I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn in Preston overnight in readiness for early meeting the following morning. The hotel was easy to find and had good parking directly outside, and in the town centre. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The room was basic, but clean and a good size. I got a decent corporate rate and paid less than £50 for a double bed. Overall very good.....

I always stay here when i am working in Preston. They are really accommodating, front desk very helpful and never say no to trying to help.
Rooms are good, as is the points system for loyalty members.
Restaurant has different “weeks” with Steak week and Pie week for example (or you can choose either bar menu or full restaurant menu - loads of choice).
Main thing that goes a long way is the staff’s attitude which is just lovely so friendly and helpful, including front desk, bar, restaurant and room service.

I have stayed at this hotel a couple of time recently and every time there is a warm welcome and I'm made to feel valued. The location is within easy walking distance of the city centre. The rooms are comfy and well equipped. The food offering is limited but all items are very tasty and reasonably priced. The only down side is the car park is tiny and there can be issues with parking if you arrive late.

city centre location but with a small car park. the rooms are what you would expect from HI - clean tidy with all mod cons. The bar & restaurant area is very large , which meant there was plenty of space but did lack atmosphere. Our bar meal was OK - burnt burger for one of us, but our bill was adjusted without us even asking. The breakfast was large scale fully cooked or continental- the cooked was constantly refreshed & was lovely & hot (not the case in some HI's) Its best attribute was the staff: very helpful , friendly, attentive & smiling , that was reception, behind the bar, the whole breakfast team - very impressive. & its the people that can make or break a hotel & in Preston they are first class .

I have stayed here several times for business trips, and have always found the members of staff extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is conveniently situated close to the city centre, but is not noisy, and it has easy links to motorways. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The food is very good and there is plenty of it!! Breakfast provides proper porridge, which is a bonus, and the poached eggs are always perfectly cooked. The restaurant staff are top class, especially the breakfast teams. There is on site parking. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

I was really impressed by every aspect of this inexpensive hotel. Spotless room, comfy beds (including choice of soft or firm pillow!), very quiet on the 7th floor. Breakfast better than at a lot of far grander places. Properly made porridge and superb bacon from a local farm. Staff on reception and at breakfast absolutely charming - it really doesn’t feel like a chain. I guess it’s slightly odd giving it a 5 as the building affords some of the grimmest views of ring roads and car parks in Britain! But they can’t help that and I don’t think they could have done more to make my stay more pleasant. Next time I need an inexpensive chain hotel I’d definitely choose this one.

I had the privilege to stay at the Holiday Inn Preston on a 3 night stay - whilst I was working and looking after a young gentleman by the name of Matthew, he is Severely Autistic with challenging behavioural problems. I must say the staff working here are truly exceptional. The management ensured nothing was too much trouble, they had reserved a disabled bay prior to our arrival, the room allocated was spacious, scrupulously clean and the beds were really comfortable. The breakfast selection was vast, fresh, cooked well, the quality of the hot 'n' cold food on offer was remarkable. Most important feature of this hotel is it's core staff, they are all truly professional, attentive, courteous and work extremely well together as a team. The front of house staff ensured nothing was too much trouble so special thanks to "Georgia Crosskell" and "Dina Modsia" you are both extremely true professionals, very attentive and dedicated individuals. Special thanks to "Lee Stevenson" who worked in the restaurant who had the patience of a saint so again much appreciated. Also the pleasant chap who went over and above anyone else and above his own work remit - "Matthew Ashcroft" who I believed worked in the Maintenance Dept, can I just say a special thank you for your help and cooperation during our stay it didn't go unnoticed, if anyone deserves recognition for Employee of the Month I hope you Matthew Ashcroft are considered along with the other named employees. Finally I would just like to say a special thank you to the General Manager of this establishment "Michelle Lonsdale" who ensured our planned visit went like clockwork. A true manager who runs a very well organised hotel which I understand is owned by Centre Island but is licenced to the IHG Group, this company should be very proud you have an exceptional manager in post. Thank you all once again.

My main issue with this hotel was the car park. It's tiny and usually full. There is a large multi-storey car park (bus station) opposite the hotel but this was closed for construction during my visit. I found another multi-storey about 10 mins walk away, which was ok but not great if you're arriving late at night and having to walk from there with bags. And of course you have to pay to use it.
The hotel room was good. Very clean, wooden shutters on windows to keep out the noise from the main road, comfortable bed, loads of hot water etc etc. No problems there at all, although on the small side for £99 per night. It's more like a £75 room.
I didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on the food, but the bar/restaurant looked busy everytime I walked past.
Hotel reception staff were friendly & welcoming.

Nicely placed hotel within easy walking distance of the town centre , car park is a bit small but we always found a space. Room was very clean only criticism was the shower setting was temperamental couldn't quite get the right water temperature either too hot or cold, the rest of the family staying with us did not have this problem in their rooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay.

Stayed overnight on way to coast. Reception was excellent and well noted my Gold Card.
Room was on 6th floor with good views of the city. Very comfortable although furnishings a bit dated. Bathroom absolutely fine with good shower and bath.Beds and pillows were super comfortable.
Had dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was "steak week" with very good medium prices. The steaks were perfectly cooked to our requirement and the staff were really nice.
Same can be said for the breakfast with big choice of hot and cold foods.
Overall we were very pleased with our stay. Very good value for the money.
