We stayed at the Best Western Cavalier Oceanfront Resort San Simeon on a trip up PCH from LA to San Francisco. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. We booked a king room (for what we thought was a bargain price of $99USD AAA rate). The room was spacious with a good sized bathroom, very comfortable bed and its... More

We received excellent service at this hotel and were extremely well looked after. Unfortunately we don't know the name of the gentleman we dealt with as he deserves a mention, however hopefully he will know who he is. The views from the hotel were amazing. We were only stayed one night, but would have loved to have stayed an extra... More

Cause if I had gaffer tape (Room 165) I could have stuck the door back that kept drifting closed in front of the TV – the TV had poor reception and not a flat screen. But that sadly was only the start – I can’t tell you how unhappy we were here. The bed was too hard. The noise insulation... More

This hotel was fine for a one night stay on our drive down to LA from SF. Our room was very basic, but that is what was expected. The grounds surrounding the hotel are lovely and I wish we had had more time to enjoy the nightly fires on the the beach.

We had a very relaxing time, my husband, and I. I can't wait to stay there again. We had an ocean view room and were still steps from the water...beautiful and romantic. We had a warm fire in the fireplace and still had the ocean breeze...excellent service. Highly recommended.

I stayed at this property for one night during a visit to Hearst Castle. I was pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. The room was clean and well kept with some nice upgrades. The vanity area near the bathroom had granite countertops and the hotel provided just about every toiletry item you could possibly need. The front lobby staff was extremely... More

We stayed here for one night when visiting Hearst Castle and the Seal Beach (both of which are great excursions). This hotel was excellent and a very good value. We ate dinner and breakfast at the onsite restaurant and enjoyed both. The room was nice, and we had a very good night's sleep. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Just off Highway 1 on the ocean side, book an ocean view room if possible, comfy armchairs to sit by the fire if it is a little chilly, patio chairs to sit and watch the ocean. Restaurant on site which was good, but closes at 9pm so make sure you are seated before then as they are strict on closing... More

We stayed here for one night on our way (road trip) from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The hotel was the midpoint and was conveniently located on Cabrillo Highway, so we didn't have to take any detour or turns inside any town. The hotel offered free onsite parking, so we didn't have to worry about leaving luggage in the car... More
