The room is average, the facilities are old, and the hygiene is OK. But the location is very good, there is a beach behind the hotel, and it is very convenient to see the sea.

This was a great one night stay great stop for road trips with an amazing sunset view. The room was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this as a short stay over. The location was great as we got to see the sea lions not too far from the motel as well as visit hurst castle.

We actually stayed at the property next to the Cavalier. It was a lovely spot, right next to the beach. In the evening, the hotel lit fires in outdoor fireplaces which made a cozy spot to watch the sunset. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the amenities. The restaurant next door was good. We had dinner and breakfast there.

Este hotel está en buena ubicación ya tenía tiempo que quería conocer este lugar. Y un fin de semana decidimos ir con mi Esposo . Se nos hizo un lugar muy divertido . Nos gusto las fogatas que hacen en la noche el lugar está muy tranquilo, y los cuartos del hotel están en buen estado .

L'état général de la chambre limite, ménage laisse à désirer, fenêtre sales, cheveux dans les serviettes propres, pas de vue sur la mer possible, piscine intérieur fermée, machine à glaçons HS, et la cerise sur la gâteau, le petit-déjeuner n'est pas compris, ils vous donnent simplement un vouchers d'une valeur de 5 dollars à déduire de la facture finale de 40$ !!! A fuir absolument !!!

I went on a mid week trip with my pup to check on the Elephant Seals and get some work done. Upon arrival the Front Desk Lady "Maria" was real rude. Secondly, the room itself was absolutely disgusting. I should have just stayed at the Motel 6 across the street. It would have been cheaper and probably cleaner with attentive staff. I won't bore anyone with the long details but there was a giant piece of bone in my 20$ burger, hair and stains and rips allllllll over the sheets. Janky doors with faulty locking mechanisms...I will go on....the shower was built for a sea squirrel- so tiny I could barely shave....loud people all night, rips in the window screen-a super creepy fire alarm on the wall. TO TOP IT OFF a man bringing me a sheet and a blanket let himself into my room after, and I quote, "Knocked and nobody answered so I let myself in." DO NOT STAY HERE.

The location is great, but the beds are the worst! I woke up every hour to walk or move. Never go there. My back hurts so much. And it is very noisy. The view is amazing and the bathroom also. But thats it.

This resort is a gem on the central coast of California. The two queen room we had was a bit dated, but the beds were comfortable, we had plenty of space for our family, and we even had a sliver of a view of the ocean from our window. The expansive oceanfront lawn with fireplaces and games was wonderful and the small yet nice pool was also appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.
