On the property
“However, we had paid extra for a room with an ocean view and the windows were so cloudy and dirty to the point where the view was ruined.”

From the reviews
The beds were comfortable, the wifi was fast, the bathroom was decent and rooms were clean, though old and a little stuffy. We did not mind the lack of AC, as the room never got too warm.
Getting married at The Morgan San Simeon - Cambria by Hearst Castle
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
