Rooms slightly dated, parking poor but staff very welcoming and courteous and evening meal and breakfast great. Central to Preston and right next to bus station. Not situated in the most pleasant area of the city.

Stayed for 2 nights and was disappointed to see the whole hotel, from carpets to paint to furniture to bathroom fittings was all very tired, worn. The hotel desperately needs refurbishment especially when you consider the cost per night in comparison to the local competition.
The parking out the front of the hotel is free and very limited, if you're out of luck then there is plenty opposite which is only a short walk.
On arrival the rooms air condition wasn't working & kept showing fault this was reported and resolved within the hour - apparently the aircon machinary on the roof is tempremental, continues to fault/trip out & needed a reset (another example of a 'tired' hotel)
We found the staff all very helpful & polite.
Best part of the stay was the continental & English breakfast which was perfect.

We enjoyed our stay here. The staff were friendly and attentive. The room was clean and pleasant. Breakfast was good with a nice range of food, the cooked breakfast was buffet style and very fresh. The bar stayed open as long as we wanted it to in the evening. No complaints at all!

Firstly the web site says no parking, so we parked elsewhere only to be asked atvtge front desk if we had parked with them out front for free? Then given a twin room as they had no doubles left. Other than that an adequate hotel for the price location great for the city and the bus station.
Decor a little tired and past its best but staff friendly. Breakfast good and varied.

I have now stayed at this hotel several times and have concluded it is a lot better than I first thought. On a recent occasion, I walked from the train station, which took me 15 minutes. It is otherwise about £6 by taxi. The hotel is immediately next to the "listed" bus station. I have also had a better chance to investigate the area. It is very near to the shops and only a five minute walk from the Harris Gallery, a museum which is free to enter and well worth a visit. There are plenty of eateries in the area, although the immediate neighbourhood does feel a bit dead on a weekday night - it may be livelier at weekends.
Check-in is handled efficiently with helpful and welcoming staff. My rooms have all been very comfortable, well-equipped either for work or leisure, with a good desk and a comfy chair. They are well lit. There has been a large, flat screen TV, with Freeview. The rooms have all had an iron and board, as well as tea/coffee making facilities. They even provide biscuits and, on the last occasion I stayed, I had a special note as a loyalty card holder, some more biscuits and a bottle of water, which I very much appreciated in the hot weather. The rooms have all had good air conditioning, though. The beds are extremely comfortable, with quality linen. The towels are also good quality and it is nice to have a bath in the bathroom, and not just a shower. The rooms have always been spotlessly clean.
I have enjoyed my breakfasts, with a good selection of well-cooked hot foods and "continental" breakfast items. There is one particular member of staff, I think she may be originally from the Philippines, who is very good at making diners feel welcome and wishing them an enjoyable breakfast. She receives my "employee of the month" award every time, staring everyone's day with a beaming smile!

I stayed here for business on two consecutive weeks in late July and early August 2018. I found the room extremely comfortable, the food delicious and the staff exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this hotel

We started using the hotel for meetings about 2 years ago. Visit about 3 times a year. Good value for both the meeting rooms and bedrooms.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff.
Normal holiday inn fare for breakfast - which is fine.
Location v convenient- can easily walk from the train station. Bus station virtually adjoining.
Parking can be a squeeze in their own car park - these is a multi-storey next door though which has recently been refurbished and is inexpensive.
We continue to return.

Those are not by far the best hotel though if you have to stop at Preston then there is not much to choose from if you want to stay in the centre. Hotel needs a refurb though rooms are clean and spacious. Not so wheelchair friendly in the evening as you have to go to first the floor to get the lift. There are parking and a disabled space.
