In September 2013, Paul W said about Holiday Inn Preston
Stayed here for two nights, wanted to be near Blackpool but not in Blackpool if you know what I mean... The hotel has 3 stars, is quite modern in the centre of Preston - sadly with a car park far too small for the number of visitors at the hotel. Both nights I had to park across the road in the rather run down bus station car park at a cost of £4 per 24 hours.
The staff were warm and friendly, the rooms were a bit small - but clean and fresh. I enquired about breakfast and they have a great offer (I guess only at weekends) £10 per room - at first I presumed this was per person, but per room it provides good value.
The breakfast staff and supervisor was really friendly and they were always replacing food as things ran out. There was free wifi at the hotel, but it was rather slow - if you want the high speed wifi then it costs extra. Managed to get a good 3G signal in Preston so wasn't really bothered.
I would certainly return at the right price, I usually prefer staying in Lancaster due to their health club and facilities but the proximity to Blackpool was quite good.

we stayed here for one night, during our trip to Lake District. On the whole very pleased with the hotel. great location and staff are fantastic.
Breakfast is great too - full English and well cooked with a good spread.
only slight drawback is the lack of parking, mainly due to the central location. We can easily park at the massive secure car park just across the hotel for a reasonable £4.00 per 24 hour period. But I feel there were a lot of cars that were not hotel guest and I reckon this can be better enforced so as to be fair to hotel guests, hence the 4 stars.
Room wise the usual high standard of a Holiday inn was prevalent. Nothing to complain about but was very good.
Would happily stay here again and would highly recommend it if you're looking for a hotel in Preston.

Can't complain for a one night stop. Rooms fine and clean, bar OK. Everywhere looked quite modern and clean so really can't complain.
Was a busy morning on the Sunday so could have done with a few more staff floating around, however that said would come again.
Only downside is the utterly inadequate car park for this size of hotel!!!

Staff are very good, food had issues, room was dirty, we pointed out issues with food on 1st night and staff went the extra mile on the 2nd night, but with the other issues we had still made it feel that the birthday weekend trip for my partner got spoilt

I was part of a coach tour of over 40 people. They cope with us and another coach load by providing a rather basic buffet dinner. Room was good, and lift welcome. Comfortable hotel, and recommended. Coach driver missed the entrance, so it could be better signed.

Stayed 1 night as a birthday treat. Very friendly lady on reception checked me in and instantly made me feel welcome.
My room was on the 1st floor overlooking the main road at the front. Lovely big room that felt spacious. It was quite warm but being able to open the window helped a bit. Comfy bed, tea making facilities and a nice big bathroom ensured I had everything I needed.
I used the pool/spa facilities and really enjoyed them, again the staff there were very friendly and showed me how to use he lockers and where everything was. It was very relaxing and chilled out. I didn’t use the bar or restaurant but breakfast the next day was great.
As the weather was unseasonably nice, it was nice to make use of the outside space and terrace.
I’d definitely consider staying here again for a treat (I live locally)

We stayed for 9 nights, hotel is a perfect location for transportation links such as Horwich Parkway and Blackrod Railway stations as well as motorways.
Very friendly staff, food and drink reasonably priced and Irene in the sports bar was a dream! What a lovely lovely lady! She made our stay! So friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble, an absolute asset to the hotel!
As well as lovely food at the hotel there are a number of options within easy reach, The Cherry Tree (very nice although pricier than others) The Brinsop (closed Monday’s and Tuesdays) and The Railway Pub.
All in all an excellent stay and would return

Arrived 745am but allowed us into the room for a £20 surcharge. Good value. We were staying 2 nights and we knew that on the morning of our departure it would be too early for breakfast. They kindly allowed us to have a breakfast on the day of check in instead . The boy on reception was definately on the "right bus"

We stayed here last weekend and our room was directly above the smoking area so the smell from the cigarettes was at times overpowering,also there was a wedding party going on and nobody bothered to intercept when two guests stood on the patio swearing and shouting at each other for over 30 minutes. The option was to close the windows in a very hot room with no air conditioning. Overall not a very comfortable stay.
