Booked the ocean front balcony for Valentines and went to Hearst Castle with my husband. My husband said the staff was amazing, I had to call 3x to request my promised bottle of wine. I mean if you like outdated hotels this is for you. Nothing against the place, I’m just a 5* resort kinda gal who loves ocean front but the one you can swim in. I guess I figured booking the most expensive hotel in the town would get me the best. I loved the firepit and games on the sand with volleyball. I would stay here again and bring my kids because it was quiet and it is the best hotel in this town.

A Bit Old and musty, not up to today's standards, that's the way the owners like it we were told, you are there for the sites, but when you do come back to your room, you would like to be up to today's amenities unfortunately they aren't, Not super important to have proper working TV or a fridge, or a decent shower, especially when you get the Deluxe room at that price. First thing you see is the 70s when you walk in. which isn't a bad thing it was still comfortable. We still enjoyed our stay but we'll choose a different place next time. Thanks

Waterfront room , Balcony, fireplace, perfect spot to unwind for a night or two. Listening to the waves break along the beach just outside our room was so relaxing, beautiful sunset, quiet room, waking up to a foggy coastal morning, lighting the fireplace, enjoying coffee on the balcony. What more can you ask for.

The first room had noisy people next door and they moved us without a fuss. View from the room was wonderful and we loved having a fire at night. It was too cold for us, but there were also in the fireplaces outside nearer the beach. The view was as wonderful as the pictures. We will be back.

Best of San Simeon

Staying at Cavalier is always an excellent experience… It is a bit pricey, but the view from the Kings row rooms is fantastic. The rooms are starting to show a little wear with peeling wallpaper here and there sink faucets out of adjustment, etc. but these are all very minor things. Overall, we lovecavalier!
