We had our daughter's wedding reception recently at Bashall Barn in Clitheroe - a beautiful plae but not residential. The chief bridesmaid, who works for the Holiday Inn group, organisaed rooms for everyone travelling from out of time - we bused them alll from Clitheroe. Although we only live a short distance away, we decided to stay with the rest including our daughter, new son-in-law and his parents. We arrived about 2.15 a.m. but the receptionist was not in the least fazed by a crowd at that time and on the desk was a "congratulations" to Helen and John - a lovely touch! We had left our bag the night before and it was in our room which was lovely and comfortable - just what we needed. Breakfast next morning was first rate - we wished we could have stayed longer! Our son and his family are from Edinburgh so arrived the day before for a two-night stay. We met them for a meal and the only thing I would say is that I thought the menu was expensive - on the other hand the waiter was attentive and sorted out a meal suitable for our 14-month old grand-daughter.

Stayed here mid week on business & generally thought the place was an average Holiday Inn. Location is pretty good & in walkable distance of the town centre, but unfortunately the location comes with traffic noise & parking at a premium. Unfortunately, I had to use the NCP, but it was lashing down with rain when I arrived.
Rooms were clean & functional & the staff were pretty efficient & friendly. Ok for a one night business stay, but wouldn't want to stay longer.

Typical 70/80s concrete curve. My room was small and a little tired. The road noise (if on the Ringway side) could be distracting. Ask for a room on the bus station side ( but don't expect a view). The aircon was unobtrusive. I rarely leave it running overnight, even if its hot(as it was), as most make too much noise. The restaurant has solid fare. Almost pub food really, but tasty and the staff very friendly. location is handy for Preston centre, a short walk, and in ten minutes you can be wandering the banks of the Ribble too. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to stay here, but acceptable value for an older hotel.

Hotel in good value for money. Rooms are a bit dated but you get what you pay for. Food is normally great, (I stay 2 or 3 times a month) but tonight the chicken was very chewey, tasted amazing but struggled to swallow. If you’re looking for average place not too expensive then this is ok. If you want a special weekend away the book somewhere else.

The Hotel is perfectly adequate for the price at only £69 per night including breakfast. Bar and public area's a bit sparse, plain and simple but again adequate , Bedrooms a bit tired and in need of redecoration . Paint peeling off the wall and off the skirting in the bathroom. However the bed was large and comfortable and the room clean. As mentioned Ok for the price as paid.

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.
