There are several other options in and around Lancaster, some good but several in need of modernisation (or just demolishing). Note several chain hotels including the Holiday Inn are located near junction 34 of the M6, which is both a bike/car journey to central Lancaster and to the University. If you would prefer to stay in the Lancashire countryside we recommend The Mill Inn.
