Having just returned home to N. Ireland after staying there from 7th to 10th Sept. I have the following to report. Was greeted on the 1st floor were the reception is located. I was welcomed by Georgia who also welcomed me as a IGH member. Her induction into the hotel was excellent. She was also had an excellent response to some technically diffulties to our room and immediately rectifying them whilst not inconvenience us in anyway. She also handled our checkout efficiently and answering my questions on my next stay regarding a room with a walk in shower. The receptionist Dina was excellent and had a good company of local knowledge and directions as regards to restaurants and shops. Dina had written a list of restaurants and the type of cuisine they had to offer. They were all excellent choices. Katherine we meant was also excellent and was able to give us advice with the university and places to stay for our grand daughter who we brought over to start her course next week. These girls are definitely an asset to the hotel. Lastly Lee the waiter in the bar to which we frequently was very friendly and very efficient in his job. He gave us place of interest to visit as far a field as Halifax to see where the series Gentleman Jack was filmed and also Hadrian's Wall. He provided us with post codes of these attraction to make them easier to find. We ate in the restaurant along with our grand daughter to which the food and service was excellent. Only drawback was the limited parking spaces but the staff direct you to a reasonably price car park. There are 2 disables spaces in the hotel which I was able to use with my card but I observed on 2voccasion that a large pickup truck use one of the spaces. I hope the management would be able to resolve this problem should another disabled person would wish to use it. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again when we return to visit our grand daughter at a later date.

My wife, son and parents all had a wonderful stay here when visiting Blackpool. My bedroom was an accessible room as we had our 3 year old son with us and there was a pull-out bed for him which was perfect. Given that it was an accessible room it was smartly designed to feel although you were just in an Executive bedroom.
The size was great and spotlessly clean. My parents just had a standard double bedroom which was slightly small but it served a purpose for sleeping and showering. Exactly what they needed and well appointed and clean like my bedroom.
We didn't eat in the Restaurant other than breakfast and only had a few drinks from the bar. The service we received was as expected.
Parking is very limited - there's a multi-story across the road though.
I'd definitely return.

Stayed for business.
Katherine on reception made the reservation for me and was professional and efficient.
The food and breakfast’s were lovely , thanks to Lorraine for all your help at breakfast.
The hotel is modern, clean, has free parking and is in a great location.
Rooms are spacious and have everything in there for the business traveller.
All the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Big thanks to Gary for looking after my bag and made checkout easy and straightforward.
It was great to see all the staff adhering to COVID guidelines and I felt reassured they had taken the necessary steps to make the hotel a safe place to stay and had obviously worked hard to achieve this.

Hotel stays can be rather soulless at the moment and sometimes you feel you'd rather have not bothered. Not so here, where there is a warm welcome and a genuine desire to ensure the guests enjoys their stay.
As I've visited a few times before, its easy to see it isn't quite the same as it was, but with some thoughtful touches and the bonus of a freshly cooked room service breakfast, it is still a nice place to be.
Well done Holiday Inn Preston, and hope you're back to normal again soon.

Thank you to all of the staff at the Holiday Inn Preston. Keeping the hotel open during the lockdown has been so important for many key workers as in particular this did not effect the training course of my new job.
You have all gone above and beyond to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. Nothing is too much trouble. You’ve had to adapt to new ways of working at short notice and dealt with any minor issues in a speedy and professional manner.
Michelle and Georgia are fantastic managers and the F&B team Kamila, Fekri, Sean, Tammy plus the breakfast ladies are the best in the business.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

I spent 10 days at this hotel on 2 business trips and was very happy with the service, location and the quality of the stay. The rooms were a good size and comfortable, not to mention very clean. The staff couldn't do enough to help out and the service was impeccable. The air conditioning in the rooms is also very good. I'd stay here again without any hesitation.

Lovely and clean, with everything you could need in the rooms.
Modern clean decor- breakfast was good but did have to ask for poached eggs not to sent out the same time as my fruit salad.
Convenient to go out exploring or going into town.
We also caught the train to Liverpool, which is definitely worth a visit.
We stay here about twice a year and the team especially the manger go out of their way to accommodate us.
It’s not the most plush hotel but everything is spotless, meals in the bar are just the same as any chain, basic pub grub but well presented and tasty. All of the team are friendly and helpful.
Thank you for making our stay pleasant and we will be back in a few months.

An excellent hotel, the staff are all absolutely superb and can't do enough to help. The room itself was clean and tidy, and the air conditioning was an absolute godsend on the night I was there.
Only minor gripe is the limited parking, but there's a multi-storey car park two minutes walk away.
Oh and the breakfast was very tasty as well.

The staff were all so friendly and helpful, we really couldn’t have asked for more. The kitchen staff were brilliant and looked after our party of 8 so well. Bar and reception were cheerful, welcoming and helpful. Very happy with our overnight stay.
