What makes the difference between a good hotel and a really great hotel?

By Michelle Taylor, director of sales, Preston Marriott.

Excellent Service

Because our time is short when we travel, we just want things to run smoothly, to be treated in a professional friendly manner, and to be made to feel comfortable and above all welcome and valued.

FoodFood quality and presentation is more important than ever, guests want to be able to choose from a selection of foods at reasonable prices, with daily changing specials and a great 24hr room service.

Business FocusGreat conference and meeting facilities need to have cutting edge technology, with a dedicated support team on hand to take away the strain!

Comfortable BedroomsThere is nothing better than getting into a wonderfully comfortable blissful bed with fantastic Egyptian cotton linens, bedrooms with air conditioning, spacious work areas and internet access.
