This hotel is quite old but there have been some recent updates to keep it fresh. The rooms were clean and modern, however, the bed was very uncomfortable. You have to go down a series of steps with your luggage to get to the kifts, which really made no sense. They wanted the equivalent of $25 for the breakfast buffet... More

iamstoked22 Many thanks for your feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We are currently around 50% of the way in our room refurbishment plan and this would have included the room in which you stayed. I will have the bed checked !

Stayed here on a saturday night as we were at a wedding close by. Hotel in great location for M6 and only 5-10 mins into Preston City Centre. Room was a good size for the money and had everything we needed. Didn't eat or drink here however, so can't comment on that. Sorry! Would recommend as stop-over or last minute... More

Stopped here last night to break our journey home to Scotland. Staff were very pleasant helpful and attentive. We were hungry and the 'Jumbo' Scampi looked like a good bet. It came in a little metal basket with a handful of limp 'rustic' chips and some tartar sauce on the side. The scampi was delicious (the 'rustic' chips were not)... More

Stayed 1 night, in a "Delux" room which was a little small for the price of £85 room only. The room had everything you would hope to have in a 3 star hotel. evening meal was rather good and a steak on special offer to boot. Only downside was we had to check out before breakfast opened, due to last... More
