The Cove is an amazing place to stay. The lake is literally right across the street where you can take boat tours, jet ski or lay on the beach. There are plenty of ice cream shops and none of them disappointed, lots of gift shops and restaurants in walking distance the staff is so friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. I will be bringing my whole family back to stay next year and every year after that the rooms are clean, warm and welcoming definitely a 10 out of 10 highly recommended.

+3 for location and walkability. -2 for cleanliness of facility and room. Not dirty necessarily, just rundown, doesn't look like a lot of money goes back into the facility. The "resort" fee is comical at best and really should be removed from the charges. Just charge $25 more for your rooms and relinquish the misleading representation of calling The Cove a resort. I understand at one point in time it probably did have a resort feel, 40 years ago, but come on ownership, you are not fooling folks. It was a hassle-free experience though and we loved the area, might just look at other options for accommodations next trip.

We love this hotel! We vacation in Lake Geneva twice a year & always stay at the Cove. You can't beat the location & price! Within walking distance to most everything. We get the one bedroom suite & love it. Very roomy & comfortable. We bring our own pillows & toilet paper, since we don't care much for theirs. Stop & see Sam at the bar..she's awesome!
