I have stayed several times in early 2026 and the whole team at the Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel made me feel so welcome and at home. Alexis and the team at Reception were extremely accommodating, and Irene in the bar/restaurant couldn't have been more kind and helpful. Delicious latte! The bed was super comfortable and the room very quiet. The breakfast is good value for money too (only £9 if you order the night before). I had a lovely view of Rivington Pike and the moors.

Stayed here 12 April to break up a long car journey from Scotland to Kent. Lovely hotel - clean and very well priced. Food tasty and no long wait. Staff friendly and efficient. A particular shout out to Irene, who served us tonight. A lovely, caring lady, who really couldn’t have done more to make us feel comfortable and who went way beyond the extra mile. I wish every hotel had an Irene.

Great stopover en route to the Lakes. Incredible service from the lovely Irene in the bar area, who kept me fed and watered whilst I worked. Nothing was too much trouble and she really is fantastic.

In January 2018, Kevin K said about Holiday Inn Preston
I stayed at this hotel for several nights very recently. Hotel is clean and comfortable and in a good location. Parking is very limited, but there is ample parking close by in the bus station multi storey car park.
What really makes this hotel worthy of a special mention are the staff.
Every single member of staff was friendly, helpful and really did go the extra mile to make my stay special.

In February 2018, juejosh said about Holiday Inn Preston
Stayed here when attending a function in late January '18; there is a small carpark onsite, which seems to fill rather quickly - you must enter your registration into a computer at reception to get free parking.
Reception is on the first floor not the ground floor, there is a lift, but, should you be going out and returning after 10pm, the lift is turned off!!! There is a button to press if, like me, you have mobility issues and cant take the stairs, however, if like me, you get no response you may need to be accompanied by and able bodied guest who can climb the stairs to alert staff to your need to use the lift; hopefully the staff are more polite to you than they were to my friend who tried to bring to the staffs attention my plight - he was treated very rudely, and then told I would have to wait till he was not busy at the bar, as there was only him serving - clearly putting making money above the well being of guests needs. Very disappointing attitude to a situation the hotel itself has created to cause a problem for disabled guests.
This sole issue aside, the hotel is nice and the rooms are comfortable, and all you would expect from a holiday inn. We stayed in room 513 and were perfectly happy with the room and its amenities (except for it being a twin when we had requested a double) and would probably stay here again - but obviously only with an able bodied assistant who can help should I be returning late. Central location is good.

I stayed at the hotel due to business meetings in centre of Preston. Great location, close to everything.
Car park is smallish but there's a big multi storey right across the road above the bus station.
When checking in there was a sign saying that there was forecast for high winds and a bowl of earplugs to try and dampen the noise from weather.
I took a pair and slept like a baby, didn't hear a thing. The bed was really comfy, room was clean and to a high standard.
All the staff were extremely friendly and professional. I ordered room service which was fast and main was delicious.
I had a slight issue with the dessert however after notifying the staff the wee room service man chapped my door to discuss. He was very polite.
Breakfast was good. Lots of choice, although I'd have liked porridge too!
Overall good dtay, just what you expect from Holiday Inn.
