Cavallo Point Lodge

Had a great stay at Cavallo Point. Their rooms are so cozy and the amenities are wonderful. My favorite part was morning yoga with Ingrid. She was such a great teacher and super sweet and supportive during the practice. I’ve stayed here 3 times and this is my first time taking their yoga classes. My only regret is not taking them sooner.

Cavallo Point Beautiful location and the restaurants were quite good. But… We stayed at a 2nd floor historic king. $379 per night at a discount. Looks a lot different in person than the photos. It seems to be a converted officer’s quarters, but in our opinion it was poorly decorated and depressing. The unit smelled musty, like granny’s attic. Walls were painted dark navy blue, a very stark and depressing vibe. Drapery was brown and ugly, an afterthought. The furniture was a hodgepodge of bizarre styles, nothing matched. Consistent antique style furniture would have given it better B&B vibe Would have done better to bump out the wall in the bathroom to accommodate the sink and make it a more conventional bathroom. The carpets are old and don’t match any thing. Would have been better to trash all the carpets and have solid flooring everywhere. They could have done so much better to take advantage of the charm of the old place, but their decor style was a huge miss. And the musty smell was overwhelming. We visited a more modern unit and they did much better - drab but no smell. We were part of a group booking and were able to visit other historic units to compare. They all had the same issues and all smelled. One couple changed rooms three times to get away from the smell but to no avail. In our case, housekeeping did some type of treatment I think to the carpets and the smell went away for about a day but was back the next day. Apparently this is a problem the front desk was previously aware of. There were some housekeeping issues as well. A floor mat was dirty and there were stains on the bathroom floor which housekeeping came and cleaned. On the upside, they did provide us with distilled water when requested. We feel, that except for its location and fabulous views at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, the actual accommodations leave a lot to be desired and may not be worth the price. If you decide to stay, pick the cheaper more modern units. They could have done so much better with the historic units but they are a huge miss and not worth the money.

Great unique hotel with an amazing view, service and restaurant. If you are looking for something different with a great view of the city, pick this property.

Our stay was nothing short of extraordinary. Chose this hotel to celebrate dad’s surprise 80th birthday and every single person we encountered made it a weekend we’ll treasure forever. A very special thank you to Lisette, who went above and beyond in helping me plan the surprise celebration. She worked closely with Chef, Joseph and Michael to create a personalized menu for our party of 15 at Sula Restaurant. Everything was beautifully executed, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Fallon, was exceptional, warm, attentive, and always making sure we had everything we needed. One of the most thoughtful touches was Lisette sending me photos of the property with each surprise guest’s hiding spot labeled, so everyone was perfectly positioned as Dad and I arrived. The surprise couldn’t have gone more perfectly, and I’m forever grateful for her kindness and attention to every detail. Our Golden Gate Contemporary Room was stunning. The view of the bridge from our room and private patio was breathtaking. The cozy alcove nook became our favorite place to sit, whether admiring the bridge during the day or watching it sparkle at night. The room was spacious, peaceful, and beautifully appointed. We were also touched by the personalized welcome note and the delicious treats waiting for us: chocolates, caramel popcorn, nuts, water, and other thoughtful snacks that made us feel welcome. The next morning, we borrowed the hotel’s electric bikes and rode through the Presidio, across the Golden Gate Bridge, and back. Yes, my dad did that at 80 years old! It became one of the highlights of our entire celebration, and he loved every minute of it. Breakfast at Sula the following morning was equally wonderful. I had the delicious huevos rancheros while Dad enjoyed the French toast. It was such a nice surprise when Lisette stopped by to say hello and check in on us. We also loved visiting the Mercantile, where Leigh and Lori were so friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed a peaceful yoga class with Amy in the property’s beautiful chapel, and having access to the spa, jacuzzi, pool, and other amenities made for the perfect relaxing afternoon. Finally, I have to recognize the valet team. They were incredibly kind, giving us rides to our room, helping us get set up with our bikes, and always greeting us with a smile whenever we needed our car. This wasn’t simply a hotel stay, it became part of one of the most meaningful weekends of our lives. Thank you to everyone who helped make my dad’s 80th birthday so incredibly special. We can’t wait to return.

We went for our 40th wedding anniversary and brought our golden retriever. She was welcomed and was able to go to lobby, eat outside with us and play on the field in front. We loved the goodie bag for our girl. One thing I want to recommend is larger mugs for the in room coffee. We didn't like the tiny cups. And maybe allow dogs on the shuttel. Other than that everything was very nice.
