The bed was very comfortable and we really appreciated the high ceilings, beautiful grounds, and enjoyed our walks around the estate. If you're working like we were, note that the internet is indeed fast enough for a developer who runs team meetings to lead all their meetings! I had a spa session with massage and facial and it was excellent! I swam every day and used the sauna facilities. The locker room and pool area was kept very clean and dry. The lady attendant was fastidious in keeping the changing room dry and clean. There was a bit of an incident where one of my favorite vintage pieces I sent off to laundry was not returned to us when they dropped off our clean clothes. I had actually been at the entrance to the hotel when the cleaner dropped it off and I verbally acknowledged to her that I could see my laundry because of my vintage piece and she stated they'd be delivered to my room shortly. Front staff sent back an empty hanger amongst our other clean clothes and had lost it. We found it on the floor amongst boxes behind the reception desk. They returned my item, and apologized personally. Not a big deal and glad it was resolved.

Nice venue, adequate, yet a little distant staff. On the first night a gentleman, who as I learned…read morebook a romantic package for him and his wife Kelly, decided to beat her up. Lot of swearing, screaming, hitting and shouting in the room next to us. Police intervention, mr roach was arrested and poor kelly brought to hospital by ambulance. In other words, our first night was not very restful! Sure that the hotel can't do anything about this, however some pro active compensation would have been in order. The downside of this hotel is the aggressive pricing for wedding packages, meaning that there are many wedding parties going on. I counted six in two days, which brings a lot of drunkards to the hotel, which does not help if you're seeking a quite place to relax. Will I ever get back to this hotel, no.

WHAT A HECK OF A WOMAN! BIGGGGEEEESSSTTT heart in Preston, but the rest of the staff ain't that far behind). The hotel itself is shameful outdated and lacking anything comfortable. The tub is a safety hazard, sinks are old, carpets are dingy, sheets are see-through, pillows are questionable... everything hotel nightmares are made out of... yet its one of the better places in town! But it is close to the train station and to UClan, and the staff will do anything to make up for the embarisingly (is that even a word?) conditions of this worn and beat up hotel. Because the staff is quite frankly - too good for the hotel or any luxury hotel - they are downright working class divinity and should all be hugged and commended for their wonderful, wonderful humanity!

As I approached from the train station, I ended up walking around the entire building looking for…read morethe entrance. Thankfully there was a sign on the wrong side, so I at least knew I was on the wrong side of it! I would have found the reception on the first floor unusual, except I'd seen it at a Travelodge only three weeks ago - so now I thinks it's actually sensible. On arrival I checked in via an electronic kiosk - that is unusual, but it was very quick and there was still a staff member on hand should it not work. In fact, it's worth saying that every staff member I talked to here were exceptionally friendly. Room was fine - minimalist, but functionary. Free wifi was painful, but the paid wifi was only a fiver, so an easy choice. Still not a super fast connection, but better than I've had at some hotels. Bathroom was a decent size, and the shower had excellent pressure. If I have to stay overnight again in Preston, then I would want to stay here again. Everything was effortless.

The company i work for held their christmas staff party here last year and it was fantastic,…read moreeveryone enjoyed it so much that we are back again this year. The price varies according to how near Christmas it is, we are goind at the end of November because people have other things to do in Dec so we got the cheapest rate of £40 per head (think its £60 in Dec) sounds a lot but when you consider what you do get it isnt really. On arrival theres unlimited bucks fizz and canapes, you're then shown to your tables were there are bottles of red or white wine ( rose if you ask) when your bottle is empty you hold it up and its replaced very quickly meal is pre ordered starter served by you're waiter/ess. main is carvery with meat / veggi / fish choice help yourself to loads of veg / salad choices. pudding is pre ordered and served at your table. Theres a disco, and Christmas themed quiz to follow. You will get a ticket that you exchange at the bar after the meal, thats for your first drink, after that you need to take you're glass with you or you dont get served. All the drinks are named brands and there is no limit on how many times you go back to the bar. At 11.30 they serve mini fish and chips in cones then free bar closes at 12. They are doing a cheap rate on rooms if you would rather stay over. If you add up how much a meal, drink etc costs when they dont come as a package like this you can see what a bargain it is.

The fish cake was so fishy not just full on potato and the chips were cooked to perfection. House wine was drinkable too! Bedrooms comfortable but there was a sewery smell from the bathroom which was slightly off putting. The games room was very old school and traditional, dark oak and some gentrified games but also a tv and a darts boas. It was £70 a room in a Saturday night - good value if you're not up for £125 for the Marriott one mile down the road!

Despite it being warm and sunny outside, inside it was cold and dark, so not a great atmosphere. The waitress was pleasant but not exactly friendly, although she did her job well. We decided to have two starters and the salad bar instead of starters and a main. My starter of garlic mushrooms was delicious, but my fiancé's pea and ham soup was gritty and powdery. Then he had sizzling chilli prawns which he did enjoy although the amount of prawns was not that good for the price and there were too many chillies in it. I chose prawn cocktail. I've had it from there before and it was gorgeous. Oh how I miss those times. It was advertised as coming with a Marie rose sauce, not that difficult to make you would think. Well it clearly was for the chef on duty this afternoon. The prawns were small, tasteless and watery. No doubt out of the frozen section of Tesco. And then there was the sauce. I think it had been made with a LOT of creme fraiche and a minimal amount of anything else. It was vile. It was so vile that it was all that I could take not to vomit at the table. I sent it back, the first time I have ever sent food back in 29 years. I was asked if I wanted another or something different but declined as I had the worst taste in my mouth. I couldn't even manage the salad as that wasn't at its best and all I could taste was the sauce. To be fair they did not charges for the prawn cocktail but if a chef can't manage something so simple then perhaps he should log on to Jobcentre Plus perhaps he will find his calling there. There was also a lot of dust everywhere which does not exactly make you warm to a place. It is frustrating as after our last visit my fiancé emailed them to say how much we had enjoyed it. I have a feeling they won't want to read what I have to say. Disappointing to say the least.
