Had the most fantastic week stay. I’m a long time visitor of the Cavalier. My only minor issue was when I use the floor heater to warm up the room. It also warmed up the RV style refrigerators in the room so that they were not cold anymore.🙂

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.
