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.
