Fodor's Expert Review
Hotel Preston redefines and modernizes a 1970s hotel stay. From the contemporary exterior and modern furnishings to the red-walled front desk and eclectic art collection, the hotel provides guests with a stylishly vintage stay. With a fee, pets are welcome as well and are offered a bed, bowls, treats, and a toy among other amenities.
