Stayed here whilst attending a wedding locally. First impression wasn't to bad but our room (218) was desperate for a refurb.
Although spacious, the room was outdated and worn throughout. The bed was comfy and bedding clean. The room itself was unbelievably hot with no circulating air even with the window open.
The bathroom was extremely worn and old fashioned especially the tiles. The shower leaked and the shower curtain barely covered enough of the bath allowing water to spray out onto the clearly uneven floor and pooled under the toilet.
Breakfast was acceptable though at 10am (breakfast served till 1030) no further fresh food was brought out so had to do with what was left.
Staff friendly and helpful. Could be lovely if updated.

I have spent many nights in Holiday Inns whilst away with work - and to be honest many were quite tired looking. The Ringway Hotel - is typically Holiday Inn, but for me the difference was made by the helpfulness of the staff. They sorted out a hiccup with my booking straight away and even got me a better deal. The Hotel it's self was tidy enough and my room was clean and recently decorated. The bar / lounge area also looked as if it had a recent facelift. All in all a pleasant one night stay whilst working in Preston.

Hate staying at hotels for work but at the holiday inn for the next 4 months...the one thing that makes it an enjoyable stay is the people working there.
Lucianne was brilliant in the bar. Always available, professional and a great laugh as well. She is a credit to the hotel and really made the stay. Very refreshing and one of the only reasons I will continue to use the holiday inn for the next 4 months.
Joanne and Kerry were also great and made sure that everything we needed was sorted before going up. Couldn't ask for more off this pair, complete legends.
Food is fine, what you would expect and the rooms are clean and well maintained. Parking is pretty poor, often having to find people blocking you in or blocking others in.
Overall though, want to say a huge thank you to Lucianne, Joanne and Kerry for making a great place to be away from home and the only reason I will continue using the holiday inn whilst away on work.

We stayed here on a coach trip before going to the Isle of Man.The hotel is clean and spacious and we slept really well considering the central location and early start for traffic.The food was a bit meagre but I expect that was to do withe the budget as it was a coach party.It was tasty though so no complaints there and the breakfast was excellent.

We stayed as part of a group package with the Frog & Bucket comedy club. The rooms are very good and clean. The bar area was great. The selection at breakfast was excellent. The only problem was the small car park, but there is a large multi story car park next door.

Overnight stay on way up to Pitlochry with Shearings Holidays
Usual Holiday Inn Standards,good room-very clean and modern.
Food choice was a bit limited,but that was because we were on a Coach Holiday,only downside
it was chaos at Breakfast-could not cope with 2 Coaches at the same Time-Breakfast was ok

Was a bit surprised at the last reviews as I found it excellent for a 3star hotel, the room was excellent very clean the bathroom was also very clean with fresh towels and a nice size bath, the shower was very powerful and there was shampoo and shower gel provided, parking is limited to first come first served which is fair, there is parking right facing the hotel, the staff at breakfast where excellent and cleared away very quickly, the choice was very good with hot and cold food available from cereal and fruits to porrige, and a full English hot breakfast, you would be poor to complain about the selection offered as there was a great choice for breakfast, although only stayed for one night would happily stay again, it's about two miles to the hotel from the M6 so easy to get back to the motorway and a short walk to the city centre

We have been staying here for a lot of years and its main attraction is its location, it is only a short walk to the city centre and very close to an excellent Chinese restaurant called Great Times. Great prices can be found online for this hotel, I used the holiday inn app and got a double room for a Friday night for £39, breakfast was £10 extra per couple which is excellent value as it is an all you can eat style buffet catering for all tastes. The rooms are alway clean, the staff are very helpful. The only thing that I'd say against this hotel is the lack of car parking outside the hotel, there aren't enough spaces for the numbers of rooms but you can park at the adjacent multistorey carpark but we prefer to have the car where we can see it from the hotel.

Good location with excellent rooms and facilities.Attitude of staff was excellent,Value for money was also excellent.
Problem with limited car parking for guests - made worse by staff grabbing lots of the spaces for their own cars.Not very good and we were not impressed.We wondered if the Hotel General Manager condoned this.
Would stay again - will arrive in good time to secure parking place.Parking issue took the edge off a really good stay.

The wedding rooms were lovely but the bar was expensive. The bed was comfortable and the room was fine but not very modern. We couldn't leave the window open as it was noisy so it was very warm. Hotels.com said the rooms had air conditioning but they didn't unfortunately.
