The Cavalier is a nice option for rest, relaxation and scenic beauty.
Pros:

The seating areas and the wood burning fire pit areas overlooking the beach and ocean were comfortable and inviting. Wood was delivered to each fire pit daily prior to sunset. Our group of 3 joined a gentleman already seated at the fire pit our first evening at the Cavalier, then another couple joined the 4 of us. Needless to say, engaging and pleasant conversation ensued amongst "strangers" as we enjoyed the coziness of the fire and the sounds of the ocean.

A quiet and relaxing place to rest facing California.
Pros:

The ocean view is wonderful; there are few places where you can literally open the window and the first thing you see is the sea. The hotel is excellent—clean, with parking—and it is super close to Hearst Castle.

Cons:

The room seems a bit expensive to me; however, I wouldn't say it's extremely expensive—just a little.

Pros:

Situació

Cons:

No té aire condicionat. No sé si és un tema de normativa, però en un lloc que s'arriba a més de 40 graus centígrads, no es pot acceptar que un hotel no tingui aire condicionat.

Disappointed first timers
Pros:

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, however there were a few disappointments. For example, even though we Booked weeks in advance, we were given a room with an adjoining door and could hear the neighboring guests. We asked to be reassigned, and luckily there was one room left in the King building. We were very disappointed that there was no in room fridge since we had food and beverages that needed to stay cold. Not sure that we would return, but will most likely look for a nicer hotel in Cambria. To end on a positive note, the sunset was gorgeous.
