If you need a good night sleep on Saturday night. Dont stay here! Band was on in the bar until 12.00 pm. Did not get the decent night sleep i was hoping for. If you dont have plans for the following morning, and enjoy live music. Then this could be a good place to stay for you.

Not recommended
I really don’t know which room was featured in the picture but mine had paint coming off the walls, a 1970s style dresser, a shabby blanket and unspeakable carpet. I felt intimidated by the people in the bar and (as a single female travelling) it’s difficult to find, difficult to park close and just not recommended. I spent most of my stay in a pub nearby as I didn’t feel safe in the hotel. I only stayed one night out of the 2 booked. The bathroom was clean but I felt I had to sleep on top of the bed rather than in it.

It was ok....
I probably need to expand on what I mean by ok. There is nothing wrong with The Oakland. Our room was pretty dated - think 1980's Travelodge. However, it was in good shape and has been well maintained. The room was spotless and the carpets / bath etc. were all very clean. We were on the top floor and I suspect that the dividing walls do not go up into the roof space. why? because although the dividing walls were solid, we could hear everything from the rooms either side - not good at 02.30 and then again at 06.30. The breakfast was really good and comprehensive - a full english along with cereals / toast etc. Parking was easy as we were there Saturday night / Sunday and could park more or less outside. At other times parking is restricted although there is free parking nearby. In summary, it's not a place you would choose if you wanted to impress someone, however it is more than adequate for a night or two to use as a base. This is reflected in the price which on balance, makes this place very good value.
