Brentwood Aberdeen City Centre near Union Street
Great central location and affordable. Budget hotel standard but lots of potential. The Brentwood needs lots of TLC and a deep clean. The room I was in had a strong unpleasant smell, stained carpet, furniture and walls. After a clean and purchasing an air freshener in was tolerable.
