Just returned from a 12 night stay at the Oakland Hotel. 5 of us were working at Bradwell Power station and as we had to leave hotel at 6.15am, too early for hotel breakfast, we wanted a location where we had a selection of food outlets and pubs when we returned from work. The Oakland Hotel is the perfect location... More

Our stay was totally ruined by drunk idiots shouting, fighting, and setting the fire alarms off in the hallway outside our rooms right up to 5am. When we complained this morning the staff seemed uninterested. We were told breakfast started at 8am when it actually started at 9, when breakfast finally did arrive it was poor to say the least....

We do apologise that your stay with us was spoiled by the behaviour of a few Guests who had attended a Wedding locally. Having looked at the bookings for last weekend we note that you did not book your accommodation until the afternoon of your stay so unfortunately we were not able to offer rooms in the quiet part of...

My husband and I stayed at The Oakland for an overnight on the 16th March. It was our 23rd wedding anniversary so we decided to go for the premier room. It was very spacious, comfortable and clean.Staff were friendly and breakfast was lovely. We parked our car at the side of the hotel which was ideal. Lots of places to... More

I booked an overnight stay at this hotel for a nearby business meeting the next day. I was then informed by a few local people that it had appeared on the TV programme "Hotel Inspector" - I decide to take a chance. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised and relieved. The room was basic and rather old bathroom... More

Having spent a short night stay, I found the hotel average. The receptionist/bar maid was pleasant and helpful. The room was quite a walk with 2 flights of stairs with no lift. It was very clean, but my God was it cold! There was a large radiator but there was no hot water running through it (yes the valve was... More

The Oakland is a tidy clean place ,rooms could do with bringing up to date but clean . Plenty of places to eat . Take aways or restaurants. Breakfast is cooked or continental,but a bit on the small side. Overall good though.

I feel compelled to reply to this review. Last weekend was the hottest weekend of the year, day and night. Where ever you were sleeping, be it at home or a hotel, it was hot. We cannot help the weather. We do offer fans, but bearing in mind people would have them on all night, we charge £5. We regularly... More

These people never complained on the day. We arranged three mini buses, like we always do, and according to the drivers it all went very well. Considering the size of V, the pick up etc. all went very smoothly. Our normal check in time is 2pm. V weekend, we always allow early check ins to accommodate our guests. We do... More
