No, I have not ever been to Essex that much in the past. Therefore, I had been looking forward to…read moreplaying a gig in Brentwood, to see what it is all about. Upon arrival at this hotel, we nearly missed the entrance because we thought that it was a football ground. Well, we were half right. Brentwood football ground is completely adjacent to this hotel. When we checked in, the receptionist was friendly enough, but lacked in any professionalism when dealing with the three of us. When one of my bandmates enquired as to whether he could change his room, the answer was quote: "I got nothing." After a massively long walk to the room that I had been assigned, I found my room and entered. I was actually quite surprised at the quality of the room, as I was fearing the worst. Nice cream walls and bright white ceiling with a tasteful stone coloured carpet were my greeting. A 26 inch LG TV hung on the wall was my entertainment. Of course the obligatory coffee and tea making facilities. And a miniature ironing board and iron! Next on the "to check out" list was the bathroom. This room looked like it was freshly tiled, and a nice shower had been installed. Unfortunately, even with all of the freshly fixed appliances and tiling, the cleaner had negated the tidying and cleaning duties, with numerous moth carcasses lining the floor. My bed was comfortable enough but the springs made noise every time I moved in the bed. Most disappointing of all was the lack of Gideon Bible. Apparently, his place used to be a school. I kind of like the idea of looking around this place and seeing what it used to be. I think one of the things that is most lacking here is a sense of professionalism from the staff. The vending machines really do bring down the class a further notch. So then, it is far from the best hotel I've ever stayed in, but for the money, a reasonable effort. My bandmates had plenty more complaints than I did so I guess that I was the lucky one and got a decent room!

The hotel has its own parking, and as far as im aware its free as i did not use it when i used the hotel. The hotel offers great service, and if you have any problems reguarding your room, then they dont hesitate to make it better for you. Overall a very good value hotel, and great for long journeys. It is a little out of the way from central london by public transportation.
