Our spacious and comfortable room has a lovely view of the shore, cliffs, and ocean. We had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend: the view, the sound of the waves, a big bathtub a big TV and a king bed. We just walked out our door and were on a walking trail along the coast, and could easily get... More

This hotel was recommended to us by a friend who had previously driven down the Pacific Coast Highway. I can and will recommend this hotel to others who are also doing this drive. It is located about halfway between Monterey and Los Angeles and is situated right on the beach. We had an ocean view room, on the bottom level,... More

It's out the door and down to the beach in a short hop. The room was clean and comfortable, the sink area was an L shape with the coffee on the farther side. The bathroom itself was very small, with a jet toilet. Surprisingly, there was little noise from other rooms from the noisy toilet. The rooms are centrally heated,... More

Where else can you get an oceanfront corner room, newly decorated, with a well-stocked fireplace --- for $125 a night??. An amazing location in San Simeon and only 3 miles from downtown charming Cambria. Walking outside of our door you are on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The hotel has set up some fire pits for the use of... More

The 1st time I reviewed this Best Western I said I wish I could keep it a secret. That was because it used to be cheaper to stay here. We had enough rewards points to get a free night here.However, your free night gets you a room in the older section. We did have a partial ocean view if you... More

Confortable, nice bed, large room, full of amenities, fireplace. Fair price but pay attention to the pet friendly rooms: they smell dogs! Unfortunatelly we didn't pay attention to that and the smell was terrible. I suggest the hotel to keep the pet friendly rooms without carpet. And maybe include a bigger warning about the allowance on the website avoiding this... More

We loved this hotel! After spending a few hours at the Hearst Castle we checked in at the Cavalier Resort for the night......what a view! Our room was comfortable and had an amazing view of the ocean, only wish it was warmer so we could have enjoyed the fire pits at sunset. We both slept like babies, woke up well... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here as we were traveling the coast on my motorcycle, and just loved this hotel. It's in the middle of nowhere as the only thing in San Simeon is Hearst Castle, but that didn't matter. Between the ocean view room, the woodstove in the room, and the firepits outside, it is an excellent place to... More

We spent two nights in the Terrace Section of this hotel and enjoyed ourselves greatly. We try to visit this location several times a year and are never disapointed. The Terrace Rooms are right on the water and the view is wonderful. We also enjoy the room service from the hotel restaurant. I know we will keep coming back year... More

My daughter and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean and included a locked mini bar and safe and big flat screen TV.
