Bear Hotel by Greene King Inns

Clean room, friendly staff, food good in restaurant,handy parking but needs updating

.

Of the three hotels I stayed in this week on my little south coast tour, The Bear in Havant was the most expensive and the worst. Badly out dated rooms, with paper thin walls, fittings that fall off the walls when you touch them, windows that make no difference to the sound if they are opened or closed are the low lights of this overpriced hotel. Maybe I was just spoilt by staying in PI hotels on my other stop offs. None of the staff seemed to care that the hotel was poor. The hi-light of the weekend was a visit to the bar, to be greeted by the poor young lady who seemed to be running it in her own, for her to tell us that there was no point in us coming in as she'd run out of everything! I won't be back!

Hotel good, breakfast very good, restaurant menu very good .

Disappointing hotel. Dirty room, cobwebs around the room and brown stains on the shower curtain and pillows. Curtains also dont fully cover the windows so if the noisy road through very thin glass with no sound proofing doesnt wake you up nice and early, the light will. Lack of clarity over breakfast time led to missing breakfast (the website times are not true, and staff were rude when we showed them their own website and suggested it be updated). Staff constantly walking past the door at 1am and 7am, sounded like they were inputting something into a keypad but with the large gaps around the door it was loud enough to wake us up. No hairdryer (yet another thing claimed on the website that wasn't correct), and none provided when asked for. Won't be returning, definitely not value for money.
