It is ok to stay but car park is not big enough so no parking spaces, food is so so and rooms are close to needing refurbishment. Ok to stay but not worth the premium price

Stayed for overnight trip to Deepdale. Hotel is ideally sited for a short walk from Preston Mainline Rail Station and Deepdale itself. Nice bar and eating area and comprehensive buffet breakfast. Ticked all the boxes for what was required and was very reasonable in price. Staff are all welcoming and friendly especially Lorraine at the Breakfast Room welcoming guests in the morning.
