Great position only 3 minutes from the venue! Room excellent overall, only fly in the ointment was non functioning shower. The duty staff really tried to solve the problem. The staff were all amazingly helpful & friendly without exception. Breakfast brilliant & good value if you book it before midnight on your day of arrival. It was £10.00 for the room! Order on the following morning and you pay £12.95 per head. Will definitely be back.

Stayed here for 1 night over the weekend as my partner and I were out attending a friend's birthday party.
We arrived a little bit early but we were allowed to check in as our room was ready, the lady who checked us in was fantastic and even gave us a bit of history about the hotel! Turns out she won an award for receptionist of the year and I can tell why.
Whilst walking to our room the cleaners were still in the corridor working hard but they were polite and made sure we knew where we were going.
We were on the second floor, overlooking the flooded flat roof and the bus station. This didn't bother us though as we weren't there for the views. The room was clean, tidy and in general good condition.
Breakfast was good, could have been warmer but they were constantly bringing out fresh food so this wasn't a problem. The two ladies who were working were rushed off their feet, but still kept a smile on their face.
When we checked out the gentleman doing so didn't seem to be 100% interested and told us to just leave our room keys on the counter and that was it.
I definitely would stay here again and have been told that the rooms on the top floors are lovely, so I will ask for one of these!

Stayed here on 14 Feb as I was up for a couple of local football matches.
Great location in the city centre next to the bus station.
Free parking in their small car park - hint is to get there early!
Didn't eat of drink at the hotel.
Great value for money though and would hapilly return.
Welcomed as a IHG card holder - even though it's a very basic card!

Decided to try Preston for a night out with my mates so after looking at some hotels decided to book the Holiday Inn
Great hotel, very clean and very quiet, didnt see or hear anybody!
Rooms were spotless and very up to date! Great location 10 mins walk from the station and 5 mins walk from the bars and pubs....
Stayed on the 7th floor and the view was superb, only down side was my window was full of condensation, could hardley see out! Needs a new rubber strip probably....
didnt get up in time for Breakfast after a heavy night
Will definalty be staying here again if we come back....

Stayed here whilst at a weekend event. Very pleased with the stay - decent value for money. Hotel was quiet, room was clean and modern, and all the staff we encountered very friendly and helpful. Despite being opposite the bus station the double glazing mean there was little traffic noise. Will definitely stay again.

Every member of staff we meet during the evening of Saturday 21st and morning of Sunday 22nd March were wonderful. Especially the guy on reception and Mr Barnes that served our dinner.
Very family friendly staff.
Thank you, we will definitely return if we are ever in Preston again.

Arrived to find the advertised car park quite a way away over the bus depot, then checked in after carrying my bags quite a long way to a computer glitch on check in. Other than that check in ok.
The room was ok but nothing special a little small to spread out all of my things to do a little work.
The restaurant was ok for dinner but the waiter and waitress seemed to be pushing extra drinks a I was asked once if I wanted another but to be asked a second and both times to ask if I required more alcohol was a little pushy.
The room was noisy at night, I could hear the buses quite late into the night then again early in the morning.
Also in the morning you could hear motorbikes quite plain.
The bed was made in a way that I had to pull the blankets to get them over me as the room was not warm.
Breakfast was good except for the wait to be seated there was a que of 5 deep
breakfast was good with all you would expect.

Only stayed one night on business.
The first room I was allocated was a little on the small side and I asked to change it due to it having an adjoining door (I am a female travelling alone), the second room was much better, on the road side, but not noisy or disruptive. I had an evening meal in the restaurant, which was kind of pub food but good quality pub food.
Good choice of food at breakfast time.
If I revisit Preaton, I would stay here again.

Checked in later on in the day around 6pm and lots of people loitering in reception area so was abit confusing who had already been served and who had not but was checked in quickly and the reception staff were nice.
Room small but enough space, if I was going to be fussy a few more plug sockets would be nice especially if it was two girls sharing (we only had 2 plug sockets).
No problem coming back late at night, the lifts on the ground floor don't work so you have to walk past reception which I guess is to stop people bringing people back in after a night out!
Breakfast was annoying, we got to the breakfast bit and it said wait here to be seated, we waited 15 minutes and nobody came to tell us to sit down, couldnt find anyone to ask. We went back to reception but one receptionist on duty and there was a que so we went back into breakfast and just sat down. As soon as we sat down someone came over asking if we had booked, explained we had been waiting over 15 minutes at the entrance.
Check out was also irritating, one receptionist on duty and no less than 5 people waiting to check out, not good if you are in a rush and want to get gone.
Nice hotel, clean, friendly staff. Would stay again but could do with more staff especially peak times such as check out and breakfast.

I feel a bit sad about this because some of the staff were lovely and we did t use the less facilities but they looked well equipped but really the hotel was very basic and both ours and our sons room had a quite unpleasant smell. My daughter was there for the Ironman as we’re a lot of the guests but the hotel also had a wedding going on with a loud disco. I know hotels need to make their money but the noise from the disco did disrupt sleep which isn’t good if your doing 14 hours of exercise the next day! Having said that they were very helpful with the bike and did do an early - very early breakfast for the Ironmen! I think the rooms need upgrading. Also as I’m sure many places do - more staff in the evening - we went into the bar and every table needed clearing.
