'Resort' is a bit of a stretch- our patio furniture is made of PVC pipe and smelled strongly of cigarettes. Other resorts I've visited provided robes as well, which would have been nice. I appreciate that they are trying to keep the pool exclusive to guests, but asking us to wear paper wristbands in the water and sunbathing felt uncomfortable and inconvenient.

King sized lake outing, child sized bedding

I rented & requested 2 king suites for a 2 day corporate gathering on the lake with the understanding that when you choose a one bedroom you are not guaranteed a king, it may be a queen sized bed. 1 suite was beautiful hardwood flooring modern updated decor & furnishings with an actual king sized bed. Unfortunately this was not my suite. We were given a carpeted suite with a "barnyardy" smell to it. Also with a Double bed, not a queen. My husband slept on the sofa( we are not large people lol). There was a party upstairs at 230 am that awoke us due musical chairs being played on the wooden deck above my bedroom window & a "gentleman" throwing beercans up to the balcony. Not pleasant. Next morning SOPHIA at front desk made it right, called in a Mgr, found a king suite and delivered the most outstanding customer service I have ever received at a hotel. We travel locally & internationally many times a year. Kudos to Sophia! Suggestion, when renting an "owner owned" hotel room, call & ask what exactly you're getting.

Our stay was nice. The room and location was also very nice. I would stay again. The only downfall is that the guest above our floor were very loud during late hours. they woke us up with the noise. The neighbors across from us were loud as well. The walls in the unit are thin. The other guest should have been more considerate. We stayed in room 235.

We stayed for 7 nights at the Cove. Upon arrival everything seemed great. The room was very spacious. The next morning however, niether my husband or I could move normally. The bed in the room was so broken that every bone in our bodies hurt. The side my husband was on was sinking in so badly that he could easiley have rolled off.

great hotel

Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Its a studio suite with a whirlpool tub, My husband and I slept like a baby. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. They're all in good condition. I like the gym most because its well equipped and they've newer machines with generous towels and Culligan water. The bathroom sink could be updated as well. The kitchen is a great asset. The room has no smell and I like the non carpet floors. there is an attached restaurant with reasonably priced delicious food. Location is perfect. Staff are very nice.

My experience and my guest experience was terrible at the Cove. I checked in 8/31 and Jennifer the front desk floor manager took our reservations. I requested and paid in advance a balcony room. Jennifer said they did receive my request however she said we only have two options available one is a patio, and the other is a balcony facing nature. She stated this as I witnessed many people checking in with other representatives. I was in room 344 the studio, the bed was the worst. You can feel coils in the bed and the bed squeaked. I and my guest were in pain when we woke up for two days. The coffee maker was broken, the balcony had bird feces, the wall behind the toilet was not painted, the wood on the table and cabinet was chipped with nicks and scratches. This room was definitely not worth $524 with the $50 resort fee and on top of that a $100 deposit. I did bring the concerns of the bed and coffee maker, shower making noises to the front desk, I requested another room with Ivy who asked how my stay was, and I advised of all my concerns. I was not granted another room, Ivy stated "I'm very sorry, but your current room is the only one available for the entirety of your stay". In addition, we patronized the hotel gift shop and coffee shop. Not sure if going through Expedia the Cove gives out rooms that obviously need repair. I will never stay at the Cove again.
