Great welcome in particular Irene the bar lady was very hospitable and offered service with a warm smile. The front of house were helpful and accommodating. The welcome was much appreciated after a long and arduous journey. Very comfortable surroundings and excellent amenities.

Got a really good deal on a two night stay with my family. The price included breakfast and the use of the gym and pool facilities. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and Irene behind the bar made sure the drinks were flowing. The breakfast had everything you could need for a good start to the day and coming down a bit late,one morning was no problem for the chef to make up extra food for their absent minded guests.
The rooms were clean and all you needed for a comfortable stay
Will definitely return.

The hotel offers the standard Holiday Inn service and rooms. The staff are friendly but I had problems with checking in and room service however eventually it was sorted out. Car parking could be an issue as car park is small. The location is next to bus station and ring road so expect some noise.
Overall a good place to stay in Preston city centre.

City centre hotel offering usual Holiday Inn amenities. Car park very small but managed to find a space Check in quick and friendly. Asked for a high room and was given one on the top floor. Dinner bed and breakfast for the two of us for a very reasonable £115. Evening meal comprised of a very bland curry for me which was left, that said my wife had sea bass which she enjoyed. Had a great nights sleep, followed by a good buffet breakfast. All the staff we met were pleasant and polite. Overall a good stay

Stayed here for a party in Preston so it was only a base. But it's modern, nice bar, very good breakfast and the rooms are clean and well appointed. There's all you need including toiletries.
I'd stay there again. Staff very nice.

We enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn
As I had traveled from Yorkshire I was hoping to get a park at the front of the hotel luckily I did to my relief, as on the reviews people stated that it was a small car park.
Checking in was quick and easy, the staff on reception were very obliging with any queries. Our room, which was on the 7th floor was tidy and clean with comfy beds, ironing board and iron hairdryer and coffee and tea facilities.
We had Breakfast on both mornings that we stayed and there was a good choice of full English, continental, cereal and yoghurt and fresh fruit.
All the staff were very helpfull.
I remember this hotel from my younger days as the Crest Hotel. Brought back some memories of good times drinking in the bar.
I will definitely book again at this hotel .

I want to write a glowing review. Sadly I can't.
The hotel is situated on the A59 but that isn't a huge problem.
I arrived at about 8pm and found the 35 or so spaces in the car park fully occupied and therein lies the problem. The hotel has around 130 rooms. The lady on reception did advise that I could park in the car park next door at no cost or go to the other nearby car park and pay £4.50 for the evening. I parked next door but the issue is you have to vacate by 0700. So although my meeting was only 10 minutes drive away and wasn't due to start until 0900 I got up at 0630 to move my car into the HI car park. At that point the only space available was in an area that does say no parking so I accept the next bit. Having parked there...when I checked in I had to ask the receptionist to move her car so I could get out (I think staff park in that section). My point being parking is a significant problem here.
Check in was very good. The lifts worked fine and were good. The room was clean and tidy. I will say that the mattress was too soft as I sank straight into it and the next day felt a little achy. There was the usual pillow choice but I couldn't get comfortable because the bed allowed you to sink too far into it.
The shower took a little while to find the right temperature on but the pressure was fabulous.
I had a wine at the bar - great service from a happy chatty lady.
The TV didn't have subtitles on most channels (hard of hearing so I have the choice of upsetting the whole corridor or not watching tv). BNroadband was diabolical in the evening but just about acceptable in the morning.
Would I stay here again? I dont think so....I need the assurance of being able to park in a space in the hotel and not having to get early on a day when I know I'll be driving until 11pm. For me that was the deal breaker.

When you are away on business you are looking for an easy check in, a decent meal, a nice bed, awesome shower and a good breakfast! Staples I think!
The holiday inn delivers on the breakfast and dinner.
The parking issues makes this hotel rather unusual - having to walk through a bus station at 10pm with my clothes was not what I was expecting.
Shower is mediocre and room is average. I personally wouldn't stay here again due to the parking and therefore couldn't justify the slightly extra expense compared to a premier inn or Travelodge.
On a positive staff are really friendly and the bar / restaurant area is inviting and modern.
