The water pressure for showers was great. The room was clean and quiet. The hill view wasn't great, but we spent more time outside looking at the beautiful views than looking out the hotel window. Pillows were soft and the bed comfortable, but it seemed like the sheets may not have been the right size. The fireplace (uses gas) really did add to the feel of the room. Didn't get a chance to try out the pool, but it looked good and was heated. I enjoyed all the art around the hotel that was from Hearst Castle. The breakfast in the morning was basic, but good. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, but Cambria is also a short drive for more options. Hearst Castle is also close by, which was our main goal for the trip. We got a chance to see the zebras in the field close to the hotel, so that was a lot of fun. There is beach access just a short walk from the hotel, which was nice. The staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. Overall, you could tell it was an older hotel, but I would recommend.

Great breakfast buffet. Mattresses need a major upgrade, my back was killing me. The heaters are antique and maybe next time a nice blanket on the bed would serve me better.

Horrible

The Morgan Hotel is old, tired and dirty. The breakfast was terrible, coffee was brown water, and we ended up having to get dressed and drive to Cambria for coffee and pastries both mornings of our stay. We had noisy next door neighbors who partied in their room until 1:00 AM. Our double queen room had broken springs on one of the beds. The carpet and upholstered sofa and chair were dirty and the bathroom was disgusting.
Chipping and peeling paint. Old and dirty hardware. Overall horrible maintenance.
Drip marks from who knows what on the bathroom door and walls
Multiple breaks and cracks in the bathroom mirror frame.

Great Place. Clean & Food Nearby!

The hotel was nice, and the room was decent, too. It was pretty kept up and clean. It was nice to walk next door for food and drinks. The only harder part was having to walk in the main building to get to your room, and it was noisy. That could just have been the people around us being overall loud, too. I'd stay here again for sure!

The front staff person upon check in was very polite, professional, and helpful. The hotel is nicely set up. The lobby and breakfast area is cozy and welcoming. Location is very convenient to Hearst Castle. We got in late so we didn’t walk around but there are restaurants within walking distance. It was a small disappointment that the fireplace in our room didn’t work. We did not bring this to the attention of staff upon checking in because we were just too tired. The room was otherwise clean and the beds were super comfy.

Morgan Hotel stay

Started with the check-in clerk not knowing how to make change from a cash payment. The room visually looked nice. After we brought our things in we sat on the chair and sofa, they didn't smell good. Possibly old body odor or old furniture. Carpet needed a cleaning. Bathroom set-up was odd. Continental breakfast didn't offer any diabetic friendly foods such as cheese, boiled eggs or cottage cheese. Foods offered were mostly sugary food items. On the positive it was quiet and the heater worked good.
