The pictures reflect a charm that simply does not exist in real life. Gosh, where do I start? 1. Sour odor in both halls and room. 2. Peeling paint. 3. Misleading "ocean view" is actually a peek-a-boo over some shrubbery at a 90-degree angle to the water. Yes if you sit in just the right part of the room you... more

We stayed on the hotel that was on the beach. The room was large, clean, and the staff were nice. The only downside was we were on the first floor where a lot of people passed by in the hallway and they were loud. I look forward to staying again in the historic part of the hotel where my grandparents... more

My boyfriend and I had a very romantic weekend at the old Cavalier on the hill. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for younger people looking for nightlife, however, it is very close to the strip. We were very impressed with the old fashioned beauty and grandeur of the lobby, pool area, rooms and sundecks. Had a great time exploring the... more

Good points- After searching the trip for hours looking for decent accomodations at a reasonable price, we were thrilled to find the Cavalier on the Hill. This was the best accomodations of our month long holiday on the east coast. The room was very spacious, bathroom was huge and the beds were comfy. This was one of the only hotels,... more

This hotel is muggy, hot and outdated! The staff act like rude teenagers. The bar is not even fully stocked. The food and presentation are the worse. I don't see how they stay open. The gym is in the parking lot more

We LOVED our stay at the Cavalier on the Oceanfront. The hotel was very clean and our room was recently remodeled. Room was a little small to spend 4 days with two small children, but it was very nice. The kids camps and kids cafe services were AWESOME!! I still can't believe this was a free service! My kids went... more

My review: If you are looking for a hotel that transports you to a different time, the Hotel on the Hill is the perfect choice. LOBBY: The hotel lobby welcomes you with decorum that is reminiscent of the 1920's. The effect is extravagant yet aged. Our checkin was smooth and easy although if it was busier it probably would have... more

We stayed in the old hotel on the hill. We thought it would have old style charm and were shocked to find substandard accomodations and even worse service. You open the cabinet for the tv (it is large enough for roughly a 36" tv and see a tiny little screen and dead batteries for the remote. The bathroom looks like... more

Other than the people that opened the lobby doors, the staff came across as snobbish and uncaring. The sheets on our beds would not stay on the beds as we slept. There was dried urine around the base of the toilet in our room. The airconditioner in our room barely worked, until I (the guest) cleaned the filter. The fitness... more

Yes it is old, that's its charm. Yes it needs some TLC, but that's part of the deal. Yes, it would be better if it had richer parents. So WHAT! This is a grand dame hotel, you know the kind of nostalgia that can't be replicated in a new/authentic facility. It has great views, great light and great bones. The... more
