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.
