Morgan Run Club and Resort - A Golf and Spa Resort - Rancho Santa Fe 32.99123, -117.20926

I have stayed at this location several times over the last few years and have always been pleased with the service and quality of the accommodations. It is a well-run facility, courteous and very quiet. Rooms are good size with good beds and nice touches like thick, personal bathrobes. Dining and other services are somewhat pricey, but this is a golf resort and this is to be expected. I will certainly stay there again when I am in the area.

Outstanding Hotel

We were looking for a nice place to sleep at for one night and we wanted it to be clean and comfortable. However, when we got to our room it was every travelers nightmare, the sheets where old and dingy with a faint smell of smoke, the bed spread was so dirty and smelly we decided to kick it off the bed (thankfully I travel with a sleeping bag), the pillows I can only imagine are heavy with the accumulation of mites, the carpets where disgusting and old, the furniture and bed are also very old and the bath tub was stained with rust. Furthermore, and here is where it gets even better, throughout the night there was a loud noise coming from within the walls, it sounded like someone was badly playing a Cello. I know what you are going to say, "why didn't I complain"? We were simply so exhausted to do so, and it was very late in the night when we checked in. Please read all the bad comments first, the good ones, looking back sound so doctored I almost feel like it was my own fault for being naive.

The room was large and clean, large bathroom, gorgeous pool area. Beautiful onsite ammenities, or within 5 minutes of several good, local restaurants. Easy access to highways & beaches.

Two suggestion that I would make is to offer guests complimentary coffee in the morning and do not charge extra for using Fitness center. It should be included with the room charge.

Great room, outstanding amenities and great service. Only downside was no elevator to 2nd floor.

The front desk stsff was great. They even got our boarding passes printed. My wife enjoyed the facisl.

The hotel gives you the feeling of being at a quiet resort, surrounded by greenery. The rooms need to be modernized at some point, but for the price, it is excellent. It is away from the traffic and congestion that fills so much of the surrounding area.

This hotel is a gem located in a convenient and upscale area. The restaurant is great!! Very pleasant with great amenities and quiet!! Room could use a bit of an update.

We were VERY pleased with the hotel and room. It is a great value for the money. There may be spots of flaking paint and on occasion, a whiff of musty smell but I think that is due to the warm climate and proximity to the beach. The room was very clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The pool and spa are brand new. We really enjoyed the steam room. It is really close to everything - Solana Beach and minutes to the freeway so you can drive the short distance to La Jolla and San Diego. This residential neighborhood is very nice. There are great strip malls nearby if you need anything.

Room just average, though shower pressure was superb. Rest of resort was top notch. Fitness room was best I have been in. Customer service was exemplary.

Nice fitness facility,however they should not charge extra to utilize it. Should be included in rate or charged if you would like to access it.

We stayed for one night and found our room to be very nice, clean, and spacious. While you can tell that this isn't the newest resort, you can also tell that the staff here most definitely takes pride in keeping everything well maintained. We also found the food and service to be great. The brunch was great- not just some muffins and cold cereal- and everyone there was on the ball. I would definitely recommend staying there and would return myself.

The Hotel has a wonderful spa and health club facilities, however the rooms are below average. The rooms are of a 2 star level, however the restaurant and spa are of a 4 star level at least.

I found this hotel to be very reasonably priced. Room was clean and comfortable. The only thing that would have been nice is a small fridge in the room. I go into that area for business quite often and I will be staying there again.

Not as good as any Holiday Inn and yet they charge more and call it a sale. The rooms were shabby with a Motel 6 like comforter and a dinky tub. I don't know what room was 4 stars but I saw nothing to indicate anything more than 2 stars.

Due to unforseen circumstances, we booked this hotel only a short time before our trip. We were surprised to find a room at the low rate we were quoted, and read many of the reviews to see if we could determine why the rate was so low. We decided to take a chance, knowing we could always leave if need be. However, we were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival. We were greeted by Mickealla (sp?) at the front desk and we asked to see the room before we checked in. She gave us keys to our room, and also to a room she was suggesting as an minimal price upgrade. After seeing both rooms, we opted for the upgrade, as it was a full suite, complete with two full baths, living room, fireplace, two TV's, wet bar w/fridge, two closets, king size bed with upgraded linens and comforter, etc. All this for a price lower than anything else we had found in the area for a single room at a lesser location and with fewer amenities. We were very happy with our stay and would stay there again.

The resort is 40 years old. Rooms need major updating. Old furniture. Paint coming off walls. Shower head had rust running down the tub. Bed as hard as a rock. Room smelled old and musty. I would never recommend this to anyone. I think the only reason they are still in business is it is close to the horsetrack and maybe thats who stays there.

Nice quite, clean room. Relaxing pool, good staff at a great rate. Would return and bring friends.

