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.

Less than Exceptable
The room was less than satisfactory. The whole building smelled of old smoke. We had an “Ocean View”, but there wasn’t much to see through the dirty windows. There were 2 over sized chairs which would have been very inviting however they looked like a 20lbs cat was searching for catnip in the arms. The Jacuzzi bathtub looked like it had not been cleaned since it was installed 20+ years ago.

Cozy hotel with small parking spaces
The staff is great , super nice and friendly at the front desk. Hotel is cute but outdated. There was no ac in the room, but we went in December so it wasn’t so bad. We kept the windows open to get some fresh air inside the room. The parking garage is super small especially if you’re driving a truck. Very limited spaces and very tight spaces. The room was nice and clean with plenty of towels but the bed was hard and pillows were uncomfortable. The continental breakfast was good. Overall, our room was very clean and we enjoyed all the Christmas decor in the lobby and in the hallways.

Location, staff, and simplicity.
Great location down the road from Hearst Castle and Friends of the Elephant Seal viewpoint. About 2 hours north of Solvang. Hotel is a little on the older side but it has quaint and comfortable characteristics. Staff was extremely helpful and kind throughout our stay. Parking is near the rooms so not too far to carry luggage. Steps away from the beach lookouts. Limited options on food/restaurants. Room fridge was a little noisy and the bed/pillows could be updated. Overall, great stay for those looking for something simple. Free continental breakfast a huge plus!

I love the premise of the hotel - it's affiliation with Julia Morgan, the architect for Hearst Castle. The entire hotel has her architectural renderings artfully framed and displayed. The location in San Simeon is perfect for visits to the elephant seals, Friends of the Elephant Seal Visitor Center, and for viewing and walking along the ocean. The room I had with a couch and fireplace was just so serene. It had all the amenities I needed, and provided a lovely respite upon return from my daily activities.

First room was quiet but not the second room
Terrible street signage in San Simeon blew past where The Morgan is and was 15-20 miles North. No one answered the phone so I figured I would have to stay at Motel 6. Lady answered after her lunch and I got to stay in a terrific suite with incomparable view of ocean when NOT FOGGY! and a gas fireplace. The bed was not comfortable nor the chair.
