Staff goes above and beyond here. Wonderful customer service. Thin walls and uncomfortable beds. Water pressure also lacking. Restaurant food quality was great and again staff is very helpful. Cavalier is a solid no frills hotel for a one night stay to see Hearst castle with the kids.

The hotel is a little dated but we expected that from the reviews. Despite some delay and confusion at check in, we enjoyed our stay. Our room was spacious for a family of 4. The outdoor games, fire pits and beach access are a plus. Plenty of places to take in the beautiful ocean view.

Fantastic property with amazing views and activities. We stayed in an oceanfront view room and it was amazing. We had our patio slider window open most of the day to hear the ocean waves. We had two outdoor chairs with a small table that was perfect for watching the ocean. The property is large and is very family friendly. There are fire pits that are lit every night.

Too many problems. When we arrived at 4:10, our room was not ready. It was 5 before we got a key. Drove to our room. Fortunately, it is a motel where you can park next to your room. We walked in and it was not what we booked. We paid a lot more for a room with a balcony, ocean view and sparkling wine. I went back to the front desk, ready to tell them I was canceling, and got a different key right away. If it was so easy, why did they give me the wrong room the first time? I got the right room, and it was very good. The sparkling wine never appeared. I did not pay a premium price for these hassles. The much cheaper hotels nearby are a better option.

Perfect resort in San Simeon! We loved that it it dog friendly with no extra fees. The have 2 pools and 2 fire pits with lots of chairs. They have outdoor games like giant checkers and Chess. The beach is accessible in the resort. There are paved walkways so it’s easy for the dogs to walk around. They have a restaurant with lots of great selections. The room was spacious and clean. Bed was very comfortable. We got upgraded to ocean view since we have VIP access and free sparking wine as well. Location is very convenient. It’s close to Hearst Castle, Moonstone Beach and Cambria. We loved our stay here!
