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.

Stay on onset beach
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.

Slice of Heaven
Glen Cove was so unique. The little town of Onset is so quaint. I was staying there on my own and loved walking on the beach, watching the sunset and shopping in the cute little shop! The staff was amazingly helpful at all times!

Enjoyable beach hotel
Hotel was very accommodating about needed change in our reservation days at the last minute. Wonderful location in a pleasant beachside town. Perfect spot for a few days off or a quick stop over on a longer trip.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Overall great experience! The staff are really kind and helpful. Only issue we had was the walls being really thin so we could hear everything from the room beside us. The tv is kind of small and hard to watch. Everything else was great.

A near perfect stay!
The Glen Cove Hotel & Restaurant was a great choice for us! The location is perfect for those who want walkable access to local attractions in Onset. The beach is literally right across the sea and is perfect for a quick frolick without having to lug around the needed beach accessories. The interior of the hotel is beautifully designed. It's slightly archaic (in a good way) and it felt like being inside someone's home. Check in was very easy, and they even called us to let us know that we could check in early (which we didn't since we arrived about an hour later). The room was cozy and clean. Don't expect lots of bells and whistles; it's set up simplistic and I prefer that. Be aware though that there isn't a refrigerator in the room. They do provide 24 hour access to beverages down in the lobby where

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.
