When we arrived the barrier was down. We had to do that awkward thing of move the car over as far as you can and then stretch to reach the button to contact staff. Unfortunately the staff member who answered the gate intercom was a little hard to understand and she cut us off rather abruptly with the gate still remaining down. We pressed again and the gate allowed access.
We checked in and I advised that I had already paid online via paypal. The staff advised that any payment was not an actual payment rather a hold - I would still need to pay again. If you use paypal you will know it takes several days to show on your account so I could neither prove nor disprove their claims.
We got to our room and were pleased to be in an annexe as there was a wedding going on. Nice room size etc kettle, coffee machine, mugs, tea and biscuits. I checked in the bathroom for glasses and there were none available - I would assume that a hotel charging over £100 per night would at least supply plastic cups or proper glasses to drink water from. There was plenty of storage available and a decent hairdryer.
The shower was nice - however the glass door was not long enough to prevent significant amounts of water hitting the floor - the bath mat was sodden. The shower tray and grout work as well as an area near the radiator had mould/blackening to it. There was also a random hole in the ceiling - possibly an old leak?
The food was great although it took a while to arrive. I did ask for mild peppercorn sauce and no mushrooms - my food arrived with mushrooms and no peppercorn sauce. We left the restaurant believing that the meal would be added to the room - a member of staff followed us out advised that many people may have sat at the table and they needed a room number (this was given when we arrived at the restaurant) and could we pay now?!; perhaps they need a better booking/checking system in place?
We then went through to the bar there were several tables which had been left with glasses on them. They were only removed when we sat at one of these tables, the table remained unwiped.
The two staff on didn't come over to see if we wanted more drinks and didn't interact with other people who were hovering also intending to purchase drinks. I eventually took my chair and sat in front of the bar waiting for the staff to return from a patrol; neither asked if they could help so I shouted over. I believe this is indicative more of a lack of training in customer service than rudeness.
Children from the wedding were becoming a nuisance by this point and were pretty much unchallenged by staff. They were running in and out, up and down stairs taking milk from the fridges and leaving plastic rings on the floor. They made enough noise to be heard on at least the first floor as the fire doors were help open by magnets.
In our room we hoped for peace and quiet only to be left disappointed by music echoing over from the wedding - this finished just before midnight. The bed was comfortable and we slept well.
The gym was lovely and quiet at 8am although the sauna hadn't quite heated up when we headed in there around 8.40ish.
Breakfast was mostly tasty - the black pudding lacked any flavour - the scrambled eggs and hash browns were great. The tea was the wrong colour and tasted like very cheap teabags. There were bits of chips on the floor from the food service the night before.
This hotel has very old features but inside the rooms are big spacious and warm
The bed although a double was twin beds pushed together which is very annoying as you slide into
The middle of the bed and it’s uncomfy.
The receptionist was extremely unhelpful and had no empathy I had to walk back and forth from my room 3 times to sort out an issue and then the spa was another issue which finally got resolved
So basically it’s a lovely hotel but the staff need to be retrained or understand customers better and the duty manager who was on duty too.
Molto convenientemente situato, spazioso parcheggio auto ma con colazione standard, una scelta certa per i viaggiatori di transito.
Stando qui per una notte, l'hotel è pulito e la camera era spaziosa con mobili stilizzati. Il colazione mancava un po' di varietà. I letti erano duri. Ci sono stati alcuni eventi all'epoca che ci andavamo a controllare, quindi era un po' occupato nella zona di accoglienza.
Perfect location for my needs , really polite friendly staff , nice warm room , really happy with my choice will definitely return when I have to visit this area again
The location is great, but everything else is quite old and worn out. The service was quite bad, we did not have any towels or water bottles in our room. Upon asking, they said we are ‘supposed’ to get the towels from the receptions. And only the rooms with a fridge will have water bottles. Did not even offer to let us buy any bottles. As it was quite late when we realised we did not have any bottle of waters, luckily found a Co-op in 5 mins distance closing soon, we had to grab them from there.
The room had a partial sea view. But the bed was so noisy and squeaky even with the slightest movement. All the other furnitures were very old, no charging or plug points beside the bed.
If not for location, because the beach is quiet in front of the hotel, i wouldn’t have even considered it ever again.
One good thing about it was the swimming pool, it was very clean but the changing rooms could have been much better.
I have booked through Trip.com previously, so I know it has nothing to do with internet or 3rd party booking, it is just a very old hotel. And the pictures are quite deceiving.
The hotel and entrance are great, no complaints there. I’ve been a regular at another hotel within 5 miles of here, where the facilities are immaculate and the rooms are always meticulously clean. So I had high expectations.
On walking into my room (250), it was freezing. I immediately turned on the electric radiator, but was woken up at 2am by the thermostat flicking on and off repeatedly. The digital screen kept lighting up and going off it felt like there was a rave in my room. Highly annoying and not conducive to a good night’s sleep.
Before bed, I went for a shower and splashed foamy suds around as you do. After finishing, I was washing down the inside of the shower cubicle and noticed what I thought were leftover soap suds near the door handle. I went to wipe them off and I can tell you now, they were not soap suds.
Absolutely disgusting. The previous occupant clearly lacked basic hygiene, and although it shouldn’t be expected, the cleaners really need to have a keener eye for detail. This sort of thing should never be missed.

