Great hotel with fantastic staff. Would highly recommend
Pros:

A 4 night stay last week and every one from the reception greeting, the housekeeping cleanliness, the amazing breakfast team and the awesome bar staff made it like a home from home. One person in particular was working the bar every night and so a big thank you to Dyan who was extremely professional and friendly and really took the time to look after us. Everyone at this hotel is a credit to the IHG brand and as a frequent visitor this hotel really is faultless. Some people may have a moan at the car park size but in all the years I’ve stayed give always got a space.

Never a bad stay
Pros:

I've been staying at this hotel and using the conference facilities for Business since 2022 and never had a bad stay. All the staff are super friendly but Amanda, Maria and Lorraine deserve a shout out!
The hotel food menu is great and changes regularly.

Outstanding!
Pros:

I had not stayed at a Holiday Inn for about 15 years after a mediocre/poor experience at one in Central London so I approached my recent stay at Preston with some anxiety. After having had 6 nights at Preston however, my anxiety was totally misplaced in that virtually everything was excellent. What stood out however were the staff - without fail, from checking in to leaving, they went out of their way to make the guest experience a superb one. Whoever is responsible for hiring at Holiday Inn Preston, clearly knows what they are doing and the staff were a true credit to HI.

Excellent!
Pros:

This is probably the best Holiday Inn I've ever stayed in. Location great, room superb and the staff were fantastic. Everyone was friendly and helpful, in particular Bhup who signed me in and Dyan behind the bar, who was an absolute star, but everyone was lovely. Thank you very much!

Great staff.
Pros:

Lovely clean hotel, with the most friendly staff I have ever met, from check in through to dinner and at checkout. Kamila, Dylan and Jawa’s, could not be more helpful. Some noise from the gym but this stopped promptly on closing.
Limited parking but plenty of places to park nearby.
