The breakfast was amazing!

The rooms were cozy and inviting, and the location was very convenient for visiting Hearst Castle and exploring the surrounding coastline. It was a pleasant, comfortable stay and a great option for the area.

I loved everything about this hotel.

Simple but comfortable
Pros:

The staff was absolutely wonderful. They were very welcoming and extremely helpful. Also, the location was great. The breakfast was better than expected for a continental breakfast.

Cons:

No elevators made bringing up luggage for a three day stay with a bum knee more difficult. Also, the sea view room left a lot to be desired; I'm not sure if it was the parking lot or all of the houses that took away from the view, but it wasn't as nice as expected.

Excellent as always.
Pros:

We love the Morgan it always meet expectations. We love the coffee in the evening and are satisfied with the morning breakfast. Eggs, Bagels we do kind of miss the breakfast sandwiches.

Cons:

I was surprised the breakfast was the continental breakfast but was sold as a great breakfast. My pet was attacked but fortunately not hurt by another dog on the last day.

My niece and I really enjoyed our relaxing few days at The Morgan and would stay here again.
Pros:

Check in was easy and fast and the gentleman at reception was informative. The breakfast was good and was more than I expected with many choices. Our room was large and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was clean and attractive. We really enjoyed the coziness of the fireplace. We enjoyed the pool area though it is a bit on the small side. It hotel is a bit dated, but it was nice to come back to after our days' adventures.
