Holiday Inn Preston
Latest Reviews
Stayed for one night on business. I arrived at the hotel and the car park was full, they have an overflow car park locally. When I was checking out people had got parking tickets, I later found out that if you park in the overflow car park you have to get a special ticket from reception.
Check in was fast once they found my booking.
Room was clean and tidy.
Ordered room service was very quick and food was very good.
Overall a good stay.

Needed an overnight in Preston to appear in Court. This one was right across the road from the Crown Court and turned out to be good value. Although right on the road, it was very quiet and got a good night's sleep. Room well appointed and reasonably large. Good shower. Reasonable dinner ( fish and chips) but a bit expensive for what it was. Staff helpful and friendly. Overall a good choice.

Great breakfast ten out of ten. I really enjoyed that in the morning I left. lovely clean rooms, lovely staff. Would recommend again. Only concern was its slighty out of the centre had to hop onto taxis to get about. Otherwise great place.

I stayed here at the start of February for the one night. A friendly welcome was offered on arrival and I was checked in quickly.
The room as others have said was a little on the small side, however I was only there the one night and it wasn't too much of an issue as it was clean and well maintained with no visible housekeeping problems.
Clean bedding and towels were available and the bed itself was very comfortable, I had a good nights sleep with no disturbances which is always impressive for a Saturday evening in a town centre location.
I ordered room service which was delivered promptly and was of good quality. There is a very good choice of dishes on the menu with something to suit all tastes. Breakfast in the morning was very nice. It is a buffet, however the was a very good choice of dishes available which was replenished regularly in small batches.
Checking out in the morning was quick and hassle free whilst I was thanked as I left.
One thing I noticed which is strange with this hotel is that there is only standard rooms available, normally Holiday Inns have a choice of at least two (Standard and Executive etc).
Overall a good stay and I would be happy to return in the future.

I stayed there during the month of May-June 2013 for 4 days. Rooms are too small. Location is very good just near the Tithebern bus stop. The entrance is a bit confusing. But overall it is good one. Cleanliness is up to a very good degree. Breakfast was nice.

Its a Holiday inn, you know what you're getting when you stay here.
I could be extra picky. Ideally, Id like more in the free tea/coffee tray rather than enough for one cup. The bathroom could've been a bit bigger but as a place to crash, its ideal. £50 was definitely worth the money.
The parking isn't great though. That needs to be looked at.

Stayed here on 29th Jan and was adequately happy with my stay. Parking seems to be restricted to only a few right outside the hotel, otherwise it's a trek across the road into the multi-storey. I'm not sure if you have to pay here but you certainly need a permit to park there so arrive early for a spot outside the hotel.
The guy that greeted me advised me to park on the double yellow lines in the car park, when I went to change parking spaces from the multi-storey there was an empty parking space, so thanks to the receptionist for the tip.
Room was pleasant enough and done the job. Breakfast was good along with some happy helpful staff which always makes a massive difference.

Being a regular business person up North and being a Gold Ambassador member of IHG; I have no other choice but to stay in the Holiday Inn Preston. You cannot even upgrade as they do not have any other type of rooms available. The exterior leaves little to the imagination and the interior of the hotel provides the same feeling. It does provide a comfortable stay but it is located in a terrible location next to the main bus station and little choice for food around.

Realised that we regularly stay on business and use conference facilities and have not written review. Yes, it's not a pretty exterior and is not in a great location but beds are comfortable and breakfast and lunch are very good! Staff are helpful and friendly and I've never been in such clean toilets! So, well done to staff who make a miserable building come to life and provide what is expected!

The room was average, but clean enough. The breakfast was disappointing.
I did ask for the IHG Loyalty card and after filling in all the forms, still not heard anything 6 weeks later?
Guess they don't want my business any more, but I would not want to stay here again anyway!

Comfortable enough, not much about a Holiday Inn Express in my opinion.
Good shutters to keep out the light. Bed and pillows ok, interesting view out over industrial preston. Not much parking out the front, and difficult to find the entrance as it's located on a big road junction.

