The Cavalier Hotel

Check in went good. We decided to eat in the hotel's lounge. We charged the food to the room. We went to the room and got ready for bed and went to sleep. At 1:30 in the morning the front desk manager called me to get a credit card to pay for the food from dinner and stated that since the room was prepaid that we could not charge the room. The toilet was cut off, the ice machines did not work. I will never stay here again.

Good locality, accomodation and good staff. I ould defenitley recommend to other. However, there are two buildings and one is old and the other is new. Old building does not have any facility.

The GOOD... The location couldn't be beat! I'm orgionialy from Virgina Beach and was there to visit relatives so I know the beach area well. The Cavalier is right on the north end of the Virginia Beach Boardwalk so you are close to the action if you want it but off the beaten path so that you can enjoy the quite of if you prefer. We had an Ocean View Room which had a nice little balcony where you could sit and gaze down the beach and enjoy the breezes. The room was clean and the beds were the most comfortable I've slept in away from home. The bathroom was showing some age but was clean and serviced well by the cleaning staff... sorry for all the sand guys! The desk staff needs a few lessons from Disney World... nice but not friendly. The valet staff was awesome... friendly and quick! And the dining room staff was great with the food better than good. They get my vote for the best She Crab Soup I had while visiting this time out of the 3 places I ordered it on this trip. NOT SO GOOD The dining room was understaffed for Saturday morning buffet and somehow between the front desks not clarifying my reservation "type" and total lack of staff in the dinining room that morning... I was not given the information that the breakfast was not included in my "package". So I paid $16 for a scrambled egg and cup of coffee as I went to the buffet line rather than ordering from the menu.. BEWARE... if you book through Orbitz you probably do not have the "package" that includes the breakfast buffet. Be sure to ask and then just order from the menu if its not included with your room. And... bring your own beach towels... the ones offered off the deck are skimpy little things. All in all... one of the best places I've stayed at the Beach outside of renting a beach home and Highly recommended.

When we arrived live music was playing by the pool area so I felt very special. We had a great time. However, we ordered she crab soup and they were out so the food got out of order and some were eating while others waited.

this is an older hotel but very charming. It had the best water pressure in the shower, better even than we have at home. the beds however were extremely soft and uncomfortable

I was under the impression that the Hotel we were staying at was right on the beach (which was why I chose this hotel) But when we got there they informed me that there is 2 Cavalier Hotels. One is on the Hill across the street and the other one is on the Beach. I think they need to be more specific in the listing. And the room was TINY!! was not happy at all spent a lot of money to be NOT on the beach.

The hotel was in a nice location - the beach area was not over-crowded since it was not part of the boardwalk. The pool and restaurants were very nice and it was very convenient for beach use (we stayed in the ocean front building). The staff was very friendly and helpful and did their best to meet our needs. The only complaints we had were that the ice machines and soda machines were often empty on our floor - and the room a/c units are very loud (and the halls are not air conditioned!).

What a disappointment this stay was. The room was supposed to be a superior room, but it was barely bigger than a closet. Also the ice machine was out of order on the 2nd and 3rd floor. For the price we paid, I feel cheated. Will never go back.

I travel often with work and stay at 4-stars+ hotels, so I'm a bit hesitant about booking a room at a non-chain hotel. I did, however, book a one-night stay at The Cavalier Hotel because of the reasonable pricing and no minimum nights for booking. I have to say I was rather impressed with this place! The rooms are clean and have the basic amenities (They make you pay for parking on-site though). It's on the north end of the boardwalk, but not too far from it. The nice thing about their location is the beach isn't overly crawdad by the hotel. There was live band playing for much of day on Saturday by the outside bar and pool. Our room was ocean side, facing North, and arguably a better view than ocean front view. All-in-all a great place to stay for a few nights vacation. I would definitely consider coming back here again.

I liked the hotel(we stayed in over Memorial day holiday), but front desk clerk named Eric was rude and has no professional customer service attitude, if there was no "Eric" incident everything would've been perfect. valet service was good,restaurant experience was good when you have lots of time on your hand(it takes long time to cook your food)
