We loved this location! Plan on coming back for a longer stay. Loved that the hotel was able to accommodate a slightly earlier check-in, that they were able to upgrade us (completely worth it) to a full balcony facing the ocean, and that dining onsite was available. The restaurant has many options, and service was fast and courteous.

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