In generale, è stata una grande esperienza, oltre a qualche problema minore.
**Positivo: **
1. La posizione era buona, anche se era a pochi passi dalla città. Tuttavia, c'è un servizio tram che funziona ogni 10 minuti, e il costo era di 12 sterline al giorno per tre persone, che forniva viaggi illimitati per tutto il giorno.
Il colazione è delizioso e offre una vasta gamma di opzioni da scegliere.
3. L'ambiente dell'hotel è stato piacevole, con una bella ricezione e un'area di lobby.
4. La stanza includeva una cassaforte dove si possono conservare oggetti preziosi come il computer portatile e tablet per una protezione aggiuntiva.
** negativi: **
1. Il nostro bagno non era stato vuoto dopo la pulizia, e hanno dimenticato di sostituire il rullino di tessuto extra nel bagno, che era scomodo.
2. Non ci sono stati scarpe o tessuti faciali forniti nella stanza.
Il bar era molto tranquillo, e siamo stati così stanchi che non abbiamo visitato di nuovo.

Bad things
Hotel lift has broken and put me on 3rd floor but I can request the staff to give me on the ground floor ( said last room / no other choice) twin room . It is better to write the request that in the event of lifts are not working to give ground floor or lower floor.
Kettle has no sieve ( may be broken before me. )
The sofa chair has a stain before me .
Overall very good service and great room and has good facilities.

LLara TravelPerciò siamo rimasti nel Holiday Inn Preston per 1 notte, così la mia recensione può essere molto breve solo perché non siamo rimasti per molto tempo - ma dirò quello che ho trovato. Le camere erano molto belle con spazio sufficiente, con tè e caffè e una TV- tutti aspettavano così niente di speciale e letti molto confortevoli. La posizione era buona, a 15 minuti a piedi dalla stazione ferroviaria. La camera era disponibile fino alle 11:00, che era grande, ma non abbiamo provato nulla.Abbiamo ordinato un colazione per un extra di 20 sterline e era decente, ma non era speciale. Tuttavia, ha fatto il lavoro e ha avuto molte cose da offrire, così è stato buono e non si lamenterà.
Questo è stato il doppio del costo dei più vicini hotel, quindi ci aspettavamo un po 'più veramente, ma in tutto un soggiorno decente e era buono.
Tornerebbe di nuovo
PPaul JohnGreat hotel that is very conveniently located to the M6. Room was good, slightly dated but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good - very big spread and variety. Access to health club was a plus. Staff friendly and attentive.
