The hotel stated that the room would be see cleaned within 3 hours after request. I called at about 9:30an and informed the staff that we would be out of the room until mid afternoon. After our return at about 3:30 the room had not been cleaned. I called the front at about 4:30 and asked when the room would be cleaned. The cleaning staff had already gone home and a front office person came and basically exchanged the towels. We checked out of the hotel the next day, one day early. Would not recommend!

Our room was comfortable and had a splendid view of the ocean. The surroundings were a little dated (e.g., popcorn ceilings) but we appreciated the quiet, the fireplace and the location was terrific.

My friend + I were on our annual vacation and selected the Cavalier after a visit to Hearst Castle. Beautiful area. Gorgeous views just wish the weather was better. We jumped in the ocean anyway!! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others

Amazing views. Not a super huge property so it feels cozy and homy. The staff are super nice and helpful. They even have a really cool diner right next to it so you don't have to go far to grab a bite. Of course, the view of the ocean is the best part. 10/10 hotel.

Cavalier Resort is wonderful! Not only was the staff friendly and welcoming but the amenities really offer a pleasant touch. We especially enjoyed the lawn games and the close proximity to the ‘ocean front’. Waking up to a morning walk with our pup while listening to the ocean waves was a nice departure from the noise we’re used to in LA! I will definitely stay here again when I’m in the area! Thank you!

Older hotel in need of renovations with great view

Older hotel that is not evident in pictures online. Furnishings and carpet worn out. Room was not very clean - sliding door had handprints from children and outside had not been cleaned in some time making it difficult to see the ocean view. Fireplace odor in room was very strong. Hair found in sheets when pulled back, but the bed was made. Sink faucet handle did not turn off without some force. Older hotel that really needs updating and especially for the price paid per night. Upon notice to the hotel about the sheets and sliding door cleanliness, the staff was prompt in changing the bed sheets and cleaning the glass door. The maintenance person was very professional and nice. The fireplace odor is standard I was told by the front desk. Something that should be noted online so guests are aware when booking. Ocean view was fabulous, the restaurant was good and staff were great. However, for the cost and the dated rooms, I likely will not stay here again.
