The Cove is in an excellent location. It is a very well maintained hotel with old charm. The only improvement I would suggest is a ramp from the street to the entrance and an interior elevator.

Comfortable, Great Location

Room was modern and comfortable but small. Very easy check in and out. Great location… close to the boardwalk, beach and downtown restaurants and shops. There was an open soap in the shower and hair in the drain but otherwise, the bathroom and room seemed clean.

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 While the location was great, the room and facilities were very outdated.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.

A few nights in OC NJ

This hotel was totally renovated. Before I list the negatives first I want to say the onsite management and the front desk workers were great. The hotel 1. No elevator 2. TV was Roku and no subscriptions it so it was impossible to find local news and sports 3. No chairs in the rooms 4. No central air- room window AC unit
