Really modest hotel, my teenage daughter described it as being cosy. The hotel was very clean, the double room was very large. Closet space was adequate. Tea and biscuits were provided in the room. Breakfast was freshly cooked full English, had choices of cereal and different teas. Was most pleased as my fav peppermint was on offer...never is at other hotels. It was in a very quiet area but with restaurant/takeout within a 1 minute walk, there is a Chinese opposite, Indian restaurant adjacent and fish and chips all within a small boulevard. Few parking was available at the rear. Has 2 floors with no lift. Has bar downstairs, I stayed on a Saturday was in room 32 and contrary to reviews I read the ban was really nice. I stayed on the second floor and my window was open I could hear the band just. I'm unsure what time they played until but at 12 midnight I realised I couldn't hear them anymore. I really also loved the community feel in the pub on the Sunday, everyone seem to know each other. I really enjoyed my stay, the staff as well were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend.

Earlier in the afternoon I needed a new tyre as drove over a pothole, so I was delayed by over 2 hours and my ETA as a result was about 9.45-10pm, I rang them about 6pm to say I was going to be late, to let them know to watch out for me and apologise and ask what the procedure was for such situations, and their checkin time was 8pm and I wasnt going to make it for then, and noone answered but they said please leave a message as someone will get back, so i did. Noone responded and i ended up sleeping in a friends kids bed in Colchester as by the time i got to Essex (i had travelled from Cheshire) it was getting a bit late and id had no response from the Oakland, and I needed somewhere to sleep! i rang them the next day to explain what had happened, just so they knew, and again got no answer or response to my message. I am not happy, Ive tried to keep them informed and communicate with them and got nothing.

The room was really basic, tired and freezing cold as the heating wasn't put on, despite me requesting it. It was a budget double. However the bathroom wasn't bad and I enjoyed nice hot baths. The staff were pleasant, and the breakfast was good. The bar was dingey and I didn't like having to go in there if the reception wasn't manned. Parking was a lottery, but I was mostly lucky. The location was convenient to ASDA and lovely sea walks at Marsh Farm and Burnham on Crouch.

2 points that's where a niggle. Not wrote the stay off as we did really enjoy our stay. But sadly didn't know about the live bands on Saturday nights. Even though we was top floor it was impossible too go to sleep prior too it finishing. If I knew prior me being a light sleeper would of brought ear plugs and room was quite chilly was the other niggle. Did love the room, the location for us was perfect, friendly staff, clean and comfortable room.
