Stayed here yesterday as part of a national holiday tour, clean, spacious inviting, check in was quick, room was clean and presented, comfortable beds and amenities, bar was well appointed next to the reception, restaurant is adjacent to the reception, evening meal was nice, piping hot and plentiful... Slept well and down to breakfast, absolute shambles, insufficient food people queuing up, waiting for 10 minutes then food gone and waiting again, the system for toast and cereal is off kilter, and the same for hot food. Its a shame because I liked staying here and the staff were lovely but waiting for food for breakfast isn't a good thing, anyway overall a good visit, would certainly return..

Stayed here for one night on a business trip. Check in was fine with friendly and helpful reception staff. Room was fine an a relief it had good air con ad it was a very warm day and night. Room did suffer from traffic noise... I had a room overlooking the ring road.....and noise was a constant background despite double glazed windows. Bed was lovely and comfy and bathroom was clean with a good hot shower over the bath. One comment though....only one toilet roll and no spare, not a big deal if you are a solo traveller but could be an issue if you are a couple!
Location isn't the greatest....one side you have the main road and other side you have the bus station and about 5 mins walk back to the main restaurants n shops. Walk from rail Stan along ring road isn't too nice either...very dusty and I wouldn't feel safe doing it after dark either.
Breakfast was buffet style...a good selection of hot and cold foods which were replenished ad needed. Again another small criticism, it would have been nice having my own cafettiere of fresh coffee instead of having to get the waitress's attention for a coffee refill.
Minor points though for what was a nice stay, albeit just for one night.

I am usually very happy to use Holiday Inns when I want relatively cheap accommodation that is clean, smart and provides all the basics +. However, this Holiday Inn did not meet my expectations. It can only be described as a little tired. In addition, although my friend and I asked separately for wake up calls, neither of us received them. The reception was most apologetic but such an oversight could be disastrous. On other matters - charging my kindle, pleasantness and efficiency in dealing with check-in and check-out the staff were very good at the front desk. Not so in the restaurant. The waitress did not know the ingredients in one of the dishes - from the regular menu. There was little style in the service. The food was plentiful and better than expected and the breakfast was very good. I think that attention to refurbishment and some additional staff training could iron out the problems, but I am now a little cautious about seeing Holiday Inn as a brand from which I can expect a thoroughly positive experience.

An overnight stay gave us a room overlooking the car park which was quieter than others we have had facing westwards.
The room was clean and functional, in room refreshment supplies were minimal,2 sachets of tea, coffee and sugar, more available on request.
Dining room under pressure at breakfast as approx. 60 people arrived at the same time, lengthy waits resulting at the hot food server.

We stayed overnight en route to Scotland for the second time. Our room was excellent, with all necessary items and we enjoyed our meals. The restaurant staff were lovely, friendly and efficient, notwithstanding the fact that the air conditioning was not working properly and they must have been melting on a very hot evening.
Our only problem was that the air-conditioning in the room didn't work correctly (kept shutting off after 30minutes or so.)

We stayed here for two nights in June, we had prebooked so booking in was quick and easy. The room is a decent size with a toilet and shower room en-suite. There was a kettle for making tea or coffee but only enough milk for one cup, I went to ask at the bar for more milk and had to wait nearly 10 minutes to get served even though there were hardly any customers in the bar.
It was very expensive for a weekend visit but can be cheap to visit mid-week.
It has easy acess to the ring road of Preston and is close to the Motorway, didn't try the food but it looked expensive on the Menu so choose to eat out.

The holiday inn Preston is much like any other holiday inn with one exception the dinner service for coach tour guests. Unlike the normal holiday inn dinner service portions served to coach travellers are pitifully small, the choice of main course were a quarter of a chicken breast in sauce, half a fillet of fish in sauce or a quarter of a stuffed aubagine for the non meat eater. The vegetables were undercooked (raw). Starters and deserts were also small.
I must stress that this was a coach tour and normal meals may have been better.
The breakfast was far superior being of normal holiday inn quality with a wide choice of continental and cooked choices.
Rooms again are up to the normal holiday inn standard of comfort.

Not a bad hotel and the food was very good when received. Definitely needs more staff in the restaurant as they struggled to keep up with demand, especially at breakfast.
Ran out of eggs and couldn’t keep up with the demand for bacon....I’m still waiting for my eggs despite being told several times they are on their way.
Rooms are clean albeit in need of a bit of TLC on the paintwork, toilet flush a novelty when it worked.
