My only problem was your toilets. They are way too low, not even average height.

Spend the Holidays at the Coast
The week was very nice. We had beautiful weather. Spend the evening sitting by fire pit, you can see the stars at night. Several walking trails to the beaches, and pet friendly place. Love watching the beautiful sunsets. A nice resturant on the premise, food is decent. Place is clean. Definitely coming back in the near future! 5 Stars!

25 December 2024
The Day before I requested a room upstairs to have a better ocean view and this was not honored. By the time a checked in there were no second floor rooms. And the front desk knew I was coming back
And last Sunday we had a power outage for 6 hours (was there on a separate reservation). No $$ discount given after it was promised

I paid extra to get an upgrade to a deluxe room.
It was not my idea of deluxe. The carpet was worn and I concluded that it was dirty because when I stepped into the room, it smelled like somebody had just smoked pot. The smell was still there in the morning when I woke up and the window had been open all night. The hotel is old and dated, so it felt a little dirty. I am fine to stay a night in a hotel like that if I pay $79, but I paid $250 for one night. Not what I expected.

Best of San Simeon!
Cavalier never disappoints! The balcony ocean front rooms with fireplace and rocking chairs are a delight. We stay 3-4 times a year and love it just as much each time.

Very nice beach location. Good food at on-site restaurant. No microwaves in rooms or anywhere on property. Bed was very comfortable. Rooms and furnishings appeared to be showing their age and could use some updating and/or renovation.

Room with an ocean view
Everything was great. View of the ocean with a great patio. The heated pool and hot tub hit the spot on the cold rainy nights. I wish they had small microwaves in the rooms or one that could be checked out from the office if needed.
