Good food but the room needed an upgrade

The room was poor quality, as the sofa bed was worn and did not look very clean. The carpet was stained in places. The bed was terrible, as the base sections were not fitted together and it was very uncomfortable. The quilt was showing at one corner where the cover was ripped and looked dirty. On a positive note all the staff were very helpful and made sure we had a good dinner and breakfast service.

A bit disappointed

I booked one night for me, my wife and my son for over night stay. For 94 pound a night it wasnt what i expected because the room didnt have a fridge or bootle of water and when i asked for bootle of water i was told to use toilet tap water which is very bad. I wont book again if i coming to preston.

Great hotel very modern and clean They had my requests for extra pillows and top sheets in place when we arrived. Will most certainly stay again. Breakfast was great. Only a little niggle for negative : Check on procedures - reception lady on checking in could have had a smile and welcoming approach to their guests rather than a robotic action on check in

The bed was awful, V shaped and uncomfortable mattress. The floor had many stains. Breakfast selection was good, however the sausages were uncooked in the middle.
