That happens to be on the A6 (Garstang Road), one of the main arteries leading into Preston city center. Sitting in the suburb of Fulwood, right on the border with the massive Moor Park-Preston’s largest and also oldest park, provides a beautiful green outlook directly across the street. For sports fans, this is strategic gold: Deepdale stadium-likely home to one ofthe oldest professional football clubs in existence today just a short walk away makes this hotel a buzzing hub on match days filled with fans who appreciate having found an establishment where they can leave their car behind while walking over t he game.
The hotel is not remote from the city center. It is just on the periphery of the main city center. A walking distance to Harris Museum and bus station and Preston’s main shopping area, Fishergate, would take about 20-25 minutes. This route can be described as basically a straight line down the main road. Since it lies on a major road, then obviously what functions more than what appears scenic in its immediate environment-residential houses, bus stops; local amenities such as newsagents.
This hotel is located more or less halfway between the city center-where UCLan is situated-and Royal Preston Hospital farther north in Fulwood. That places it within easy reach of both by short bus or taxi rides, without getting caught up in the worst of deep city-center traffic. No wonder it's popular among visiting academics and parents of students, not to mention relatives coming to see patients at either location.
