The Cove is a very nice hotel and the best one Ive stayed in while in OCNJ so far. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The room and beds were comfortable and clean. I will definitely book there again in the future.
The Cove is in an excellent location. It is a very well maintained hotel with old charm. The only improvement I would suggest is a ramp from the street to the entrance and an interior elevator.
Our family of 4 stayed here for 2 nights. The location was within walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. The room was clean, air worked good and a nice shower.
The rooms were clean and came with the basic necessities for an overnight stay for the whole family. It was a quick walk to the Boardwalk and a walk around the corner to the bakery or breakfast. We would come again!
This was an excellent place to stay in Ocean City. It worked out well. The room was small, but fine for the beach. We already recommended it to someone else who stayed there after we did!
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.
Great location in town and close to everything park and walk everywhere!!! Only issue was the code for the main door. We had some issues getting in after hours but very clean and friendly staff!!!

Positives:
The hotel and room were clean and modern.
Great location.
Negatives:
The air conditioning unit was so loud that I had to turn it off and open the window.
There was a lot of noise from the property next-door.
The mattress and pillows were not comfortable.
A cute little boutique hotel in the perfect location - just blocks from the boardwalk. Simple amenities but everything you need and the friendliest staff! Would define stay here again with my family.
We had a great stay at The Cove. The hotel had wonderful staff and we loved the mid century decor.
The swimming pool was great on a hot day. Loved it and will stay again!
