Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

The rooms are a little dated, but if you can get past that and realize you’re there for the atmosphere, you’re golden. The views certainly didn’t disappoint. Was nice having an in-room fireplace. We made good use of that during our stay. It was convenient having the restaurant right there for the first night. After a long drive to the hotel that was a real bonus. The fire pits on the beach were awesome.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The property is dated but comfortable and clean. Bed was comfortable and pillows were generously big. The grounds are extensive with plenty of places to sit and watch the ocean. Beach access was easy if you aren't mobility challenged. Staff is very friendly. We watched a pod of dolphins play from the bench by the bluff. I would absolutely stay here again.

Motel, not a resort! Only king rooms have view of beach. 2 queen rooms are in parking lot - view of cars. Rooms are old and carpet and bathrooms are pretty gross. Mini bar fridge is barely cool and no microwave- we even asked at front desk. Paying for proximity to beach. We wish we had stayed in Cambria - SUPER CUTE!

I stayed at this motel from Saturday, August 1, to Sunday, August 2, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The room was not properly cleaned, and the bathtub was extremely dirty and drain was not working. I had to contact the front desk, and they sent someone to clean and service it while I was still in the room. A guest should not have to request basic cleaning after checking in. I also accidentally left an expensive pair of headphones in the room. I called the motel on Monday, the day after checking out, but I was told that nothing had been found. I returned in person on Tuesday and spoke with the manager, but I received the same response. I understand that guests are responsible for their belongings, but considering how quickly I contacted the motel, I expected the situation to be handled with more care and concern. Between the poor cleanliness and the way the missing item was handled, this was a very bad experience. Based on my stay, I cannot recommend this motel.

This hotel is a great choice for people looking to tour Hearst castle. Beach is a 5 minute walk. The service is kind and attentive and everything we had from the on-site restaurant was a hit. The only mark against it was the dated and old room. It was relatively clean but its age made it look less clean than it was. Would stay again but will specify/ask for a better room.

You are TAKING ADVANTAGE of your guests with your prices!! $400 a night for this? That's down right DIABOLICAL! I mean.... nice location of course, on the ocean...but that's where it ALL MOSTLY STOPS! Very outdated and dirty old rooms. There were snot rags (used tissues) all behind the night stands and carpets were dingy and old as can be. Wore our shoes most days in the room. Coffee makers in the rooms are a straight up health code hazards. You open the machine, and the water resevoir is saturated with dirt and hard water. Just looks like a toxic disaster. I just wanted a cup of coffee...so was forced to order it from your overpriced restaurant. No microwave is a cute way of you trying to force us to eat at your health hazard waiting to happen, restaurant I'm guessing? Very old and outdated restaurant, pool, list goes on. We were scared to eat at the restaurant after arriving and using the restrooms after a long drive... spoke VOLUMES!! Whole place smelled and looked DINGY when you walk in! Bathrooms were disgusting! Im not gonna say what is all over the walls around the mens unrinals! Filthy place! Ya'll should be seriously ashamed! ESPECIALLY for what ya'll are charging per night! And your restaurant FOOD PRICES! THEY ARE CRAZY!! For an old run down facility like this! It's border line ILLEGAL. I get ya'll have a beach front property and all.... BUT ENDS THERE. MAJOR let down unfortunately. We traveled very far to come here, and were not overly impressed to say the least. We ordered some food from your restaurant to our room VERY cautiously - after seeing your restaurant upon arrival. Like as in: Just salad, coffee, bacon lol SAFEST bets as possible food illness wise. The ocean front room VIEW is nice (not the rooms), and staff was courteous for the most part (arriving - young gal at front desk was not to enthused to be at work). Rest of the folks were great. Special shout out to "Roxy" I beleive her name was? She was professional and made the place shine more than all the dirt that hides its true potential!! I'D KINDLY ADVISE THAT THE OWNERS STOP BEING CHEAP AND GIVE THIS PLACE THE FULL OVERHAUL IT DESPERATELY NEEDS - AND HAS BEEN NEEDING... THAT - OR DROP THE PRICES TO UNDER HALF OF WHAT YOU ARE CHARGING... Online pics make it look so much nicer. BECAUSE IT'S TRULY HIGHWAY ROBBERY FOR WHAT YOU GET FOR YOUR $$ ...
