A near perfect stay!

The Glen Cove Hotel & Restaurant was a great choice for us! The location is perfect for those who want walkable access to local attractions in Onset. The beach is literally right across the sea and is perfect for a quick frolick without having to lug around the needed beach accessories. The interior of the hotel is beautifully designed. It's slightly archaic (in a good way) and it felt like being inside someone's home. Check in was very easy, and they even called us to let us know that we could check in early (which we didn't since we arrived about an hour later). The room was cozy and clean. Don't expect lots of bells and whistles; it's set up simplistic and I prefer that. Be aware though that there isn't a refrigerator in the room. They do provide 24 hour access to beverages down in the lobby where

Enjoyable beach hotel

Hotel was very accommodating about needed change in our reservation days at the last minute. Wonderful location in a pleasant beachside town. Perfect spot for a few days off or a quick stop over on a longer trip.

It felt more like a stay at a bed and breakfast even though the breakfast was a continental. It was very homey.

Beautiful historic building, very clean and charming. The rooms are modest but comfortable. We really enjoyed our private balcony with the rocking chairs. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant was lovely, very good food. The beach is steps across, the location is just down from the very busy spot which was nice. Highly recommended.

Overall great experience! The staff are really kind and helpful. Only issue we had was the walls being really thin so we could hear everything from the room beside us. The tv is kind of small and hard to watch. Everything else was great.
