Delightful experience!

Beautiful old hotel in outstanding condition. Great location by the beach. Superior service, I received a call to tell me the room was ready early and I could have an early check-in. The service was just as wonderful from check-in throughout our stay. The restaurant is excellent and definitely worth a return.

Mature property but overall kept up very well. Big bonus is that it has an elevator. While the room was nice, the bed was horrible. The mattress was old and every spring in it rumbled and squeaked with every move. Both of us had aches and pains the next day. We had dinner at the restaurant and the cocktails and meals were delicious. I had the Salmon bowl which was salmon (cooked perfectly) over rice with avocado, cukes and mango on the side on Thursday night. I feel that I got some kind of food illness from that meal. We drove home on Friday after leaving the Glen Cove and my stomach and gut were at war. I later got sick. I could not hold down food for 3 days, and it is now day 5 and I am still fighting symptoms of a foodborne illness. Many items in that meal can cause illness. While the avacado and mango were not in their skins, if they were not washed properly before handling that can do it. The cuke did have the skin on and it's the same situation. Rice is also a haven for bacteria if it sits in a pan waiting to be used. I only mention this because the kitchen has got to take a look at how food was prepped and cooked on Sept. 11th.

Being right on the beach was spectacular. Could watch the sunset from our balcony. The pool area has a beautiful deck and bar service so it was a place to get out of the wind off wanted. The room had a kitchenette and we would have used it if we’d been there longer. There was a coffee maker, but no coffee provided. That was one downside. Almost every hotel now provides coffee in your room. We paid nearly $10 across the street to get coffee from the cafe. The people were friendly and the location is unbeatable.

Hidden gem

The entire hotel is absolutely beautiful and has that old charm feel while still having all the modern amenities. The only downside was the mattress. It was like sleeping on ply wood! However, was doable for one night. Any more than that, nope. The views and location of this hotel are so peaceful and beautiful, especially at sunset!

This historical stop is right across the beach from a beautiful bay. Clean, quaint, great staff. Easy parking. We stayed in a room with deck access and it was lovely. Went for supper at the restaurant on site and had one of the best meals we’ve had on our trip.

Absolutely the most charming, friendly and picturesque place I've ever stayed. Great views from the room, great food and atmosphere in the bar.Had fun conversations with customers and the bartenders. Friendliest staff, a safe, walkable area with some fun bars close to the small downtown area. I give a 12 out of 10.

We had a great stay. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food is excellent and the restaurant and speak easy lounge had great vibes. Only negatives would be the tv in the room is tiny could fit something a little bigger inside the entertainment center and no mini fridge in the room.

Great View of the Bay

The Glen Cove Hotel is a great place to stay! The deck rooms have wonderful views of Onset Bay, and it’s convenient to the beach and several restaurants. The restaurant in the hotel have some of the best food I’ve ever eaten! Some travelers might be turned off by the older elements—they till use old-fashioned keys instead of electronic locks, and the building is a converted historic house, so it doesn’t have the same updates that a chain would. But it’s very quaint and charming, and the rooms are quite comfortable!

Visiting on a cold August night!

For an older hotel, maintenance and updates were great. I would suggest at least one safety bar to help getting out of the tub. It was a very cold night. There was no staff on duty to tell us there was a heater tucked away in the closet. After check-in we never saw another staff person. That being said, the stay was very enjoyable.

Beautiful Victorian home converted to hotel

Overall, very comfortable and enjoyable. The room was fairly clean but fan had not been dusted for a very long time. Other than that, it was lovely and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast could have had healthier options. There was a lounge on the third floor that was very relaxing and the bar in the basement was loads of fun with music and karaoke! I would definitely stay there again.
