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.

The room was nice, clean and comfortable. I also loved how close my room was to the front desk. We enjoyed breakfast, and enjoyed the options. There was also a ton of sitting space to eat, so we appreciated that as well. The bathroom was nice, and the beds were comfortable. I liked that there was a fan provided since I need noise to sleep, and having some circulation was helpful. The staff wasn’t super friendly, but maybe they were having a bad day.

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.