Not much to look at this well located Holiday Inn offers a snug overnight refuge to break your journeys. Comfortable rooms on the fringe of the town centre so plenty of choice of food and drink. Great breakfast choice too.

Having stopped in a Holiday Inn before we knew what to expect. This particular hotel was ok although the room we had was very small and was tired. Staff reasonably friendly although receptionist did not ask if everything was ok with our stay which is usually asked when checking out. We did not book breakfast however, having seen the menu in the lift we decided to ask in the morning if we could purchase a sausage sandwich. This seemed to be a big ask. We were left stood there for a good 5 minutes whilst a member of staff decided to check if this was ok. He never returned. 2 more members of staff asked if they could help and we explained that we just wanted a sandwich which both replied that this shouldn't be a problem. Obviously it was and having been left there, we decided in the end to walk away and find breakfast elsewhere. I understand that we would have paid a cheaper price to the normal £12-13 that we would have had to pay if we had pre-booked. We just would have appreciated a yes or no instead of being left there. Other than this, the stay was ok but would choose alternative accommodation next time in Preston before we looked here again.

I wasn't looking for anything flash so booked in here. I would have probably tried somewhere else in hindsight. Booked in here as free wifi was advertised which is true but wifi DOESN'T work above the first floor.
Basically, the place is clean, tidy have polite staff and my only advice is .....if offering free wifi for all rooms at least make sure it works.

Stranded overnight by train disruption I booked in to this hotel. The hotel is approx. 15 mins walk from train station although there were plenty of cabs at station which may have been better idea. The hotel is a slightly older style of holiday inn in terms of décor but is clean and comfortable. Sleep quality was great as there are wooden shutter things inside room and no noise from outside at all gets in. Would definitely use again if overnight in Preston

Everything is alright here at the Holiday Inn. It is simple, no frills, just keeps you safe, warm, and comfortable at night. The thing that I definitely noticed is that it is extremely hard to reach the front desk when you are in your room. If you need to call a taxi, order room service, ask a question, when you press the button for the front desk, nobody answers. I guess they answer about 1/3 of the time, which is EXTREMELY dangerous if there is an emergency they must attend to.

Good standard of Room...service...and food.
Good bar area and friendly staff...slept well...triple glazing!
We had to leave at 6am and breakfast didn't start to 6.30am. We weren't offered anything which I suppose I expected but would have been nice to be offered something or maybe a discount?
Watch when turning off the roundabout....we missed the turning into the hotel and its a bit if a nightmare getting back as its one way. Not many car park spaces we got lucky this time...last spot!!

Good location, easy to get to from train station (about 4 pounds by cab) very friendly staff welcomed us to Preston and gave us very simple directions to the concert that we came to see (Bill Wyman).
Rooms were nice, clean and all that we needed at a very minimal cost.

Holiday Inn Preston, is located right next to the Preston bus station, which is right in the city centre. So the place wins on location. The continental breakfast served was good but not as great as the one served in Premiere Inn, including the premiere Inn in Preston city centre. Still highly recommended after Premiere Inn

Not the best check in! Room good, with tea/coffee, hair dryer, shower over bath, comfortable bed. Room service excellent (fantastic risotto). Leaving before breakfast started so continental offered for 6.15am, ready and waiting and receptionist & porter insisted on making me tea to take. Definitely stay here again.

Stayed here to break a journey - the hotel is situated on a major road junction, sat nav finds it OK (I normally bypass the town on the M6, so don't know the area).
The main problem here is the lack of car parking at the hotel itself, however, the receptionist very helpfully directed me to the bus station car park and the hotel has a £4.00 parking deal. NOTE : Single ladies will probably not relish using this "facility".
Otherwise, room was good, bar and restaurant staff pleasant and helpful, food good and 0530 checkout rapid and efficient.
Overall OK, but with this major parking caveat

We booked in to the Holiday Inn at Preston for 2 nights as we were attending a function in Preston and thought that we would also include a shopping trip.
The hotel was excellent. The double room was spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good value for money (£10).
