Pine Knolls Estates Hotels, Cambria

"Great place to enjoy the ocean and the pines! Hotel was clean, well maintained and well equipped. And what a great view from the room! "

"This is the place to stay if you are visiting San Simeon or Cambria. It is only about six minutes away from Hearst Castle and another four minutes to get up to viewing the elephant seals. All of the staff is super friendly and attentive to anything you need. The breakfast is something to write home about: eggs, bacon, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, cold cereals, fruit: everything you might want. (Did I mention the cookies? Upon check-in or anytime you want to wander to the lobby for a cup of coffee and a cookie.). The pool was warm, even in March, and the hot tub was perfect. There’s even a table fire-pit for chilly nights or mornings. "

"Great location "

"If you're looking for a coastal getaway on the Central Coast, the Cavalier Oceanfront Resort in San Simeon, CA is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome — everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. We stayed in a Deluxe King Room with a patio and ocean view on the first floor — a perfect setup for us and our service dog. The patio gave our pup easy outdoor access without any hassle, and waking up to an ocean view was simply beautiful. It's worth noting that first floor rooms come with a patio while second floor rooms have a balcony — the layouts are otherwise the same, so it just comes down to personal preference. The room itself was comfortable and well-appointed, and when I called to request fluffier pillows, they were delivered promptly — a small touch that made a big difference. We also had dinner at the hotel restaurant and were thoroughly impressed. The Chicken Marsala was absolutely delicious — we enjoyed every single bite. It's the kind of meal that makes you want to skip going out altogether. The Cavalier is a special place — beautifully situated along the Pacific, with a team that clearly takes pride in making every guest feel at home. We will definitely be returning, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway on the California coast. That room detail is really helpful for future guests trying to decide between floors! Would you like any other changes, or are y"

"Staff was very nice. We could walk down to the beach no showers no public bathroom on the beach. The pool is nice there no Jacuzzi they had a good breakfast."

"Yes they welcomed my dog. Clean ocean front"

"No shops except in Cambria which requires a drive. Pool is comfortable. Rooms were clean and nice size. No rooms with balconies, so you have to sit in the lawn chairs if you want to enjoy the view."

"Nice hotel is a great location right across from the beach! The room was spacious with a fireplace (not sure how to operate as there was no visible buttons or remote). The bathroom was fine and the mini-fridge was nice to have. They serve a decent continental breakfast with high quality coffee and tea and had cookies upon arrival! The bed was comfortable with nice bedding as well. During our stay it was unusually warm in Cambria (80 degrees during the day) and there was no AC! Probably not an issue most of the time but it made it hard to get a good nights sleep due to the temperature of the room. There was a fan but it was not sufficient and there was no air circulation from the windows..."

"Our stay was very pleasant, good beds and clean room. Priti in reception was so nice, she immediately offered to mail me an item i left behind by mistake. Thank you for this extra service mindedness. "
