Second time here and staff once again were excellent . However certain parts of the hotel are looking very tired ( a common problem with Holiday Inns I think ) . Food good . Breakfast could be a bit more exciting .

For Preston city centre this hotel is right in the centre.
Good points: location is 2 minutes to all the shops and bars in Preston. It's clean and comfortable. Staff friendly. Breakfast is good. Standard holiday inn experience.
Bad points: parking is a nightmare. It has a small car park but unless you get in early you will need to park elsewhere. The gym is small but at least there is something.
Top tip: choose a room overlooking car park. It's much quieter than facing the main road and least likely to hear the clock chime on the hour.

Booked here for a 4 night stay whilst in the area. The hotel was very easy to find using the post code and is in a good location in the area.
First impressions is that the hotel looks a little dated, the check in process was nice and quick and a lot of information given regarding my stay.
The room was as described and as above, it is a little dated. One small minor issue is plug sockets available which are far and few between in the room. As I was staying for a week I do tend to bring along my laptop and other electrical devices that I do need to plug in. There was a double socket just above the desk but it was so close to the desk you couldn't actually plug anything in without either damaging the wire or leaving one of the three pins exposed which isn't exactly safe. However after speaking to reception they were happy to borrow me an extension for the week and did inform me that an revamp of the facilities is planned which will include USB ports bedside.
I dined in the bar/restraint each night and I can't credit the staff enough. Grace was nothing short of superb and delivered an excellent level of customer service. I was not waiting no more than 20 minutes between courses and the food was exceptional.
Breakfast was also very good and one of the perks of stopping at a Holiday Inn.
Overall a fantastic stay and I wouldn't have any qualms recommending or booking here in the future.
Thanks again to the team!

Check in was quick, no messing around. Nice staff, always willing to go the extra mile. Room was small but adequate enough, bathroom was again small but what was required with a powerful shower which always does it for me.
The hotel is in a great location, next door to the bus station and right near the shops. All in all a good stay, would definately use this hotel again.

We have used this hotel over the last 3years and we have always been impressed with the staff who are always friendly and very helpful. The breakfast is lovely with plenty of choices. The rooms are on occasion small but always comfortable. Not the best looking building from the outside but the inside and staff more than make up for that.

Exactly as expected - clean with all usual amenities. Toiletries included plus iron and ironing board provided. A bit of traffic noise but the address is a clue on this Ring Road is always going to busy. It is what it says on the tin 👍🏼

I remember this hotel from when it was built and believe it was called the Preston Crest or something like that. It always had a great reputation for great service, sleep quality and food and I'm thrilled to say that after our brief stop over last year those qualities are still at the forefront. It's on the doorstep for the town centre and the views from the bar/lounge area are quite something while waiting for dinner with it having vast walls of glass. Rooms are very comfortable and spotlessly clean with great showers. Wouldn't stay anywhere else apart from here

This was our overnight stop on our coach journey to Scotland. For people with any walking disability it isn't easy to access. You have to get a lift to reception and unfortunately 2 coaches arrived at the same time so it was chaos and it took quite a while to get to our room. The room was very comfortable. Dinner was a nightmare as there were 3 coaches in the hotel and instead of staggering meal times everyone went in at the same time, and the food was very poor except the soup. However over 2 hours for an evening meal when you are tired is too long and they need to rethink how meals are served to coach parties. The evening meal except the soup was dreadful but the breakfast was very good and self service which was much better than the evening meal.

Stopped for one night for a work trip
Quick and easy to find
Parking was a pain (looked for a space and found none, parked in the bus station across the road and walked back to the hotel to find 3 spaces were now empty 🤦🏾♀️)
Anyways - check in was easy and quick
Went to my room which was massive and had everything you could need
However it did look and feel outdated (carpets looked old maybe it was the colours of it that looked outdated !)
Getting ready for bed I decided to run a bath and put the air con on, came out and was sitting in bed and could hear dripping sounds
It took me 5 mins of looking around everywhere to realise that it was the air con unit dripping water on to the carpet (definitely needs to be checked out)
I had a great nights sleep - bed and pillows were comfy and as I had the air con the temperature was just right for me (colleagues mentioned their air con systems had problems!)
Breakfast was very good in the morning too, filling and a good choice of hot food and continental type brekkies too
Would consider staying again if in the area !
