Just got back from a one night stay at the Holiday Inn, generally everything was ok, but nothing special.
The staff were friendly in a scripted kind of way, but thats common in these big chain hotels. They took a swipe of my credit card on check in, but when I tried to charge dinner to my room, it was not possible, apparently the swipe on check in only guaranteed me for the room rate, this needs to be addressed because many guests charge things to their rooms when staying in hotels, especially at a chain like Holiday Inn. I was also informed that paying for dinner with my Amex card would incur a £3.50 charge!
The room was fine, clean and functional and quite modern, beds were comfortable.
The food in the hotel was one of the big positives for me, breakfast and dinner both very nice, so would not hesitate to have dinner here again next time I stay.
I came to Preston on public transport, but I can see why previous reviews talked about the car parking at the holiday inn - the car park was tiny, maybe 20 spaces maximum, and some cars were even parked on the double yellow lines in the car park outside of the spaces. Would be extremely irritiating to arrive here after a very long drive and not be able to park. I appreciate this is not the hotel's fault though.
Overall the hotel was fine and I would have no problem staying here again in the future.

Stayed here as had a night out in Preston, although there was no atmposphere it did the job, breakfast was OK although becasue it was quiet it seemed the food had been out for a while
If i was staying in Preston again i would stay here because of location

Stayed at the hotel last week on business. Got a decent room overlooking the bus station. The hotel seemed very clinical and was OK for one night. The bed was comfy and I slept well until the room above came back and were very noisy. Breakfast was good, but the eggs seemed to have been out a while. The only negative thing about this hotel is the car parking....I was too late to get one of the hotel spaces and had to park in a rather grotty car park above the bus station. I really wasn't happy about leaving my car there! Staff were helpful and friendly throughout my stay. Like I say, a good hotel for one night!

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very tasty, staff working in the breakfast room also very friendly, stopping here again in a couple of weeks. The rooms are clean, modern and tidy. We were in the roof and the room was spacious, even had a sofa.

Stayed several times for work over the years and had a Christmas party there. Comfortable rooms, all you need to work. Reasonable food. A little way from town. Nice pool, great in the winter.
Good selection of beers. I prefer the rooms on the outside.

This hotel, although having a building which is 'tired' in places, is a fabulous place to stay. The rooms are comfortable, the staff very helpful and friendly. The food is very good, except for the lemon on the breakfast mushrooms. Excellent venue for special occasions including Weddings. The Suite in amazing, the only think it lacks is a set of drawers and an adjustable showerhead. Having the separate lounge in the suite is invaluable.

In January 2018, Richard B said about Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Visited in January whilst working in the area , arrived to be greeted by a lovely young lady on the reception who was knowledgeable and helpful.
The room was pleasant but a little dated it contained a four poster bed ,small sofa and desk. The bathroom was in need of a lick of paint but ok .
Wasn’t sure as to the spa area but the receptionist went out of her way to show me where everything was.
Went down to use the sauna and pool which was clean and tidy .
The only down side was the bar prices but was expected to be pricey.
Overall pleasant experience but could do with a lick of paint and a little TLC.
