Bay Room - Onset

This beautiful revived and refreshed historic boutique hotel with waterfront views of Onset Bay was my stay one overnight during September. The wonderful warm reception was amazing along with the relaxing and fully stocked hotel room there's a small but warming space heater in the closet to keep you toasty) and a very comfortable bed, extra blankets and lots of comfortable pillows. I'm overly impressed with this beautifully restored boutique hotel. It's comfortable, cozy and welcoming. After 30 years as a flight attendant for a major airlines I've stayed all over the world, this Glen Gove hotel is so inviting, I highly recommend it.

I came here for dinner in the Bay Room on Saturday night. I had been here for brunch a few times as well. Great stuffed quahogs, a Cape Cod specialty. I really enjoyed the wedge salad with chicken and my boyfriend loves the 1883 burger (the fig jam makes it incredible). The salmon salad is just okay, the salmon's Cajun seasonings don't pair as well with the berries pecans in the salad. There's music downstairs in the 1883 Lounge on weekends, we stopped by briefly down there and it was hopping. Will visit again!

High ranking for cleanliness, hospitality, and location. Two issues: noisy old window AC units make this a place to avoid in hot weather. Continental breakfast is marginal and not available until 8 am. For those needing early morning coffee, the diner down the street opens at 7 am and there's a Dunkin Donuts a short drive away. I would definitely return off-season when no AC is needed.

A stones throw from the gateway onto Cape Cod proper, the Glen Cove Hotel is in sleepy by day, party by night Onset MA. It is truly a one of a kind hotel, perfect for those that do not mind experiencing from the comfort of their lovely room, a little night music. I'll return to the entertainment portion of my comments at the end of this review. The hotel setting is across from Onset Bay/East River inlet in a quiet residential area that shares turf with a few dine in eating places other small hotels. The road can get a little noisy in the evening. The hotel itself is a 3 story Victorian that has a basement speakeasy for evening libations music.There is a restaurant over looking the water a bar on the 1st floor. The second third floors reached by elevator or stairs have queen king rooms, some with private sitting porches looking out onto the water across the street from the hotel. Rooms bathrooms are well kept. Our queen bed was a little creaky not as comfortable as I had hoped but it sufficed.There is no small personal fridge in the room or coffee pot but 1st floor restaurant provides a continental breakfast for overnight guests. On the first night We dined in the restaurant we're very pleased with our dinners. Fish Chips was authentic 2 whole pieces of perfectly fried cod filet as was the generous lobster roll of primarily knuckle claw meat. Service was pleasant accommodating to substitutions. After dinner we retired to our room settled in. We were aware that the establishment hosted local bands musicians in the evening but we passed. That didn't seem to matter though as logistics architecture saw to it that our room was a-rocking until 10 pm on night 1 11 pm on nite 2. Earplugs the a/c turned up didn't really help. We still felt that the Glen Cove Hotel deserved 4 stars for cleanliness, staff friendliness an excellent restaurant.

This hotel overlooks Onset Beach and Stopped by and decided to have a few drinks at the bar and some appetizers for a late afternoon snack. The bartender was very friendly and recommended the wings, which were delicious. They also have homemade fries, which are always a favorite for me. They have live entertainment on the weekends and the band Timeline , I believe was their name, was playing that night. We ordered dinner, and I have to say, I believe it was the best prime rib I have ever had. Good music, excellent food, and a bartender that can make a great dirty martini. I love the speakeasy theme of the bar downstairs and will definitely be back in the summer when I can enjoy the beautiful beach right across the street.
