If you and your family thinking of visiting Cowes on your next weekend getaway then I would highly recommend the Arthur Phillip Motor inn. It may have cost a little more than those motels around and with very basic facilities (DVD optional) but It's a nice modern motel with friendly/helpful staff at the reception and 5 star cleanliness. Everything from the bed linen in the bedroom to bath towers in the bathroom, toilet, carpet etc.... it's the cleanest motel I've ever been to. It's cleanliness is in par or dare I say better than those of some of the so called 5 star rating hotels in town! more
