It is ok to stay but car park is not big enough so no parking spaces, food is so so and rooms are close to needing refurbishment. Ok to stay but not worth the premium price

very friendly and kind staff. unfortunately even on sixth floor there was a fair amount of road noise and noise transfer between floors. usual holiday inn furnishings and standard breakfast assortment. nice level of comfort for a nights stay. For strangers to the area please note the bus carpark opposite is reasonably priced but will only take coins or app payment.

Stayed for overnight trip to Deepdale. Hotel is ideally sited for a short walk from Preston Mainline Rail Station and Deepdale itself. Nice bar and eating area and comprehensive buffet breakfast. Ticked all the boxes for what was required and was very reasonable in price. Staff are all welcoming and friendly especially Lorraine at the Breakfast Room welcoming guests in the morning.

All the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The room was clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. Parts of the hotel looked a little tired, mainly the carpets but it wouldn't stop us from staying there again. Possible the only negative would be the lack of on site parking. However, there is alternative parking elsewhere. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Mixed review. Good breakfast, good shower, clean room , all good there. Not alot of parking. You're sent to the top level of the neighboring bus station car park with a permit if there is no space in the tiny carpark at the front of the hotel. Main issue is the bed. Very uncomfortable. So hard woke up after a very broken sleep with sore back and shoulders.
