an even better night. And I do believe it was the same quality in 2010 so nothing has changed, as I was warned in advance by some who attend that year. Take note what was goodish could be great!

The hotel is clean, staff are lovely.
We stayed over for a Chritmas party night, which we enjoyed.
We waited in the bar area paying for our drinks, for 40 minutes longer than we were informed we would be. Once we were eventually seated, our drinks were free (included in the price of the ticket).
The service was extemely slow, so it was late when we eventually ate. A waiter handed out hot plates, asking if we were having turkey or pork, but we were given the same plates ???
The plates were cold by the time the food arrived. Food was ok.

I am a fan of the Holiday Inn brand. It's pretty reliable and always good value for money. Good sized bed, firm mattress and the traditional firm or soft pillows to choose from. The breakfast was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful regarding the limited amount of parking on site.

Not much wrong with this hotel. I stayed on a 'rewards night' as I am a Gold member. Checkin was efficient and friendly.
Room was small but clean. Bed comfy but shower a bit lac lustre.
Breakfast had nice of selection, but when we arrived there was a 'fight' as staff member thought it was included and he had to call reception to get approved allowing us to enter.
Maybe it was time we arrived but there were no eggs, beans or hash browns out. They were replaced after 5 - 10 min but was a shame. Also had to track down someone to request coffee. Maybe just an off morning.
Finally on checkout I was presented a bill for over £100 even though room was booked through IHG website direct as a reward booking! A minor thing but it is this lack of detail that makes this hotel an average one.

Holiday Inn Preston was ok for a few days as a base while working away. The room was typical size, bed comfortable with choice of firm or soft pillows. Shower very good. The tea / coffee rations were a bit tight having only 2 of each per day. Breakfast was good with decent selection. Location OK - 2 mins to main town centre.

I stay at this hotel regularly and choose it over the other hotels due to the staff, they are the friendliest and most helpful out of any hotel I have ever stayed at, I have been a regular at other hotels for years but have never been met with the courtesy that the people working at this hotel show. After a very short period of time they have gotten to know me and my little quirks, they will go out of their way to fulfil any request for a regular stayer or a first timer. I recommend this hotel for both business guests and those using as a base for holiday.

Booked in to see a concert at the Guild Hall - only 3 minute walk away. Greeted by a very pleasant, efficient girl on reception who put us in a room away from a tour party that were staying. Nice clean room, everything you need - especially free wifi. Then restaurant staff were also very good and polite, food nice and hot and well prepared. Bar area was tidy and bar staff quick and pleasant also. Terrific value for money.

The hotel was clean & convenient for what we wanted. The beds were comfortable, the staff were all very friendly & the food was quite nice, but the twin room we had was very small, to me it was more like a single room with twin beds.
