The Cove At Salem
We were in the one bedroom suite with a full kitchen. It was very clean and very nice. We honestly didn't see any of the staff even once which was pretty funny lol. We checked in at 11:00 p.m. so we got a text with our room number and PIN code to get in and then check out was also just a phone call ...
