The pictures are very deceiving ! The hotel is very out dated, including the rooms and lobby. Our refrigerator in the room was so loud we couldn’t sleep. I picked a “seaside” suite which was just a basic room with a distant view of the ocean over the condos and houses that were blocking the view. No beach access unless you walked over two blocks. Huge disappointment !

Expedia search filter, “Ocean View”, has an entirely opposite meaning, like rating The Morgan 3.5 Stars, by who? I’ll highlight just a few of the not pictured features and amenities. The lobby was ok, the pool… “stains not pictured”. The free parking offered four covered spots, one blocked by a crate, another had two 8” holes exiting the building, dryer vents without covers, N/C for hot dust. Uncovered parking was flanked by a barrier of old cones, rope, and repurposed caution tape to keep guests from wandering into the overgrowth blocking the“Ocean View”. We stayed in building #2 of 2. Entry required a room key for security. To escape… sorry, exit, required decoding the “push a button with your room key”… for aggravation. The foyer featured an amazing…sorry, scary shattered glass skylight, and a single shared microwave, nice. The gallery photo must have used a dingy filter. Fortunately, we upgraded to a Junior Suite, $500 for two nights. The suite featured carpet so dirty and stained only our shoes ever came in contact. The two chairs followed the carpet theme of “Sitting on the bed is a smarter choice”. “Ocean View”, sure, with perfect vision, through overgrowth, buildings, a 1/2 mile away… a lovely glimpse through the top of a dirty window. A red-flag in the deceptive photo gallery, a closeup of shower tile, not a shower, tile. Why not include the upgraded fixture with multiple massaging sprayers? … Glad you asked, keeping with theme only the shower-head was connected.

The room and staff was great! The heated pool was heavenly. Also, they had a good continental breakfast selection. My only complaint is that there are no elevators. As seniors, it was a bit challenging for bringing up the luggage.

2 night stay on our west coast trip.

Room was very comfortable. Huge bed which overlooked the outdoor pool. Room has all amenities; huge TV, draws, big wardrobe, bed side tables (with lamps access charger points), fire place & table with chairs. Bathroom was of good use with good selection of shower gels, shampoo & conditioner. Would recommend looking at the shower curtain as this did let out some water making floor slippery. Overall, the stay was great, we initially only booked for 1 day but added a 2nd game for convenience of our trip. Breakfast had a great selection in the mornings (waffle maker, cereal, coffee, muffins etc). This is a great & comfortable hotel to stay in for a short trip. It’s within a 2 minute walk of the ocean/beach.

I liked the surrounding areas being close to seveal beaches and park. Location is conveniently located. I didn't like the fact that there was no elevator which made it difficult to carry our luggage up and down. The room smelled musty when we came in and the waste baskets were too small and got easily over filled. The refrigerator was hard to access being under the sink. It should have been placed in the main area where the bed and console where. It was beside the bathroom and hard to access. It also really did not get cold enough. There should have been an ice maker in the 2nd floor. On the positive side, staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming.
