Comfortable, Great Location
Room was modern and comfortable but small. Very easy check in and out. Great location… close to the boardwalk, beach and downtown restaurants and shops. There was an open soap in the shower and hair in the drain but otherwise, the bathroom and room seemed clean.

Very relaxing stay for 2 nights
I enjoyed my visit, the place was clean and the pool was nice. Also, the parking lot was great. The room temperature was comfortable- the in hall air conditioner was very good
The stairs were carpeted, this way I was able to drag my suitcase up step by step without damaging it.
It was helpful there was a in room refrigerator for water and small microwave.
Although not a dealbreaker, it would have been beneficial to have a desk for writing and/or working.

Don't waste your money
We reserved a night at the Cove and added trip protection in case we needed to cancel. There was inclement weather and we, unfortunately, needed to cancel. Management refused to refund me my money and offered a pathetic $100 credit for any future reservation.

The cove recent stay
Loved the king size bed and the walkin shower, which was huge! Room was definitely recently renovated and a very pleasant stay. Even got to porch sit. Porch furniture was very inviting. Listened to the neighbors enjoying their shuffleboard game. Nice area with great atmosphere.

Hotel was close to walking everywhere, no need to use a car. It was super hot out while we were here, pool was very good. A/c in our room worked perfect. Only thing to keep in mind is there is no elevator, we were on the third floor.

Loved our stay! I would add another trash can to the room, as there was only 1 in the bathroom. More coffee cups would be helpful and we didn't have hand soap in the bathroom. I loved how there was no dirty bedspread or carpets. Putting the blanket in the sheets and then changing that is a great idea and then we felt comfortable being able to sit or lay on top of the bed when we were in the room.
