The hotel was pricey, but that was because of Offshore Europe. However, I hadn't realised how much the Brentwood had decayed since I last visited (many years ago). This is not a pleasant hotel - it's in urgent need of refurbishment; the building, it's contents, and its cleanliness are a far cry from anything I would consider acceptable. Fellow customers were noisy, sitting in corridors, and looking like they had been placed there by the authorities (perhaps they had). All-in-all not a nice experience and I won't be staying again. Sorry.
