We loved our stay at the Cavalier. Upon arrival we received an upgrade to a room with an ocean view, fireplace and balcony. The views are fantastic! Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful and close to Hearst Castle, hiking trails and nearby Cambria. Just a suggestion, bring your Amazon Fire stick with you if you want to watch tv. The basic tv in the room is analog.

Our interactions with hotel and restaurant staff were very pleasant; everyone was very accommodating. Check-in and check-out were easy and quick. The room was clean and comfortable. The ocean view was fantastic. We have only two minor criticisms: 1) There was no microwave and the refrigerator was VERY small and almost completely filled with hotel snacks and drinks. 2) The tv channel selection was very limited. Granted, we don't go to the coast to watch tv, but we want more than news and sports.

**Check-in was smooth and the staff was friendly. The location is lovely and really the highlight of the property. That said, the rooms feel very dated and could use an update. I was disappointed with the “upgrade” I was offered. I originally booked a Deluxe room with a King and a fireplace and was upgraded to a Premium Bluff King, also with a fireplace. Unfortunately, the room was on the first floor, very dark, and had a noticeable smoky smell. There was no ocean view from the room itself—only if you stepped outside. While the fireplace was larger, we were only there one night, and the view mattered far more to us. Interestingly, my daughter kept her original Deluxe King room and had a beautiful Pacific Ocean view with a smaller fireplace, which neither of us really cared about. Overall, it’s an okay hotel for a short stay because of the location, but I’d recommend being cautious about accepting an “upgrade” and confirming the view before doing so.**

Great location. The sound of the ocean from your patio and a fireplace to sit around at night. We went here for a couple's weekend away. 10 minutes to Hearst Castle, 10 to Cambria, and 30 to Morro Bay. Perfect location. The food was great, and the staff were very friendly and professional.

The setting of the Cavalier Resort is beautiful, so the location did not disappoint. I really wanted to like the resort itself, but there were a few things that could be improved upon. First, they were fully booked but clearly not staffed to handle it, so several guests, ourselves included, were not able to check in until after the 4 pm check-in. They seemed very overwhelmed. One of the things they advertised was the s'mores kits for the property's fire pits. When I asked for one for my son, I was told they had sticks, but if I wanted to make s'mores, I would have to go to the store to buy the rest. The resort itself could use some updates; the rooms were somewhat dated, although comfortable. We stayed in a room that had a connecting room. The walls were very thin, and the guests next to us were loud, and it sounded like they were in our room. Lastly, as a family-friendly resort that offers room service, it would be nice if they were a bit more flexible. On our last night, my son was tired, so we wanted to order food to the room. They had pasta, but my son is picky, so I asked them to make penne with butter. They seemed a bit confused, so I clarified over the phone that they could do just penne with butter, and they assured me they could. When they brought it, it was basically their fettuccine Alfredo dish with chicken, but without the Alfredo sauce, and it was $26. Not what I was expecting. If they couldn't do it, I wish they had told me.

Kind of expensive for what you're getting with the dated decor and small rooms, but as they say location, location, location. Bed was comfortable a little more toward firm than soft so your results may vary. A good mix of firm and soft pillows with only one really lumpy one. Housekeeping every three days, but friendly and responsive staff if you ever needed anything sooner. Small jacuzzi was a bit far from our room but nice and hot. Definitely not a great property if you are in a wheelchair. Narrow doorways and tall treads and paths that end randomly in grassy areas. Two pools on site and moderately heated but not warm for winter swimming. On site restaurant and one not far away both were mediocre but the food was tasty enough. Spectacular views and nice fire pits if you got one early and smore kits for sale in the lobby. Really great staff all around.
