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.

Room was good, basic necessities were sufficient. Only issue was noise. The room had an amazing view but is close to the parking lot. Some people were partying until 330am and my wife and I did not fall asleep until 4am. Very disappointing.
