“I think this hotel offers a blend of historical charm and modern comfort, though some areas show signs of wear. The riverside setting is undeniably a highlight, enhanced by the outdoor terrace. While service can be inconsistent, I believe the staff's responsiveness and the hotel's location near Preston's attractions remain notable advantages.”
