Had a voucher bought for afternoon tea.
The food was really nice and Irene was lovely. She couldn't do enough to make the experience enjoyable. Would certainly go again.

I meant to meet a friend at the nearby Middlebrook Shopping Centre but couldn't park due volume of Xmas shoppers. I had driven past the Georgian House so I messaged by friend to meet at the hotel. We were warmly greeted by Irene who was on bar duties. We only required a hot drink but the friendly and efficient service from Irene was way beyond our degree of expectancy. The lounge area was clean and comfortable, it was a most pleasant experience. I will call in again when I'm next in the area.

Firstly, great location and comfy beds and the air con is a massive plus given the heat in the room even in November.
The downside was the car parking, only 32 spaces available and nearly all taken when checking in at 2pm. The room, although comfortable was small for a holiday inn and had not been cleaned adequately enough. There was still beard stubble in the sink.
Also, being an ihg member, I requested a room away from the lift and non allergy pillows, neither of which were supplied. I appreciate that these are only requests but when placed 3 weeks in advance, I can't understand why we did not get these and have not come across this in any other holiday inn.
All in all, I would return but suggest there may be better value out there in the same price bracket considering you may also have to pay for parking if you don't get there early enough.

I would like to thank Abul Ahmed on reception for his kind and efficient and helpful assistance regarding arranging tickets online to go up Blackpool Tower - a process which can be somewhat bureaucratic

Booked into this hotel late on a Sunday night and receptionist was more interested in his phone call than providing a good customer experience. Room allocated was very tired, with chipped furniture and dowdy paintwork. slow service in restaurant on an evening. On the positive side, breakfast was good and free wifi. Majority of staff were friendly and willing to help.

Our family stopped by this hotel while passing through Preston on June 12, 2017. While there, we encountered a situation that had to be dealt with in July. We contacted management and they immediately took care of our problem. Although we did not end up staying here (we decided to travel further toward our final destination), the response and help we received from management leads me to believe they run a very customer friendly hotel.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here just for a night and we loved it. Not too far away from the centre and there was a few shops/takeaways near by. Very big and comfy bed in our hotel room and the window took up the whole of one wall which we liked. The room was clean and well decorated and had air condition which we made good use of. I like the fact that you have a choice of hard or firm pillows and the hotel can also offer hypoallergenic pillows or a variety of complimentary toiletries if you had forgotten something. We had a brilliant stay and very much enjoyed the breakfast and a leisurely morning as checkout was until 12pm (later than a lot of hotels)

I stayed one night whilst in Preston, great customer service experience from reception and bar service.
Breakfast was of a decent standard and well presented buffet. Bedroom was clean and well maintained. I would stay here again, however, the only negative is the inadequate sized car park. When I arrived at 7pm all spaces were taken and double parking/blocking in had started. The receptionist offered a solution to park on the office block’s car park next door but with the condition I was gone by 7am this didn’t work for me. I parked on a public car park above the bus station which was fine but a tad inconvenient. The hotel should describe the parking limitations more openly, however that is my only criticism.
