12th year Anniversary Vacation
this was our 2nd time we've stayed here for an anniversary vacation because we fell in love with the place the first time 2 yrs ago !! check-in staff was super nice.. a lil welcome / happy anniversary gift & card was left on our bed " thank You !! " our room was nice and the view from the balcony was sweet...the weather was perfect t-shirt & shorts all 4 days left the slider open all night .. watched an amazing sunset each day and fell asleep to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs :-) ...the breakfast options were much appreciated .. coffee is REAL good .. i can say only 1 semi-negative thing-- ask the chefs/cooks to go EASY on cooking the breakfast sausages to death LoL ...

Cherish at the front desk was wonderful and made us feel rightnat home immediately. We were able to park right by our room. Note that if you get a lower unit, a set of stairs is involved. The room was perfectly clean, large enough, had a patio overlooking the walking path. Only mistep was the fitted sheet was put on sideways so it kept slipping off the corners...not the first time weve seen that happen. The property was lovely. Theyboffered yoga in the garden and if wed had another day we would have done that. The night staff wasnt able to help us with restaurant recommendations but we managed. All in all, we would come back here

We’ll be back
Room was nice and clean, bed was comfortable, good WiFi service, had a beautiful view of the ocean. Would have been nice to leave our balcony door open at night but we were ground level and next to a fire-pit and chairs that others were hanging out at. Next time we’ll ask for upper level with even a better view.

Hotel Room Keycards Stopped Working A Lot =UNSAFE!
My mom & I came 4 a much needed Mother-Daughter getaway. Check-in was super easy. Our request 4 the 2nd floor was granted--TY Inn at The Cove! The room was quite lovely, although it would've been extra lovely 2 have a small table & chair area 2 enjoy our clam chowder taste tests:) We did try out the balcony (THE VIEW😍😍😍) table & bar height chairs--which made said taste test a bit too precarious. The hotel is perched atop some breathtaking little cliffs, making the ocean break a most peaceful backdrop. My mom and I especially fell for all the pelicans. We also loved the swinging loungers for two💕💕. The complimentary coffee down at the free continental breakfast area was delicious. I wish I could say the same for the Keurig pods in the room, which were very UNdelicious. :/. The breakfast was ok...prepackaged pastries, cold cereals (with only soy milk and 2%, both of which I cannot drink--a bummer), hard boiled eggs, apples that sadly had seen much better days, do it yourself waffles--very impressed:), & some very watery oatmeal--but the toppings looked very fresh. The king size bed was comfortable! The only thing I would offer would be 2 switch out the sheets 4 a set that is as comfortable as the bed. Anti slip material in shower💙 H2O pressure👎. Constantly leaking faucet👎 The pool was WONDERFUL & refreshing; the hot tub--PERFECT temp. Cherish at the front desk is a Gem. And the keycard ordeal? The main culprit for our 3 /5. :'(
