What guests think

At Cavalier South Beach Hotel, guests love the prime Ocean Drive location across from the beach and the vintage Art Deco character, while feedback frequently highlights friendly staff, compact rooms, and the building’s charming but unreliable old elevator.

Many describe clean spaces, comfortable beds, and handy beach chairs and towels. Recurring downsides include thin walls and hallway noise, occasional AC or hot water problems, sliding bathroom doors that lack privacy, and parking that relies on public garages or pricey valet. Overall, expect a characterful, centrally located boutique stay best for travelers prioritizing beach access over extensive amenities.

Unbeatable location—easy walk across the street to the beach, restaurants everywhere. Clean, cozy, comfortable room and beds. Bathroom was less private than ideal, a sliding door with a large gap no matter how you closed it. The vintage elevator is charming but unreliable, it wasn’t working intermittently during our stay, including the early morning when we checked out so we had to take three flights of stairs with our suitcases and toddler. If an elevator is an absolute must for your stay I would be weary of this option. Be mindful of the daily resort fee.

Amazing place!!! There is a parking garage right behind the property and only 20$ for 24 hours and 2$ an hour. Much cheaper than the valley parking(they probably just park the car there anyways. It’s a public parking garage and there were a lot of spots open the two days we went. The room was beautiful and excellent view

Cute hotel in a bustling area in South Beach. The hotel is dated, so things like heating / AC didn't work. Additionally the hot water on the sink did not turn on. I am an Expedia VIP and did not receive my bottle of wine until I went back and asked for it. The free breakfast was cold, but kept us full until lunch time. No hotel parking, but there is a parking garage very close by. Tldr: stay here for a cute hotel in a very walkable area of south beach. Don't expect too much in the way of modern amenities. I would stay again if the price was agreeable.

The location is on a 'quiet' South Beach block directly across from the beach. Easy walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Bus and trolley public transportation within two blocks. The beach chairs/towels were a nice amenity, but there really were not any other notable 'special' amenities. While the property was very clean, the antiquated elevator (from the 1930s?) to the upper floors was broken about 80% of our stay, we were assigned to a room that had a noisy rodent in the air vent that they REFUSED to respond and remove, and the restaurant food was bland and billing charged an automatic 20% gratuity without legible warning. The lobby staff were very detached and standoffish, never greeted with friendly smile.

I was going to rate my stay good at first because the receptionist or front desk lady that helped me was very helpful until I got to the room and use the bathroom. It smelled really nasty like a gasoline station restroom. The strong scent of pee was all over the toilet or on the floor was just disgusting. It was a black or very dark flooring tiles so who ever is the cleaning people that cleaned it did a terrible job by not moping or disinfecting the toilet or floor. We had to put a towel on the floor coz we didn’t want to step all over it and use a mask so we wouldn’t smell the pee. I went downstairs to the front desk and complain to a guy who was working the night shift but he told me that it was already late and there’s no more cleaning ladies around at that time so we had to suck it up. Luckily we only stayed a night.

We stayed from Oct 1 thru Oct 5 and found few things with concerns. On the first night, spotted huge cockroach by the bed on the wall and we killed it. We felt uncomfortable sleeping as thinking if there are more in the room. There were constant loud noises at night which would wake you up in addition to the noises and voices you can hear in the hallways on daily basis at night hours. In addition, the safety box in the room did not operate and it took the guy few hours to work on it. The good thing on the property is it's walkable distance to many of the restaurants and to the beach.

No way this hotel has an 8 rating. The hot water faucet at sink did not work. The toilet flushed occasionally. The room was too small for the bed size; you had to turn sideways to walk in front of it. Poor shower design left the floor soaking wet after every use. No tissues; small issue, I know, but I can’t recall the last time I stayed at even the cheapest hotel and there were no tissues. I was attending a conference and am thankful that my wife was not with me; she would not have put up with this. First night the fire alarm went off at 4am; someone smoking in their room, I believe. Second night an hour long heated discussion in the lobby; not sure why the front desk couldn’t get them to use their ‘indoor’ voice or step out on the porch to resolve.

Not only did they have it ready for me, but helped me bring it to my room! I’m sure there are fancier places to stay, but I will be coming back here for the hospitality!

The Cavalier is a really lovely boutique hotel located right on Ocean Drive in the heart of everything. For those looking to experience classic South Beach, it's a great choice. The property itself is very nice--entirely modern with most of the customary amenities of a high-end hotel, save a pool (but who needs a pool when the beach and the ocean are literally right across the street). It's really the service that sets the hotel apart, however. We arrived early from a cruise on a very busy Sunday morning but they got us into a room right away. Our room also included a light but very tasty breakfast each morning, which I got the sense was standard, as well as complimentary chairs on the beach. Bottom line: nothing in South Beach is "cheap," exactly, but some things are worth the price, at least relatively speaking. The Cavalier is one of those things.

The front desk staff was helpful and pleasant. The resort fee includes free breakfast options but it is not worth it in my opinion. $35 a day could have gotten me more than 1 piece of bacon, 1pancake and unseasoned eggs/potatoes. It take forever for breakfast servers to even acknowledge you. Location was perfect for other food and entertainment options. Nothing lavish but it gets the job done.

The room was comfortable and clean. There were plenty of bath products available in the room. Unfortunately, the hotel stairwell has a musty smell. Every morning you have a choice of five breakfast options which were all good. However, the public can dine there as well and gets a different menu. I felt like a second class customer when it came to breakfast service.

The hotel is NOT quiet on a weekend. This is an older art deco hotel and you hear everything in the hallways at night. my husband barely slept but I brought ear plugs so I wasn't bothered. Front desk is extremely helpful and personable. Drinks at bar were delicious. Breakfast was impossible as every single table was full so unfortunately we had to walk next door and pay for breakfast instead of eating for free. But all in all, for one night, to be on the oceanfront and get to stay in a cool hotel, I'm not mad about it. Both of us agreed we wouldn't stay there for an extended period though
