Perhaps my standards are too high, but it is an understatement to say the Cavalier was an disappointment at multiple levels. Once the Grand Dame on Virginia Beach, this old lady has fallen from its once lofty heights. The rooms are dated- the height of fashion in the early 1980's. the elevator rattle like death traps, the carpets is filthy,... More

I had booked this hotel for two nights for US Finals. My daughter had a birthday around the same time, so having done my research, I called to make sure the indoor pool would be open. I was assured it would be, despite it's location in the hotel on the hill. I made plans for a pool party with her... More

Since moving into the area last year, I've often driven past this grand hotel on a majestic lawn whenever I hung out at the Oceanfront. Having the opportunity to spend a couple nights here for a conference, I was excited to see what they have to offer for a beach-side resort. Since it was off-peak, the oceanfront location (across the... More

Stayed at the cavalier hotel in early may. Hoping for nice beach weather but it was cold and windy so we hung out inside. Staff was friendly and helpful. Handicap accesible hotel. Something hard to find anywhere. Good food. Clean rooms. Short walk to area attractions. Plenty of parking. Only disappointment was that the indoor pool was closed for renovation.

Went for the weekend for a Beach Relic Hunt. We did not realize it was also College Beach Week. Stayed at the Comfort Inn Friday night and almost lost our lives. (No exaggeration). There were literally thousands of college kids rioting in the streets. Saturday morning, we checked out of the Comfort Inn and went to the Cavalier for the... More

Visited for a weekend with my family and stayed in two rooms in the Oceanfront hotel. The staff was very accomodating, and the rooms were clean. The hotel was likely a grand place years ago, but it could now use some updating and sprucing up. I was surprised to find that, although we visited during the off-season (April) many of... More

I sometimes like to stay in older hotels because you get to see design elements like wood carvings and hand-crafted metalwork that no one does anymore (think Waldorf Astoria in NY). The tradeoff is usually smaller rooms, older HVAC systems and inferior technology - the Cavalier has all of these issues. What is essential with the older 'grand" hotels is... More

Visited for one weekend night for a conference and liked the service. Arrived early (8:00 AM) and not expecting to be able to check into the room until 4:00 PM and the desk informed me that if I would be willing to switch to another room configuration and location that they would be able to check in immediately.

View Was Very Nice From Our Room But The Room Itself Was Very Bland And Cold. Reminded Me Of A Motel 8 With A Hilton PriCe. Could Hear Other Guests In The Hall And Noise From A Party 2 Floors Above Our Room.
