"Because we used to love her. But it's all over now. The Morgan was our go-to several times a year, and always on New Year's eve. Although "shabby chic", the four Junior Suites boasted the best bathtubs, deep soak, and fireplaces.
The prices were fair and the location was only a few minutes from Cambria, Hearst Castle and Ragged Point.
A couple of weeks ago, we were unable to get one of our suites, even well in advance. So for almost twice the price, were given a small, somewhat grimy room with a large ceiling portion cut out from water damage. A spider actually bit my husband.
Late, after we had fallen asleep the first night, there was a huge commotion of people trampling and yelling, stomping, slamming... It seems a tour bus of foreign tourists had arrived. The next morning they proceeded to act like Locust and grab up every crumb and drop of the continental breakfast that is provided daily. The breakfast is usually quite decent. This time, an ignorant woman almost knocked my husband into the next hotel by slamming open a door right into him, completely oblivious.
Upon returning home, I checked out their calendar to find that all of their prices have gone up at least double and almost none of the rooms were available. Ever. I can only surmise this is become a tour bus stop. I also heard that the hotel has been sold. We will find another place to love and meanwhile hope that they paint the Morgan a decent color. The current color is an eyesore."
