Top Lancaster Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Preston

Delta Hotels by Marriott Preston

10/10 Excellent
"Always Clean and always a superb breakfast with super friendly/helpful staff. Shame that the Costume Drying Machine in the Spa Men's Changing Room was not only Out of Order but had been taken off the wall. I hope it comes back as it is an excellent amenity. The Car Park continues to be very disappointing. I realise it is managed by a 3rd Party not the hotel but there are pot holes everywhere and it is in such a state. It brings the hotel down in my opinion."

8/10 Good
"As regular visitors to the Imperial Hotel we thought that this was an Inferior room to what we have had in the past, 1 no safe 2 Window did not have an opening on a hot day for fresh air so always steamed up 3 My wife fell out of the bed during the night because the mattress was larger than the base and sloped over the edge off base 4 The hand Gel in the bathroom had no Lather as it looked to be diluted like water. When we reported the above to Ricky on Reception he said that the room 238 was one of the better rooms. Also not amused by the Parking charge of £14.00 per night which I found Extortionate from past stays. We came away not Happy Bunnies"

"Room clean and adequate size. Would have been nice to have a fridge but we were given fresh water. Although there is no air on, they do provide a floor fan. Evening meal was delicious, as was the wine. English breakfast was ok - I couldn’t eat the sausages as it was very over seasoned with white pepper, so I didn’t enjoy it, but hubby who loves pepper was happy to eat mine. Check in and out was very easy. Annoyingly because we hadn’t booked direct with the hotel we where charged £12 parking."
