I have stayed at the Holiday Inn, preston, several times. the location is ideal for business, the staff are friendly and teh rooms are spotless. breakfast is good and teh hotel is quiet considering that it is by a main road and opposite the bus station.
The only thing stopping me giving this hotel 5 stars is that the car park is tiny and I often find mysle flugging my bags across the road from the multi-storey above the bus station.
I will continue to use this hotel each time I visit Preston as its convenience and comfort far outweigh the lack of car park.

We stayed here about three years ago and were lucky enough to get a nice room with a fridge. This time the rooms don't look to have changed much and are beginning to look dated rather than stylish, and we had no fridge in our room which we had been looking forward to as it was a very hot day and would have liked to keep our drinks cold.
The room was clean but extremely hot and the windows only open a tiny amount providing no relief. The air conditioning wasn't working. We complained on our way out for tea and were told housekeeping would have a look while we were out. On our return the air conditioning still wasn't working but an iron and ironing board had been placed in our room?! Anyway the lady on reception moved us to another room with air conditioning that worked.
Bed was extremely uncomfortable with a very thin cheap mattress, not what I expected for what I have previously thought of as an upper market hotel.
Location is good to walk to the town centre. Car park is tiny for the size of the hotel however we were lucky enough to get a space. Be careful where you park though as other inconsiderate guests can make getting your car back out in the morning extremely difficult. There is a multi storey car park over the road though and discounted tickets can be bought at the hotel reception at £4 for 24 hours.
Breakfast looked like it had been sat for a while and the bacon would have been great to resole your boots. Staff weren't friendly and bubbly as I would have expected, they gave us the impression we were just getting in the way.
Overall it did the job but we weren't impressed.

Stayed here with my partner for 5 nights in April 2014. Very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Breakfast and evening meals enjoyable. Not noisy in the evening despite it's closeness to bus station and shopping. Very small car park but were still able to get a space. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

had to stay in Preston an extra night due to business, I asked reception if they had a room ready at 1030 and they found one for me immediately and allowed me to check in. Hotel has a small car park which is handy and at no cost unlike some of the other central hotels. Rooms were clean and tidy and breakfast really good. Only downside was the noise from the main ring road which at times sounded like New York due to the amount of sirens, but I didn't pick the hotel for location, may affect people with children at night

This Holiday Inn is of a very good standard throughout and I could not fault it in any way. It did not excel really in anything, but provided an overall level of comfort with which we were well satisfied.
The rooms were of a good size and most comfortable, the bathroom was adequate for our needs and there were ample tea/coffee provisions with all the usual toiletries. Air conditioning in the room is a bonus for warm evenings. Standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel was also high as was the service provided. All staff appeared efficient, polite and helpful. Breakfast was very good too with a wide choice all well presented. Overnight parking is not a problem despite being in central Preston. This Holiday Inn is located only 5 minutes walk from the city centre, where there is ample shopping provided by all the main stores, but there is also a good park not too far distant. I well recommend this hotel therefore, provided nightly tariffs remain competitive.

Stayed as a stop over en route to Lake District. Around ten - fifteen minute walk to train station and adjacent to space age brutalist bus station-see photo. Good accommodation and nice breakfast served by friendly staff. Amazing cheap rates-around £60 for two.

Stayed at Mercure for one night, do the rooms get cleaned? Not properly. Loads of noise, couldn’t sleep, bar comfortable and the lady serving was lovely (Irene). Go for breakfast, the food might not be great but the staff are especially julie, she’ll make you smile, what a personality 😂
