“The Cowley Hotel's prime location near the Pleasure Beach and Central Pier stood out; the friendly staff, including a charming dog, made it welcoming. For a budget-conscious stay, its family rooms offer surprising space, though some areas clearly need attention. In my opinion, it's a practical choice if location trumps everything.”
