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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
Relaxing!
Refreshing pool!
Catching a nice breeze on the lovely front porch!

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.

We originally booked the Cove. About 2 hours before we checked in, they texted me to tell me there was a plumbing problem yat the Cove. They gave us one of their sister hotels which was an inferior motel Atlantic Best Western. It was too late to get another hotel. We were with family and we both made reservations to stay in same hotel. They first tried to separate us and put us in two separate hotels. The staff was trying to accommodate us but we paid more than this room was worth. Unhappy with Expedia and the inferior motel.

Basic clean motel

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