Cute refinished hotel. Rooms are in the smaller side but clean and bathroom was large. Porch was a great addition.

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.

Communications with The Cove are dysfunctional. The phone # provided on the booking site (609...) is not a working number, and its alternative (845...) goes to a third-party answering company. If you need handicap accommodation or have a special request, don't expect the message to be read or to get a response. Auto-messages will start a week early demanding your private information ("Digital ID"), which by law cannot be required. Need an extra blanket or have a drain that doesn't work? Forget it. No one will be at the desk.

Building seems a little run down and not many amenities. Room was simple but clean and renovated. Bathroom was spacious and also renovated.

I planned a last minute trip to take a break and The Cove was perfect for my needs. Great location, lovely staff and my room was perfect. Other reviews pointed out how clean the place is and I agree - it was the main deciding factor for me. I love the quiet hours time frame and the overall comfort I was able to experience for a couple days. If I come back to Ocean City, I will be booking a room at The Cove again.
