In July 2016, Keith B said about Holiday Inn Preston
Although very close to a number of very busy roads and very much in the center of things we found it quiet. We were part of a coach trip to Scotland and it was just an overnight stay. The staff were very helpful and our room was fine with every thing that you would need for a longer stay. The food was very good having both an evening meal and also breakfast. I would use this hotel again.

Helpful friendly welcoming staff making our stay very pleasant. Situated in very near to Preston town centre with limited parking (though there is ample public parking nearby)
We stayed on 7th floor so a bit of traffic noise from the ring road below but nice views across Preston......
The best feature for us was to have a real choice of TWO, yes, two interesting and very tasty vegetarian main courses in the restaurant. (They were NOT the usual vegetarian lasagne or mushroom risotto)
Only downside was our room on the 7th floor, which was a bit tired with scrubby carpets and with peeling veneer on the surface tops.
Recommended.

Pleasant room on the top floor with great views. Comfortable bed. Just what you'd expect.
All the staff were friendly and efficient and seemed pleased to see us - not really like a "chain" hotel at all!
But the star of the show must be the chef. Overall standard of food was excellent at the 1 breakfast and 2 lunches we had - but within that, three real winners:
fresh, real, hand-cut grapefruit segments and fruit salad at breakfast;
good, proper ham in a ham and cheese panini;
and the special of the day wasn't available for our early lunch because he hadn't cooked it yet - a really good sign! Very impressive for a hotel of this sort.
We were really pleased we stayed there.

In August 2016, Tara said about Holiday Inn Preston
Absolutely lovely place to stay the staff were all friendly and very helpful and had a good sense of humour. Breakfast was out of this world well and truly worth the price! Very clean too. A big đź‘Ť from me. Also very near and easy to get to night entertainment, restaurants plenty to go too & all friendly. We also spent a day in Blackpool only a twenty odd minutes drive or catch a bus if you don't want to drive. Defiantly worth a visit plenty to do and see..

Booked here for August Bank Holiday weekend to visit friends who live locally. All staff were a pleasure to meet and the Chef delivered high class food at each request. Yes the view might not be great, but what can be expected from a city centre hotel? Noise levels from traffic were not a problem. The closeness to the amenities more than makes up for that. Rooms a little dated, but clean and tidy.

Central location, nestling close by the 'interesting' architecture of Preston Bus Station and Guildhall.
Interesting room too, with Japanese-style sliding window shutters in place of curtains and comfortable enough, if a little dated.
Very pleasant and helpful staff and good and good-value breakfast, marred only by the dark hot watery and rather unpleasant liquid served as coffee. But that's not particularly unusual in most UK hotels.
All in all, based on our stay, amply deserves a 'very good' rating

In September 2016, mark b said about Holiday Inn Preston
Typical holiday inn other than our allocated room which was tiny.
There wasn't even a table to put our breakfast tray on.
No heated rail in bathroom to dry towels.
I suppose the room will be fine if you are only doing a short overnight stay, but we were staying for a couple of nights.
