The staff (Sophia) greeted us with a smile. Sophia answered all of my questions and gave suggestions. We didn't feel rushed, we felt welcomed. Sophia gave us a list of restaurants in the area. The anchor type room we stayed in was large, with kitchen area, and nice size living area. All the rooms have balconies/ patios. You cannot go wrong with staying at The Cove.

The room was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. I think this is much more of a family hotel than it is a place where couples would go. Unfortunately, even with light darkening curtains, the light from the balcony shown above and below the curtains to the point where it was difficult to sleep, and the mattress itself was not particularly supportive. So although I think this is probably a great family, friendly hotel, it really wasn’t for us.

We always enjoy staying at the Cove. We love the spacious rooms, the indoor pool, and the Lake Social Club restaurant (especially the shrimp and corn chowder) when visiting our favorite long weekend spot. Lake Geneva never disappoints, and the Cove is an essential part of our experience.

I’m probably a 4.5. The staff was great as were amenities. Great restaurant on premises. My only critique really was the room was clean but very dated and had carpet throughout which is a turn off for me. And the sink/toilet didn’t drain/flush well
