Our room smelled terrible… like mold or mildew… the ceiling had water stains that were grey. The smell would not go away, we understood the recent rain but i feel that people should not be staying in these rooms with these rancid smells. The couch was beyond disgusting… it was a brown couch that’s turned blackish from being so old and over used… the carpet flooring is sooo worn out and flat that you can feel every bump underneath the carpet…the carpet was so dirty and turning blackish as well. The only reason i’m applying 2 stars is because the staff was kind and friendly, as well as the breakfast being decent. Definitely wish we stayed at the Cavalier next door.

What stood out was Julian at the front desk. He is very personable and I enjoy speaking to him. I have a favorite room that I really enjoy there and I just love coming back when I’m on one of my wonderful road trips. The room is lovely. The room is clean. The tub is a party. It’s absolutely lovely. Takes a while to fill it up, but it sure is nice. Parking is also very easy. The room is very clean. I mean everything is just nice. It’s like not being in a hotel, which is the nicest thing about it.

I enjoyed my stay ay The Morgan Hotel in San Simeon, ca. I left my window open all night, snd I could hear the waves crashing. I had a ocean view room on the second floor. The view was nice and relaxing. There was a bluff oceanside trail nearby that was very relaxing to walk my dog. I enjoed the complimentary breakfast. There was fruit, muffins, coffee and 3 different flavored creamers. I loved the waffles that you make with the waffle maker. I was full after breakfast. The front desk was friendly when checking in and checking out. I stayed in the main building. I would stay at The Morgan again.

Stayed 2 nights with family. We booked the standard 2 queen beds. The bedroom and bathroom are clean. The toilet is small and quite low, felt a little weird when I first sat on it. No window blinds, just clothed curtains with visible stains. Breakfast is okay, there’re 2 waffles makers and the waiting line can be long during weekend. The pool is much smaller than in picture. Overall, it’s okay, not our cup of tea.
