Pros:

Room was nice, but maybe a few decorative pillows, some pictures on the wall. It was stark, no character to feel cozy.

I would not recommend
Pros:

The location was great!

Cons:

The misrepresentation by Booking.com or The Cove that I was getting a 2bed/2bath suite. It was two minuscule adjoining room. Ridiculous! Not particularly clean. Bathroom baseboards were very dirty.

We will be back!
Pros:

Our trip was a last minute decision but finding an excellent hotel was easy! The Cove was centrally located to downtown and boardwalk. The hotel was clean, spacious room, and the owner was accommodating! We will be back!!! Hopefully soon!!!

Not what I expected
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Well I paid $550 for ONE night for my 9yr old daughter & I. The parking is chaotic!! Next to the hotel is a very small parking lot. You would never know or assume the small lot is being shared with another hotel and no staff tells you that. So when we came back from the beach im told that my car is about to get towed even though when I checked in I told the girl at desk that I was in spot #1 (NO WHERE on the sign does it say what hotel all it says is spot 1) Then were given r room key & it’s directly behind the front desk & a restroom!! The room was the size of a small shed! The bathroom was nice but the ac barely worked & everytime the front door opened & close the entire room shook!!! The pool is very very small!!! There was some kind of film stuck to the lining of pool. Def doesn’t look like any of the pics! ***correction... It's definitely NOT one block or 1500 feet or “a stone throw a way” from the beach!! If you want to get technical.. PROXIMITY: Roughly TWO BLOCKS away from the beach and boardwalk area WALKING TIME: 5 MINUTES (you can find the info on google). Lastly, I saw on the website that they charge $20 for each beach tag as a deposit and when they are returned they will give you the $20 back. When I asked the girl at the desk she first told me that they dont have beach tags to give out. I told her what I saw online then miraculously beach tags appeared. I gave the girl at desk $40 for 2.
The next day at check out it was a gentleman at the desk I handed over the beach tags waiting for my $40. He looked at me like I was crazy. He said "we dont charge for beach tags" he reluctantly gave me $40 out of his wallet which I appreciated cause I did not want to wait around for him to figure out why I was charged $40.
So again... I paid $550 for ONE NIGHT

Good location. Okay room
Pros:

Staff was awesome. Stay was walkable. Parking was a huge plus.

Cons:

The room, blankets, and pillows smelt like B.O. and dirty laundry water. The bed and pillows were not very comfortable.
