Building exterior is very tired and limited car parking. Hotel is clean and food steady staff friendly and efficient. Portions a little small in restaurant so think what your having as you may be hungry later

Good standard of accommodation for business trip. Reception staff warm and friendly. Located close enough to walk to town centre shops, restaurants and bars. Which is an attraction to get out and see some of the local life.

Like a converted office block - car park is really tiny and not a nice area to be parking elsewhere. I struck lucky with an early arrival but not sure this would be an option if they were full with conferences.
Standard HI although could have done with touching up the paint work in the room. Room was freezing - air con inefficient and noisy and radiator located behind thick curtains which defeats the object on a winters night.

Room, air con and service were fine. The food at the restaurant was however well below expectation. Ordered 4 different mains for dinner and they don’t taste good at all. So skip the food unless you absolutely can’t find other food to eat.

I used to live in Preston so I've passed this hotel hundreds of times.
Decent hotel and a nice room with wooden shutters instead of curtains, something I've never see in this country in a hotel but was interesting.
However, it was a cold night and the room was very cold and the thermostat didn't seem to make any difference, not matter what I did.
The wifi also didn't seem very strong either.
In the bathroom I couldn't get the main shower to go on. There was another shower head attached (a smaller less powerful one) which worked but was constantly too hot but therefore fortunately not very strong.
The breakfast was fine with a good selection of full English and continental breakfast. Coffee reasonable.
All in all a decent hotel but with a few niggles to sort out.

Let’s start with the building, itself. Unattractive, brick built, semi-circular and squeezed between the bus station and a main road; not encouraging. The car park is tiny, as well, and not helped by the thoughtless parking of a couple of ‘executive’ saloon cars.
The reception is on the first floor and was efficient and courteous.
The main issue was the room. I was allocated a twin room that was so small that the beds were actually touching.
The TV gave very limited choice, with most of the channels being locked out, untuned or generally not available. Even C4 wasn’t available - although I did have the choice of about 3 versions of BBC1 and ITV. In this day and age, this is pretty poor.
Talking of poor, the wireless internet was very slow, so I ended up using my 4G mobile instead. Again, should be better.
The bathroom was adequate and functional, although the sink tap wouldn’t give cold water, going from warm to hot enough to make tea!
On balance, I’m glad that I only stayed one night on business. I’m not sure that this would be my choice for an extended stay.

Decent stay. Clean room and friendly check-in staff. Big shout out to Aaron in the restaurant who accommodated our late arrival for breakfast with a friendly smile and a lovely full english from the back. Top man.

Last minute booking here due to travel issues - great room, good food and friendly welcome from reception. Car park seems a bit small, cars were abandoned on double yellows making entry and exit a bit tricky. Overall very good.

I stayed at the hotel for one night. It is conveniently located near to the city. Family room was very cosy and clean. Breakfast was included in the price, which was bonus for the 40 pound which I had paid.
