“Holiday Inn Preston earns its reputation through practical advantages: its location suits visits to Deepdale and quick trips from the train station, and the open lobby enhances the social vibe. I especially note the all-day dining, particularly the 24/7 café, which balances the limited on-site parking challenges. For families, the 'kids eat free' policy offers considerable value.”
