"Staff was amazing and super helpful, the hotel we stayed at was a “sister” hotel of the Cavalier, not bad for the price. The property itself is a bit outdated, outlets were broken & loose making it hard to charge any electronics, but the plus is being a sister facility you are able to utilize all of the amenities of the Cavalier hotel as well."
