Room was nice. Not quite as nice as usual. Room needed to be updated and we didn’t have enough toilet paper, no dish soap, no dishwasher soap and barely any paper towels. Called the front desk and they said they’d send stuff up and never did. We had to seek out the housekeeping staff. Not a usual stay at the cove and we stay fairly often.

The staff at The Cove could not have been nicer! We went on a busy Lake Geneva winter weekend and our entire stay was comfortable and quite pleasant! Best location and walkable to all of the shopping and restaurants! (not to mention across from the lake.)

We have been staying at the Cove for many, many years. Overall still a great property and location! Could use a little refresh. Condo was “tired” and needs some updates. Pool area was good although an ant problem seemed apparent. Still great for a big group!

The room was clean. The bathroom had some dirty spots both due to old age and insufficient cleaning. Shower head was dirty and had mold on it so I had to disinfect it. Other than that apart was clean. The room was spacious, starter supplies were ample, and coffee and tea were provided. Check in staff was courteous and welcoming.
