We enjoyed our stay! Check in at cavalier resort, then we stayed in a clean but admittedly outdated room on the sands by the sea side. The property had a restaurant which we dined out- nothing fancy but it was up to my standard and a fair priced. The property was awesome and we loved sitting by the fireplace after sunset. Convenient location for visiting Hearst castle and Cambria. I would definitely stay here again- good experience and good value!

Carpet was so dirty that we had to wash our feet - which turned the cloth brown - after showering. Carpet was stained and felt wet in spots. We travel frequently and have never had a room that had carpet this disgusting.

"Muy bonito el sitio"

8.0

Esta justo delante de la playa, muy bonito pero no pudimos disfrutar porque no nos daba tiempo. Habitación grande, parking delante de la habitación, dos piscinas, restaurante, tenia hogueras en la playa que podías utilizarla.

Llegamos tarde, ponía checkin hasta las 10 y tuvimos que ir deprisa pero después nos dijo la recepcionista que era 24h, estuvimos llamando y enviando correos para confirmar y no contestaba nadie.

הצוות אדיב מאוד, יש במקום מכבסה ומייבש שסייעו לנו במהלך הטיול, כמו כן קרבה לחוף ומקום נעים לשבת בערב

למרות שהחדר נקי מאוד, הריהוט מעט מיושן

The room itself was dirty. The desk was dusty. It needs a good deep cleaning. Carpet was really dark which almost looked normal until you saw the light colored carpet under the ledge of the nightstand.
