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.

Disappointed with Relocation

Our reservation was for The Cove but they moved us to the Tahiti Inn. While the location was great, the room and facilities were very outdated. We chose The Cove based on the pictures of the room. So needless to say, we were disappointed.

Booked at The Cove but that place is not open. So we stayed at The Atlantic. It was a nice room but they do not offer the room that wr booked. So they gave us a different room without informing us. Room wasnt same setup and in a completely differeny complex a could blocks down the road. When booking for The Cove. You should call and ask becuase i think the cove is closed down

The Cove was very clean and had a nice feel to it. The room was simple. Not a lot of dresser space, but we were only there for 3 nights. Didn’t need a lot of space to put stuff. Staff was friendly. Pool was clean and ample chairs. There was a coffee one cup coffee maker there which I used and was happy about. I’d definitely go here again. The place was pretty and just had a nice feel to it.

A nice place close to the beach and boardwalk and shops on Asbury. Appreciated included parking and beach tags in season. The staff was helpful and communicated prior to checking in. Nice porch area to relax in the morning

I planned a last minute trip to take a break and The Cove was perfect for my needs. Great location, lovely staff and my room was perfect. Other reviews pointed out how clean the place is and I agree - it was the main deciding factor for me. I love the quiet hours time frame and the overall comfort I was able to experience for a couple days. If I come back to Ocean City, I will be booking a room at The Cove again.

When we arrived, we were given Room 10 on the first floor. It was a big room, nice and clean. Unfortunately, it wasn't good for my daughter and me. We are quiet and like to relax in our room. A porch was outside our windows so we had to keep the blinds closed. People were out talking on the porch, in the lobby, or on the stairs at all hours. It you don't want to walk up stairs or don't care about noise, you will love this room. Things changed the next morning. The staff quickly changed our room to #22, a clean peaceful room. We couldn't be more appreciative of this change!! Overall, we really enjoyed The Cove and we would stay there again. Also, we don't believe we have ever stayed in a cleaner hotel. 10 stars just for that!

The hotel is clean and bright. Our room was comfortable and quiet and the air-conditioning worked well. The manager Dawn, is wonderful. She is friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We stayed the night because of a concert at the Music Pier. The Cove is 2 blocks away from the boardwalk and the Music Pier. Next time we see a show, we'll stay at the Cove.

This was a lovely surprise! The renovations inside this old hotel are exquisite. We loved how convenient it was to the beach and how simple but elegant it was. The only negative report is that the rooms did not have hair blow dryers. When I asked at the front desk the response was “they’re all being used by other guests. Please spend the $20 per room and provide them. Otherwise, such a WONDERFUL place and we will definitely be back (and I’ll bring my blow dryer) haha. Highly recommend!!!
