Typical Premier but no free guests parking
Pros:

Room okay and clean although on the small side for a Premier. Had to go downstairs to get a towel as only one in room for 2 guests. Didn't have breakfast as we have tried here a few times in the past and they've had hardly any continental options out and on the last occasion there wasn't a clean cup to be found to have a cup of coffee so we eat breakfast at nearby Festival Leisure Park (The Honey Pot).
The reason we will not be staying here again however, is that they have started charging guests £6.50 to park which I don't find acceptable for a non city centre location. Premier Inn at Festival Leisure Park is close and has free parking so that will be our first choice going forward

Such FRIENDLY STAFF
Pros:

We are an elderly couple and we were immediately given a very accessible room to save us walking. The staff are very friendly and all are helpful, especially Tina who went out of her way to help us at table. Room is clean and tea provided is good. The restaurant breakfast was excellent and mostly freshly cooked. We would definitely come back here in future.

Good value and location
Pros:

My mother and I came for breakfast for the first time. We had a great experience. When we first walked through the door we were greeted by Courtney who gave us a lovely welcome and couldn't have been more friendly. The food was great, cooked to order, piping hot and not greasy. There was a great range of food and hot drinks. We had a great experience and will definitely be returning.

Fairly good.
Pros:

1 overnight stay, reception very friendly and helpful. Bedroom and bathroom very tired and need updated. Breakfast offering very good. Fried eggs on buffet were a bit hard, asked for a fresh cook one and this was done with no complaints.

Good, clean
Pros:

Was a nice stay. Clean room. I stayed on 1st floor due to back injury so stairs were painful but I could not get on ground floor. First floor was noisy upstairs. Lift would be beneficial hlin this hotel. Beds are ok and area ok, although the walk to festival leisure cafes was daunting with areas were less than great. Dark and poorly lit. It was quite expensive even out of any children's school holidays and not weekend so not sure why.

A modern hotel
Pros:

I visited here recently for work. A nice clean modern hotel with friendly staff. Catherine on reception was very helpful and Clive was welcoming and chatty at breakfast. I would certainly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a decent hotel.

Good location and value for money. Staff in general average except for one.
Pros:

The Premier Inn at Fareham is in a good location for quick access to the M27. The value for money is reasonable. The car park is large. The basic room is just that but it served our purpose well. If I stay again I will use one of their superior rooms. Our room had a loose toilet seat and the extractor fan was not working so they need to keep up with their maintenance programme.

Staff were average in general but one member of staff excelled in looking after guests and managing young members of staff. The TGI Friday nearby was far from good and we had to make other arrangements for evening meals but that was not a great problem.

I would stay here again because of the convenience, but only in one of their superior rooms.

Overnight stay
Pros:

We had to swap Premier Inn at last minute and ended up at this Festival Park one. Our initial impression was a grotty looking carpark in a scrub land area but on turning a corner it looked better.
ALL staff at this hotel were great, reception morning, noon and night and breakfast room ladies were excellent with a particular shout out for the chef/ manager who was excellent.
The room and bathroom were very clean. We had a good night's sleep which was very quiet.
Breakfast was hot and plentiful .

Family stay over
Pros:

The stay was wonderful and comforting.... my family love staying in a hotel and they enjoyed this one very much, the fact theres a pub that serves food next to it is an extra bonus....

When we arrived, the receptionist Courtney was funny welcoming and full of banter/laughs very welcoming indeed. . She promised the breakfast was going to be nice and she was right. The food was fresh and edible and me and my kids and I enjoyed it... Angie, the chef, was lovely and helped make sure my daughters allergens were met properly so we had a lovely time

Very poor for standard expected of Premier Inn.
Pros:

While in need of a refurbishment, there is no general standard and expected cleanliness. Carpets had not been vacuumed, skirtings and edges were filthy, dust and build up of skin and hair on general surfaces.

Good option for a business stay
Pros:

The hotel is quite dated but has had some of the modern touches added in line with the chains upgrades. Such as touch screen vending machines in the lobby, car parking registration on check in screen, and the ability to purchase Premier Inn items from a touch screen in the check in area.

I found that the room was equipped with all the items you'd expect such as complimentary hot drinks, concealed wardrobe space, TV, and a comfortable bed. The bathroom in my room was quite tight so may have been a struggle for a larger person, but was suitable for me, although the shower system required major cleaning of limescale and the controls were damaged.

Overall it was still a good stay for me, as I was only there on business, so it was short term. Long term or for a holiday, it would not have been suitable as I'd have needed more space.

Its best attribute is how close it is to the amenities available at Festival Leisure Park.