Great facilities. Friendly staff. Quiet. I nice experience and I will go back

I was very impressed with the facility and the customer service. The lady at front desk was very helpful and accommodating. I had called earlier and could not connect to the internet. When I ran into her a few hours later in the lobby, she somehow remembered me and asked if I needed the engineer to go to my room and help me with the internet. Then I got take-out from their restaurant and the service there was also wonderful. The room was spacious, clean and simple. I noticed a few things such as a ripped lamp shade and the chairs were a bit old. But aside form that, the room was really good for the price. I enjoyed being in such a nice community with the golf course, the gym, etc. Great surrounding neighborhood if you care to take an evening walk. And the coffee shop in the lobby was also great!

After reading the reviews on this property-we were expecting the worst!! The primary purpose of our visit was to attend the horse races at Del Mar. This hotel location was great - about 15 minutes away. When we arrived, we were offered an upgraded room for an incremental fee. The upgraded room had nicer amenities and a view of the golf course. We were glad we took the offer. As noted in other reviews, the furniture was not the most up to date, but it was fine, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. If you are expecting a big name chain hotel experience - you might want to look elsewhere. The "Business Center" was a desk in the lobby with a computer and printer. Internet access from the room is included in the price of the stay. If you are looking for a quiet country club ambiance- then this is the place. We really enjoyed the laid back country club experience. Everyone was gracious and friendly. We especially enjoyed the company of our servers in the bar and restaurant. By the way - we enjoyed some of the most fantastic meal deals we have found in some time. One night - a great prime rib dinner special was offered for $19.95. Another night - we dined at the restaurant on the "Ten for Ten" menu. A special menu was available with entrees of $10 each (you could double up for $5 more). A salad(enough for 4 people) was $5. A wide selection of bottles of wine were available for half price. A table was reserved in our name and we were addressed by name. We felt like members of the club!! (if you do this - make sure you get a reservation - the place was packed). Next time we will plan some time for the spa and golf. The value for the price was outstanding and we would not hesitate to stay here again!

Nice area, room was clean and comforteable. AC was a little noisy. Close to Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The hotel and the entire property are quite nice, the golf course is excellent. There is a problem with fewer staff members at the resort than one would expect. Many times no one is at the front desk to answer the phone. All in all, we were comfortable there.

Our room was in serious need of an upgrade. I have a feeling that the front desk staff gave our room away to someone with the same last name 20 minutes before our arrival. The hotel was booked, so we got the "lemon" room. Was old and smelled musty. Fortunately, we were just in the room to sleep. The pool, spa and golf course is first rate.

Fantastic location, great room. Perfect.

I loved being surrounded by the quiet greens at this hotel, it made my business stay very relaxing. The room was a bit old and dingy though. Not dirty, just old.

Hotel was okay. Expected nicer amenities for a "resort" hotel. A/C in-room unit very noisy.

If you want a great place close by the Del Mar where you can play golf this is it. It is a semi-retirment village built around this course. However, there is plenty of stuff just down the road by the ocean. Have fun and watch out some of thoes retired foks can swing a club, so don't bet off the first hole.

Beautiful place. Wonderful staff. Great price. Only negative, noisey bathroom fan & shower head Needed replacing. Recommend highly.

Great hotel. Great room! Fairly noisy A/C unit but luckily each room comes complete with ceiling fan which was perfect! Location is the quietest I have ever experienced in a hotel. Room views across the golf course and private balconies or patios are superb! Downside--no breakfast served on-site during the weekdays.

Got a great price for this room at a nice golf/tennis resort. Didn't expect the place to be so nice, but it is. Didn't have chance to take advantage of these, but nice tennis courts, big pool with lap lanes, kids area, huge fitness center, a dance room, outside restaurant, golf course, nice grounds. Not far from other good restaurants and the highway.

My room was enormous. The bed was extremely comfortable and the staff was very accomodating. Was disappointed that the pool only went to the 4' mark and that the room service menu was sparse, otherwise, the grounds and the ammenities were top notch!

Needs a little work on the rooms, but nice location.

Nice lobby and hallway. Bad room, bed and pillows. We paid a 2 star price and this should be a two star hotel. Nice location. Rooms need updating and new carpet.

We very much enjoyed our stay except for the VERY LOUD guests above us at 3am our second night. The location to the horsepark and beach was very convinient! The tennis courts were great.

I would highly recommned this Resort. The rooms are large, clean and beds very comfortable. Bathrooms are very nice and extremly clean. Staff couldn't have been nicer. Very family oriented. I loved my stay there and will plan another stay ASAP. Outstanding.

The location was great for my trip. hOwever the room did not meet my standard. However, the we had dinner at the restraunt and it was great. The atmosphere and food was exteremly satisfying.

the hotel location and directions were perfect for our needs. Grounds, room and restaurant were clean and beautiful to enjoy, weather golfing or just relaxing.

Customer service was none existent. The internet didn't work half the time. The room smelled musty and was in desperate need of an update. This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had.

HOrrible, I woudl never stay there again. The beds were uncomfortable and the pillows ahrd like a rock. Checked out a day earlya nd they did not even ask why. They did not offer to refund my money and CHARGED me fro 2 days of spa charges, when we did not use the facility. Also no room service and carpets were old, worn, and filthy.
