Rooms are spacious and comfortable. But there was a very heavy smoke smell from the fireplace, the rooms should be aired better in between guests. PLEASE NOTE: Booking offers two room types for ocean view rooms. One of them has a picture of a patio and the other a balcony. We chose the one with balcony thinking it would be upper floor. But the hotel doesn’t have that distinction. So don’t forget to make a note if you want a specific floor.

The location was everything! The amenities were great and we had warm enough weather to enjoy both the pool and the outdoor jacuzzi. The fluffy robes were perfect for enjoying the chilly mornings and enjoying the view.

Minor for other people but we would've liked a microwave in our room. We did enjoy the local restaurants but one day we did have leftovers that we brought home instead. Also, we might be a bit old fashioned, but we're not used to the Keurig-type coffees and didn't come prepared with our own. But that was minor compared to everything else that was great! Will recommend.

The room view was outstanding, we had the King oceanfront room with a fireplace. The balcony had the unobstructed view which was the reason why we reserved the room. Easy access to the beach. The location of the hotel was about 4 1/2 miles from downtown Cambria and few miles from nearby walking trails. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. We had breakfast at the on-site restaurant. The food was good and staff was friendly.

The room is quite outdated, but it was kept very clean. The in-room mini fridge was also nice to have.

Gorgeous property, everything was so green and lush in mid-April. The in-room fireplace was fantastic, especially since we got hit with a couple of rainy days. The mochas at the restaurant were delicious. The view from our room was incredible.

My only complaint- the tv quality was poor, all channels were pretty fuzzy. Now obviously we weren’t there to watch tv, and I would have been content to keep it off the entire time- but we did get hit with a couple of rainy days and with two small children, it can be difficult to keep them entertained (and trust me, we have about every activity you can think of) and sometimes the tv helps with a little downtime.

The Cavalier was the perfect location for us to spend a few days away from the fires down in Southern California. It was peaceful, beautiful and the scenery was priceless. We saw a pod of dolphins while drinking our morning coffee and were able to walk the beach every morning. The fire places at night were the perfect spot for our family to enjoy s'mores and a glass of wine and talk about our highlights of the day.

The grounds were breathtaking as they are right on the shore. There was a giant chess game and fire pits throughout the resort. Since it was January, it was a little cool to be going swimming but there were pools on the grounds as well as a spa. Conveniently located near the front desk was their restaurant. Food was excellent. Hours also accommodate both early birds and night owls.

There was no a/c. The front desk did provide a fan though.

The serenity and views are AMAZING! I slept with the door open and could hear the waves crashing. I loved waking up in the morning and having my coffee on the patio. The crisp, clean air. Just beautiful!!

It is an older motel. It was clean but could use some updating, especially the bed. We stayed in a deluxe King room with an ocean view and patio. There was nothing deluxe about that bed but the views made up for that.

The view was amazing the best iv seen. The room was very very clean and the balcony was large and very comfortable. The bed was clean and comfortable I slept great. It was so quiet and peaceful. The room had a fire place that was very nice. It was my 15 year anniversary for me and my husband and our first time there and im soooo glade we went . I will definitely be going back.

The room and property did not look like the pictures.

It is right on the beach

The place needs a little renovation. It is comfortable and nice. The restaurant on location is good and reasonable price. I forgot a pair of reading glasses that I noticed a day later that I had forgotten in the hotel. I called and they confirmed it was found by housekeeping. I would have expected them to have sent a message or call saying that they had found some in the room, but they didn’t. The towels were really thin and some had hair on it, and the linens were flimsy and. The pillows were also in bad shape. We liked the place and will come back.

What a great stay. A little gem which surprised us. We were driving through to San Francisco and stopped here for the night. It was a step back in time but the room was cozy and spacious and had everything we needed, and if it didn’t they would have got that for us. We had dinner at the restaurant and the service was excellent as was the food. Staff were very helpful in letting us know what’s great in the area to see. We dropped into the little winery 5 minutes from there which was beautiful. We picked up a bottle of red from there to have around one of the three bonfires they light each night. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get a spot it was so busy so we went back to the room after sun down as it was too cold. We used the laundry facility which was helpful. About 15 minutes drive from there are the elephant seals, which is a must! There were people staying there that seemed to be regulars as this was a peaceful and relaxing place to stay which we enjoyed.
