Booked this hotel as a single female guest for an overnight stay. Hotel did not disapoint. Wanted a central location so I could go out in the evening to meet friends and not worry about walking back to hotel. Very central...next to bus station...3 mins walk from Guilhall...4 from main shops.
Room had everything needed, was spacious and clean. Excellent comfy bed (double) and choice of firm/soft piĺlows...brilliant! Both bath and adjustable shower. Nice biccies with tea/coffee tray.
Breakfast was impressive array of continental and cooked. Staff were so lovely and very friendly...nothing too much trouble.
Made the decision I would have another night out in Preston with friends again in future purely because of hotel. I felt safe and comfortable staying there. 😊

At first glance this hotel appears extremely unappealing, perched on the ringway overlooking the bus station and multi storey car park, but once you get inside it's a different story. The staff, without exception, couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming, the level of customer service put some 5 star hotels to shame. The rooms are a good size and very clean, with comfortable beds and nice little touches, like biscuits on the tea tray and shower caps in the bathroom. The car park being very small is the only negative, but reception are happy to help with alternatives if there are no spaces. Overall it is the staff who make this hotel and I would definitely stay here again because of them.

Arriving late parking at the hotel was a nightmare (non existent as totally full) so I ended up in the bus station car park over the road... although this was well lit with loads of space and £4 for 12hrs.
Welcome at the hotel was good, room service prompt, delivered with a smile and good value.
Room on the small side but perfectly adequate. Clean. Shower lovely and hot.
Breakfast good, welcoming and staff were very friendly. It was busy but not overcrowded.
All in all a good stay and if I’m in the area I would stay again. Good value for money for a business stay over.

My daughter and I have used this hotel many times. We are from the Lake District. We went 14 years ago when she got her wedding dress. Fond memories. We have used it many times since. Every year we have a mother and daughter weekend Xmas shopping. We go on the train. The hotel is just away from the town which I like . We have a nice meal and a good catch up. The staff are lovely and food good. We will be booking again for next year. Apparently next year it is going to be refurbished. Keep up the good work and standard.

Stayed here twice in two weeks time. Clean rooms and nice staff. Warm welcome as gold member. Breakfast is good, also for continental breakfast. Also had meals in the restaurant (Nineteen 75, see reviews). Carpark very small, but you can use carpark of the neighbours (till 7 a.m.) or the carpark at the busstation (payed).

The reason we chose this hotel was the location, but we found it perfect. Not just the food but the staff and our accommodation was the best we have stayed in. The room was not very large but we had everything we needed. For the first time, we had a bed that was so comfortable it was a pleasure to go to bed. We have stayed in many places, but i think this was the first time we could help our self to the hot breakfast. For the breakfast we had a choice of everything you would want. We found a card in the room that told us , dont worry if you have forgotten anything, I am talking about toiletries, toothbrushes and past, shaving and blades, free of charge. Yes it is hard to believe but true.

Stayed at the Holiday Inn overnight with my son recently so we could catch the train to Edinburgh the next morning. We were greeted reasonably - the staff on reception did seem to enjoy regular 'jokes' together which doesn't always present well to guests. But the room was good enough and well equipped. The hotel has a restaurant which we didn't eat in and a bar which was comfortable if a little understaffed at times for a Friday night.
The train we had booked on left Preston at 07:53 which meant we needed to walk to the station - a 20 minute walk I estimated to be on the safe side. I had booked the hotel as it was relatively close to the station and because the breakfast option was reasonably priced. It was therefore disappointing to find that breakfast only started at 07:30. I understand that it was a Saturday and that breakfast usually starts a bit later but other hotels start breakfast at 07:00. It may be worth considering doing this at the Holiday Inn.
To be fair to the staff, they had offered us a breakfast bag with pastries, a roll, butter, cheese, a yoghurt and fruit. This could have been improved by some cheap plastic cutlery to allow one to eat the products that were in the bag. There was no drink either which is something that is much needed at breakfast.
I have therefore rated the Holiday Inn only as average. In many respects, it is a good hotel and deserves better than this and had the breakfast issue been different, I would have rated it more highly. But you can only report on your own experience and in his case, the Holiday Inn only warranted the average score. However, if want a decent hotel to stay in, close to the town centre then the Holiday Inn won't disappoint unless you are catching an early train !

Have stayed twice for business purposes and enjoyed my stay both times. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the beds are extremely comfy and everything very clean.
Only docking one star as on the second visit my bathroom smelt of smoke and the taps etc were falling apart

This Holiday Inn is right opposite Preston bus station and an easy walk into the centre where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. I was a bit disappointed with the room - it just feels tired and in need of some updating. The WiFi was very slow and the TV reception not good on some channels. We didn’t visit the leisure faculties so can’t comment on them but breakfast was tasty and the staff all seemed friendly and helpful.
