Friendly helpful staff. We received a complimentary upgrade to a stylishly refurbished suite. Plenty of free on site parking. Very competitively priced. A few signs of wear and tear in some communal areas but generally very good. We enjoyed a pleasant meal in the restaurant . We will return if was come back to the area.

This hotel itself is great, we stayed for one evening for our company Christmas party and enjoyed the use of the leisure facilities and had a nice meal in the lounge bar. The party night itself was great, however the food was very disappointing, barely warm tomato soup was followed by a main course which consisted of three potatoes, four spouts and a sliver of turkey, which resembled a microwave meal for one, the only saving grace was the cheesecake desert which was nice. We had been considering the hotel for our forthcoming wedding, however having been served a below par meal we have swiftly struck it off our list as a possible option.

We stayed for 3 nights, Friday to Monday. The hotel itself is quite tired in appearance, it definitely needs a fresh lick of paint and some updates on the furnishings in the room. I have been to other Mercure hotels and all have had a few additional furnishings in the room which have lent to a nicer feel in the rooms, the Georgian is very basic. Unfortunately there were two parties on over Friday and Saturday night which went on till very late so none of our party got any sleep until the Sunday night when there wasn’t any event on. It would’ve been nice if a little more common sense had gone into room allocation and put our party furthest away from the event and anyone staying for just the one night on the night of the party where put on the first floor, so as to minimise the disruption. The party goers where very disruptive to several members of our party late into the night.
The food was abysmal I have to say, the vegetables were obliterated and completely inedible, which was a great disappointment.
However the staff were very friendly and the saving grace of the hotel.
Oh the official pictures here of the hotel are very generous to say the least, a little rose tinted I would say!

The room was clean, tidy and the bed was comfy. The bathroom is in need of a refurb, the flush didn’t always work. The facilities (pool, sauna, steam room etc) were nice enough. The jacuzzi could do with a tidy up. We didn’t try any of the food so can’t comment on that.

We were impressed with the revamp this hotel has had - it felt very modern, nice new decor, good looking reasonable sized rooms, a very comfortable bed.
We also liked the roller doors used in the place of curtains - they keep out the light and looked very modern.
We didn't use the restaurant at night so I can't comment on the evening meal (we went out into Preston for our night out) - however we had the choice of a good range of food and drinks in the morning in the pleasant and stylish restaurant - we were very happy with with our cooked breakfast - which set us up for the day.
The staff were all helpful and friendly.
The hotel is near to the part of Preston we wanted to be near and had an onsite car park which was convenient. We will use this hotel when we next visit Preston.

I stayed here for a few nights in February. This hotel is situated in a good city centre location, parking is a bit sparse though, maybe 30 cars? but there is a multi storey next door above the bus station. The hotel is nice and clean, good rooms and a good night sleep - in room internet free and I think wi-fi in the lobby is too, but I did not check this - I hope so because this is the way hotels are going now - and not charging daft sums - so well done Holiday Inn Preston - its a pity the rest of the Holiday Inn chain has not caught on yet. All the staff, especially the breakfast staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a reasonable bar food menu for the evening as well as a restuarant - Don`t see the point of noisy TVs in the bar area though - blaring away when nobody is watching - especially the football! I would definitely stay here again and I recommend the hotel. Well done

I was at the Holiday Inn Preston for 2 night last week, I once stayed there some 10 years or so ago. I must admit I did not recognise the Hotel, the refurbishment has breathed fresh life into the old buildings. My room was on the 2nd floor and was clean and tidy, although a little on the small side. The usual problem with this hotel is the parking as there are only about 30 spaces you have to lug your cases across from the bus station NCP, pay for the hotels £4 parking ticket and then walk all the way back again to put the ticket on your car. Sorry if this sounds a bit petty, but after a hard days work & having driven 200 miles I could really do without that hastle.
Overall a pleasant hotel, I found it to be a bit noisy (on the city centre ring road) with the associated parking hastle, but modern, clean and comfortable rooms.

My husband and I stayed for one night at the Holiday Inn, Preston. The room was on the 7th (highest) floor and was very comfortable and clean. Toiletries were provided in the bathroom along with tea and coffee facilities (including decent sized mugs). The staff were very helpful and the food in the restaurant (both evening meal and breakfast) were of a very good standard. The only real downside to the hotel is that it has a very small carpark (only 30 spaces) which were all full when we arrived but we were allowed to park next to the traffic island and no damage was done to the car despite the reduced room to manoeuvre. Overall a good nights stay.

Just a quick overnight in the HI, Preston. Weather outside was awful, so stayed indoors. Hotel was a bit chilly but the room was plenty warm. For £60 for 2 incl breakfast it was fine - room clean, service good, food ok. Couple of minor snags in the room and the bed could have done with a new mattress ! but overall, hit the spot. Only real grouse was the lack of car parking - we used free street parking about 500m away.... not the end of the world. Would have appreciated wifi in the room also....

Arrived late after a terrrifying trip through a blizzard. Very speedy, efficient & friendly check-in. Both rooms were ready, lovely and warm AND contained additional treats of Creme Eggs, a fizzy drink and water. Both of my daughters were delighted. Went to bar for a drink, again received good service. Daughters each ordered a pudding as a 'night cap'. the standard of these was sufficiently high that I wish we'd been able to eat more extensively here.
Had a good night's sleep, and breakfast was excellent - one of the widest selections I have seen at a Holiday Inn branded hotel.
Car park is small, and it is a slight pain to park in car park by bus station. But it is close and cheap - £6 for 24 hours.
