Our stay was fabulous!! We always enjoy the Cove. It close to down town and the staff is amazing. We celebrated My Aunt's 80th Birthday this weekend. The only problem I had with my booking with Hotels.com was the room I booked. I had originally book the Bella and was given the dover which was alot smaller then the Bella we booked last year.

I really liked this hotel but very disappointed that the hot tubs didn’t work. Both inside and outside were broken. The only thing I was really looking forward to was sitting in a hot tub having a cocktail and the outside bar seemed to not be running anymore and with the hot tubs being broken I was very disappointed. I wasn’t told until checking out that I could have gone to the hotel next door and used their pools and hot tubs. When asked for a credit, they said no.

+3 for location and walkability. -2 for cleanliness of facility and room. Not dirty necessarily, just rundown, doesn't look like a lot of money goes back into the facility. The "resort" fee is comical at best and really should be removed from the charges. Just charge $25 more for your rooms and relinquish the misleading representation of calling The Cove a resort. I understand at one point in time it probably did have a resort feel, 40 years ago, but come on ownership, you are not fooling folks. It was a hassle-free experience though and we loved the area, might just look at other options for accommodations next trip.

We love this hotel! We vacation in Lake Geneva twice a year & always stay at the Cove. You can't beat the location & price! Within walking distance to most everything. We get the one bedroom suite & love it. Very roomy & comfortable. We bring our own pillows & toilet paper, since we don't care much for theirs. Stop & see Sam at the bar..she's awesome!
