It's a little dated. Did not get the room I was supposed to get. Nice evening fire pits. Staff very nice

Rooms are decent, no fridge, no microwave, but the view is nice and the hiking is good. They have games for families to play with outside and fire pits they light at dawn. My wife and I like this location for the quiet atmosphere. It's a nice getaway from life stressors. It's an older hotel so it's a little rustic but we like the area.

Absolutely disappointed. Old smelly room. Two of the three lamps not working at all, no power. Found a type of nose bandaid, like for better breathing, on the shelf inside shower/tub, was the bathroom even cleaned? They had the time to clean, checking was not till 16:00. I brought up the issues to the front desk clerk, he couldn’t have care less, not even an apology… the $5 bar tab could have been forgiven. If planking to stay in San Simeon, keep driving and/or stay in Cambria.
The restaurant service was great to be treated, after the food was served, no sign of waiter till I was done… fish was frozen then cook to dry level, not even lemon served, boxed mashed potatoes and frozen mixed veggies… should have gone to the Mexican place.
The view was the “only” positive and the groundskeepers were the most attentive towards guests. Talking with other guests, that also had issues. Never again will I stay there.
Ps: fridge was also dirty.

We've been coming to Cavalier Inn for years and years. Awesome location, ocean front. Rooms are comfortable but well worn. Service is good. Dog friendly makes the price worth it during peak season. Great value in the off season.

I am losing track of how many times I have been here, absolutely amazing in every way! Surf and tranquility. Birds and the wind. Incredible and serine. I recommend and will return. Peace ✌️

My wife and I spent two wonderful days here and found it to be very enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were beautiful with patios looking right over the ocean. You would expect to pay a lot more for these types of accommodations, but their prices are very reasonable. Highly encourage you to pay them a visit!

Rooms were no big deal other than it had a wood stove. Never could get a fire in it. Very slow room service. Lots of electrial outlets as well ax USB charging ports. TV reception was terrible with no guide available. I was told it was online, but it wasn't.

For the money, you can't beat it. Two pools, a hot tub and extensive oceanfront grounds which include communal firepits, oversized chess boards and cornhole sets. Beach access is a casual stroll from any room, with excellent dining options not much further off.

I guess reading other reviews I am not the only person this has happened to but when i walked into the lobby i waited a good 3 minutes until someone welcomed me and my family while there was 2 people doing something behind the desk. Then when I was finally helped and the people behind the desk were very rude and impolite to my family. The view is great and the stay is great but the service was not great at all

Best location. Access to beach area, lawns leading to beach had games to play and fire place. Cafe breakfast was delicious, fluffy soft stCk of pancakes. Rooms were old than i had anticipated from the pictures. Parking was good, courteous staff. Only 5 mins away from Hearst castle.

We stayed at the Moonstone in Cambria for a day, since we arrived early & were unable to check in to our reservation with the Cavalier in San Simeon a day early (no vacancy). Well, I truly wish we had stayed at our first stop all together. If we didn't already have reservations I would have reconsidered. Our room smelled like a musty ash tray. Just TERRIBLE! We noticed the front window & bath were open a crack when we arrived. I'm assuming the previous guests couldn't handle the smell either. The overall appearance of the place is a bit dingey & outdated, but the smell was the major issue. It made the entire place feel gross. I will also say, the location isn't worth all the hype. Cambria's 5 minutes away and has much better restaurants & shops, all within walking distance. Our first hotel in Cambria was across the street versus oceanfront, but still had a better view & convenient walk to the beach. Moonstone's continental breakfast was also great & the room was absolutely amazing, all at a less expensive price than the Cavalier. I would highly recommend checking out other places in the area. We won't be staying here again.

So very disappointed. Only arrived 30 mins ago. My partner and I walked into reception, both desk reps didn't even bother to look up and say hello or welcome, continued working on whatever was more important than welcoming a guest. I, in fact, welcomed myself at which point they actually looked up and informed me they would be helping me shortly. I had requested an ocean view room to be told that I didn't?? We are currently in room 225, facing the pool and other building. The room is very clean and well furnished however quite dark. Unfortunately, the switch on the standard lamp is broken and we can't turn it on. I'm actually visiting from the UK and my stay here and the Hearst Castle tour is the last 2 days of my trip. Really sorry it had to end this way, driven from Vancouver, BC, to Palm Springs and had nothing but exceptional customer service. This is such a special place. The surroundings are breathtaking and the resort location couldn't be better. I'm so sorry to leave this review, but feel it is warranted.

I usually choose a large hotel chain to stay at but from advertising I received from Cavalier Oceanfront Resort, thought I’d give them a try. Upgraded to oceanfront patio view and a fireplace, and loved it. Staff very helpful, and only thing we lacked was a microwave in the room. But little details like 3 fire pits that are lit at sundown, towels to wipe morning mist off windshields, thick towels in your room, and hotel mini bar containing all your needs at at a reasonable price. That’s some of the little details I truly appreciated we enjoyed. So glad we stayed here

PCF was closed at Big Sur so by the time we back tracked it had gotten dark and we needed somewhere to stay. Found this awesome place to stay. Beach front, rooms were warm and cozy. Fire place included. Quiet with great staff. We would absolutely come back to stay again.

Rooms were a bit dated and dingy but staff and service were all excellent. Grounds are gorgeous...even in the storm we were having while visiting. Loved it!

Value for money

Location

Cleanliness

Setting / ambience

Service

D'accord la situation tout au bord du Pacifique est exceptionnelle. Mais le prix exigé (330 $ pour une chambre "king ocean front, fireplace" en septembre - sans petit déjeuner) n'est pas justifié pour plusieurs raisons : salle de bains moche, bouteille d'eau payante.
