Stayed at the Holiday Inn because of the good value I thought it would represent. Rooms were as expected; quite typical small rooms with a typical bathroom where it's hard to turn around without thinking about the size of the room. But; this is what I come to expect in a typical british hotel, so I get along with it with no extra troubles.
Short way to the city center, although we hitched a taxi both "downtown" and to Deepdale.
Pros:
- £20 pr person pr night is good value for me!
- Every aspect of the hotel was ok, and that was what I was looking for.
Cons:
- No free wifi - sign up for Holiday Inns costumer program and you get free wifi, though.
- Typical small room and bathroom.
If you want something special you don't visit the Holiday Inn Preston (maybe not Preston either...) If you anyhow are in Preston and need a fairly priced place to sleep, the Holiday Inn might be a wise choice for you.

I stayed here with a friend in a twin room for one night.
The hotel is in a convenient location for the town centre and also within easy access of major roads. There is a pay and display car park next door which only cost us £3.80 for 24 hours.
Our room was spotlessly clean and whilst nothing fancy it had everything we could have needed. The curtains kept all light out and the beds were comfortable with a choice of firm/soft pillows, however I have marked sleep quality down for the fact that the sound-proofing is terrible and as our room was right next to the lifts we could hear people coming and going almost constantly: most them were also slamming doors and shouting which is not the hotels fault but we shouldn't have been able to hear so much noise.
Besides the noise the only other negative I can think of is that the staff member who checked us out tried to charge me for the room, despite the fact I'd already paid.
All in all a good basic hotel and I'd be happy to stay there again, but would request a room located away from the lifts.

We stayed for 2 nights in January and couldn't fault our experience. The room was £44 a night and you would expect a basic service for that. However, the rooms were lovely with individual temperature control, a lovely powerful shower, haidryer, a selection of biscuits, flat screen TV and even a pillow menu amongst other things.
The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly - overall I was very impressed and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

I dont understand some of the reviews as I thought this hotel was fine! Me and my partner stayed there as we were having a night out and the location is a short walk from the bars and restaurants. The room was spacious and clean, the bathroom was lovely and modern and the beds were very comfy. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. There is a small car park and luckily we were able to get a space. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Got a fantastic deal on this hotel via the Daily Mail on a 2 nights for 1 offer. The hotel is situated next to the bus station, so its ideally placed for the shops, bars and restaurants. Check in was performed with the utmost efficiency and professionalism. The room on the 6th floor, although not massive was clean, comfortable and had a good view over the northern part of town. The caribbean carnival was on while we were at Preston and was enjoyable. I wouldnt hessitate for a second to return to this hotel.

Stayed here on a trip wih family and friends. +tive - The hotel is band in the middle of Preston, probably the tallest building in Preston with its own car park. Breakfast staff very helpful. -tive - small car park, when we called up we were told it was first come first serve basis but was overheard a guest saying to reception that he did not find a space though he booked a parking space, so obviously the info on the phone was wrong. In the end the manager agreed to let me block two cars and park on the condition that I would move my car at time during the night, must say the manager was very accommodative on this count. To top it up this is a free car park. the Building is ageing and it needs a complete refurbishment. This hotel does not have any sofa beds at all.

In September 2017, Valerie F said about Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
We were staying here as we had organised a family gathering nearby to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. It is in a very convenient location for motorway for family members travelling from Scotland, Leicester, Ireland, Nottingham and Oxford as well as locally. We stayed four nights and were very satisfied - room was lovely, bed very comfy and the food was excellent. The only fault was the service in the dining room in the evening, the waiters/waitresses were really good and I know were a little embarrassed at the time it took the food to arrive at table, when the food eventually arrived I have to say it was very good indeed. All the staff at this hotel were extremely pleasant and helpful which makes all the difference to any hotel.

In September 2017, Kate W said about Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Warm and friendly welcome at the Mercure Bolton . I had a family room which even with three beds had room to move in! I ate in the restaurant , food was nicely presented and cooked well. The hotel has lots of parking and is a good base to explore the local area which has good walking nearby. I would have scored the rooms more highly but the the rooms and the hotel could do with some refurbishment.
