I had the privilege to stay at the Holiday Inn Preston on a 3 night stay - whilst I was working and looking after a young gentleman by the name of Matthew, he is Severely Autistic with challenging behavioural problems. I must say the staff working here are truly exceptional. The management ensured nothing was too much trouble, they had reserved a disabled bay prior to our arrival, the room allocated was spacious, scrupulously clean and the beds were really comfortable. The breakfast selection was vast, fresh, cooked well, the quality of the hot 'n' cold food on offer was remarkable. Most important feature of this hotel is it's core staff, they are all truly professional, attentive, courteous and work extremely well together as a team. The front of house staff ensured nothing was too much trouble so special thanks to "Georgia Crosskell" and "Dina Modsia" you are both extremely true professionals, very attentive and dedicated individuals. Special thanks to "Lee Stevenson" who worked in the restaurant who had the patience of a saint so again much appreciated. Also the pleasant chap who went over and above anyone else and above his own work remit - "Matthew Ashcroft" who I believed worked in the Maintenance Dept, can I just say a special thank you for your help and cooperation during our stay it didn't go unnoticed, if anyone deserves recognition for Employee of the Month I hope you Matthew Ashcroft are considered along with the other named employees. Finally I would just like to say a special thank you to the General Manager of this establishment "Michelle Lonsdale" who ensured our planned visit went like clockwork. A true manager who runs a very well organised hotel which I understand is owned by Centre Island but is licenced to the IHG Group, this company should be very proud you have an exceptional manager in post. Thank you all once again.

My main issue with this hotel was the car park. It's tiny and usually full. There is a large multi-storey car park (bus station) opposite the hotel but this was closed for construction during my visit. I found another multi-storey about 10 mins walk away, which was ok but not great if you're arriving late at night and having to walk from there with bags. And of course you have to pay to use it.
The hotel room was good. Very clean, wooden shutters on windows to keep out the noise from the main road, comfortable bed, loads of hot water etc etc. No problems there at all, although on the small side for £99 per night. It's more like a £75 room.
I didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on the food, but the bar/restaurant looked busy everytime I walked past.
Hotel reception staff were friendly & welcoming.

Nicely placed hotel within easy walking distance of the town centre , car park is a bit small but we always found a space. Room was very clean only criticism was the shower setting was temperamental couldn't quite get the right water temperature either too hot or cold, the rest of the family staying with us did not have this problem in their rooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay.

Stayed overnight on way to coast. Reception was excellent and well noted my Gold Card.
Room was on 6th floor with good views of the city. Very comfortable although furnishings a bit dated. Bathroom absolutely fine with good shower and bath.Beds and pillows were super comfortable.
Had dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was "steak week" with very good medium prices. The steaks were perfectly cooked to our requirement and the staff were really nice.
Same can be said for the breakfast with big choice of hot and cold foods.
Overall we were very pleased with our stay. Very good value for the money.

The staff were all very nice from reception to the Restaurant. I had room service my 1st night and it was very nice and a very large portion. The breakfast had plenty of choice and was really nice. The bed was really comfy. Room a little bit dated but fine for the 3 nights I stayed. My only negative is I was overlooking the bus station and the noise of the constant announcements from the station and the traffic I found it very very hard to sleep. Also through the night there was a noise like a generator not sure if there was next to my room as my room 312 was the last on the landing next to a cupboard and stairs. As I've been on a course when I'm back in August I'm not sure I will stay again as I need my sleep.

We stayed at this hotel during a visit to Preston for a special occasion. The room was great and staff were excellent. We even got a free bottle of fizz delivered to the room which was greatly appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate in staying here again as location was great for our needs as only a short walk to the city centre.

A weekend Coach Trip took us to stay at this particular hotel overnight for D/B/B. Very impressed with the cleanliness of hotel and our rooms were first class, no complaints there! The Staff, where all exemplary, which always makes a difference, they were all so pleasant, even when, dozens and dozens of folk descended on them for both dinner and breakfast! It was chaos, queueing and waiting for tables....However, we agreed it was only probably like that when coach trips turned up! Evening meal was o.k. but breakfast was excellent, with something for everyone's palate and plentiful...well worth the wait! I do believe that something should be done about the organisation at mealtimes as although we took it in our stride, others didn't and were becoming irate. Staff dealt with it all admirably..Well Done to all of them

Stayed for one evening whilst working in Blackburn - a quick and easy 30 min drive away.
The hotel is an average Holiday Inn - all perfectly sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and the room service dinner very nice.
Decor is of the older Holiday Inn standard - so could do with an update. But it’s fine for a nights stay.

The service in the restaurant was great, the food not so much. Really was expecting more but the waiter and I got on really well. He was a lovely Philippine lad called Lee. But the rooms were nice and tidy. Ample amounts of everything. Not a bad stay. Food was just lacking.

Stayed at this hotel for one night on Sunday 24 June 2018. Situated right in the centre of Preston with free car parking. Check in was very quick and was allocated a room on the 7th floor at the end of the corridor. The room was small but very nice and clean.
Had a great nights sleep as it was so quiet. Breakfast in the morning was excellent with plenty of choice. All the staff we came in to contact with were very friendly and helpful.
I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I am back in Preston, as it has a fantastic location and is only a short walk from pubs, restaurants and the local market.
