    Pros +

    • Proximity to ocean, views
    • Location...they gave us a 10 dollar bottle of champagne which we couldn't drink.
    • The Cavalier was great!! We’ll definitely be returning. The grounds were gorgeous and everything inside and outside was pristine. Beds were very comfortable and layout was perfect with a nice coffee area near the sink. It was truly one of the best rooms!

    Cons -

    • The room contained a wood-burning fireplace. The base was raised approximately 2-3 inches off the floor. Both my daughter and I tripped over it, a safety hazard. Also, the location is very remote, with very few dining options.
    • Rooms are old. Key cards did not work 3 times so family had to wait outside till I walked back to the office. Binoculars were broken when we arrived.
    • Nothing major! It would have been really nice if the hot tolub was open a little later; it closed at 9pm.

    The view was beautiful from most rooms. If your room wasn't along the ocean, there was walking paths to view the beach.

    Restaurant wasn't the best for what the hotel offers. With the location and views, I had higher expectations for the food quality.

    5BrendaPosted on: 9-23-2025

    View and location

    Rooms are very dated and smelled of smoke. We were forced to keep our doors closed due to smoke billowing from a room next to us, which made the room stuffy. Also, someone entered our room while we were sleeping.

    7Verified guestPosted on: 9-17-2025

    The location, beachfront and activities they had set up for use were all great.

    No AC, no screen on the patio door. The fireplace was extremely smokey.

    5Verified guestPosted on: 9-14-2025

    Closeness to landmarks

    I paid for a room with an unobstructed view to the ocean but instead got a room that barely showed the ocean and mostly showed trees (room 271).

    7PeterPosted on: 9-13-2025

    Location and view. The fire pits at night were wonderful.

    Pet friendly - so the carpets had a very musty smell. Our room had many and more small ants that patrolled the entire room - including the inside of the coffee maker - so don’t leave food out.

    9BrianPosted on: 9-3-2025

    The location and the view.

    Very weak shower water pressure.

    We did not get the room we booked. Room was dirty.

    Location

    You are a 3.5 star hotel made into a doggie hotel then please make sure they stay in downstairs rooms!! It is not fair to the rest of the guests to be woken up at 5am by dogs running on your ceiling!! Quiet time is 10pm - 8 am, the manager said

    5Verified guestPosted on: 5-29-2025

    The location

    The room had very old carpet and furniture. It smelled really bad in the room.

    4ShirleyPosted on: 5-13-2025

    The ocean view

    Broken front door, no screen door leading out to the balcony, and needed a good deep cleaning

    10Verified guestPosted on: 1-3-2025

    The hotel provided champagne and party goods for fun New Year?s Eve. We gathered around the fire outside and visited others that has stayed there too. Was a lovely evening. The food was wonderful And Hearst Castle was enchanting

    The only nice thing about this place is the oceanfront

    It was overpriced will not be staying here again. Also they should offer something for special event like birthdays.

    10PaulPosted on: 11-18-2024

    Professional staff, great views, cleanliness of rooms and entire resort!

    5DavidPosted on: 9-17-2024

    Right on the beach.

    Our room was in total disrepair, the drapes had holes in them, the upholstered chairs were worn out, the carpet was filthy (we washed our feet after walking on the carpet, the washcloth was black), the fireplace screen was clogged with ash...

    8DanielPosted on: 8-14-2024

    The location, the amenities, and the pleasant and responsive staff members.

    Our room smelled a little musty when we first arrived, but it was minor in comparison to the good times we had.

    10DebraPosted on: 8-13-2024

    Beautiful location, right next to the beach. Loved the fire pits at sunset.

    It?s very dated, but it was an overall great experience.

    4MatthiasPosted on: 7-23-2024

    A good location for visiting the Hearst castle. Location near the water.

    Rooms are smelly and outdated. Not really clean rooms. Staff answered a bit rude to questions of mine.
