Hotels near The River Ribble, City of Preston

Great location, close to the Preston train station, the main street of the fishergate, where you can easily walk. The rooms are large and clean, fully equipped and can be easily eaten. The service attitude is also very good, and the cake that is delivered in the morning is also delicious. recommend!

I initially booked and paid for this stay back in January but due to ill health I could no longer stay. The stay was put on credit for me and less than a week ago I got in touch asking if it was possible to use the stay this weekend just gone due to a mishap with calendar clashes. With no issues or delays, it was instantly organised for myself and my partner to stay there, and our room was even upgraded a larger room which was available at short notice. I questioned late at night when I arrived where I could park due to uncertainties with signage, and was immediately advised whilst I was still in the car! We stayed in the Lime Tree room and it was beautiful! Very modern, thoroughly clean, and there were even tea, coffee, milk, bottled water and snacks available which was a great finishing touch and a saving grace for the unorganised! The bed was extremely comfortable, the bedding is great hotel quality too. We will be regularly visiting Preston for our sport as we compete in a local Strength & Performance gym, and we absolutely will be back. It’s definitely made us rethink about driving up and down the country on the day, and put us at ease after previous bad experiences. Winkley Square Residences is the place to stay if you are ever in Preston, located in a lovely area, and an even nicer place to rest your head, run by very helpful and genuinely nice people. Hats off to you guys👍🏼

The room and bed were to the usual Travelodge standard and the on-site parking was an added bonus. The reception was friendly and the place was clean and tidy. However, my dining experience was nothing short of appalling. I placed my meal order (a pizza and choc fudge cake with cream) at 18:18. After becoming uncomfortably hungry I managed to eventually (at around 18:45) alert one of the staff team's attention that my food order had not yet arrived. Five minutes later a female staff member appeared with a bowl containing a choc fudge cake and a jug with custard. My puzzled reaction forced the 'waitress' to say ”Sorry about the delay in your order. Have this to be getting on with while we prepare your pizza.” Was this some sort of Halloween stunt? I declined the offer. She stormed off in a huff and re-appeared just as 'The One Show' was starting up and, without a word, smile or any recognisable customer service related gesture, dumped a flat square box onto my table and sped off. Opening the box, I found it contained my pizza. It had some strange looking small soft textured cubes scattered all over it and the melted cheese on one third of the pizza. It seemed to cool very quickly and I discovered these cubes were cheese that had not yet melted. I scraped away the uncooked cheese and base and, in the absence of any staff to help, I continued to eat what I could. Inexplicably, around 20 minutes into my pizza, at 19:29 the same 'waitress' appeared, dumped a bowl of hot choc fudge cake and a huge bowl of whipped cream onto my table, turned and fled like she was about to miss her train! No respect, no communication - except for clearly hostile body language. There were still no other members of staff available. I decided to call it quits with my ”pizza” and proceed with the dessert, which by now had cooled considerably. Still no-one around. It then occurred to me that this was probably the cake she had produced as my ”starter” half an hour earlier. I started to feel physically ill and decided to abandon ship, returning to my room, totally appalled. I had a very restless night and woke at times feeling I was about to throw up. It was an experience that fell far short of what they advertise. If there was a staff shortage, what on earth happened to the old-fashioned system of open communication? If there is going to be a delay, TELL ME!!! I'll then have the option to decide if I want to stay or go elsewhere, but please don't treat me like an object of profit.

Comfortable room ,seems a bit dated .Tea and coffee in room but only for one cup of tea or coffee. Shower a bit slippery. Door on room didn’t shut properly but staff gave us a free breakfast for this which we were happy to have . Breakfast was ok cheap bread ect . But we didn’t pay for it .

We stay here quite regularly - not because the hotel is fabulous but because it's the only one in the area which has proper king sized beds available, and because the location is perfect as we are driving down the A6. They don't do weddings either which means you dont have all that noise to contend with. Hopefully now it's being rebranded this update will continue throughout the interior. The rooms are very dark and dated. There was a slight issue when we arrived as my message did not seem to have got through to say we needed a ground floor room due to mobility issues and by the time we arrived they had all been allocated and most of the lifts are currently being replaced, but the reception girls quickly got that sorted and gave us a family room with 2 double beds. The mattresses were in dire need of replacement - terribly saggy and one of them had a huge dip in the middle making them extremely uncomfortable. The duvets are horrendously heavy. There is no need to have something so heavy as you can get a good amount of heat from a much lighter weight duvet. I struggled to move under it as it weighed down so much and I have arthritis in my shoulder making it almost impossible to turn over. We did ask at reception for something lighter and were given sheets to use instead but the weather turned a bit cooler so the sheet was just too thin. I cannot imagine how the cleaning staff cope with changing the covers on these monstrosities daily when people check out. The cost of the 3 night stay for us was around £450 for room only. Extremely expensive. If we had booked B&B it would have been over £500. I do realise the spa/pool etc is probably covered in this price but perhaps a different price bracket to include or disclude the amenities might be a better idea as we were only basing ourselves there to sleep, and go out and about all day. The only other issue we had, which was of no fault of the hotel in any way, was the way some other guests had no concept of the amount of noise they make nor did they seem to care. We were wakened regularly to doors being let slam shut rather than gently closed at very early hours (there were a lot of workmen/businessmen staying) and in the room directly above us there was at least one child who sounded as if they were using the bed as a trampoline to bounce off of, onto the floor with a massive thud then run up and down the floor constantly from 6am each of the mornings.

Nice modern and spacious hotel. Rooms were clean and reasonably spacious. Breakfast was good and staff cooed quite well as it was very busy. Big car park .

After a lovely warm welcome, we had a couple of cocktails in the bar. Service by the girls was excellent. Restaurant service was very disjointed, the table next to us were forgotten about for at least 30-40mins. First 2 dishes were fantastic and we thought can’t wait for the rest to come. Very disappointing the next 3 dishes pigeon,cod and venison very poor. The dessert was great. All in all this place has just been voted in the top 3? Very disappointing meal, hap hazard service and over priced for the quality of cooking. Also watching the kitchen cam from our room the chef on desserts helping him self to what I think was ice cream but double dipping with the same spoon then returning the container to the fridge or freezer. If your showing your kitchen off tell your chefs there being watched. Would we return, No !!
