Hotel Morgan (Morgantown, WV) - "All They Got Inside Is Vacancy"

The Hotel Morgan is no more. Not in this form anyway. The huge, historic hotel has closed to undergo what is described as a “refurbishing.” A large sale was held, emptying out the halls and rooms. I couldn’t help but go inside and walk through those empty hallways and take one last peek at the 1980’s decor and cherry wood dressers. There are also rumors. Rumors of ghosts. I’m not sure if I felt an actual ghostly presence, or just the sadness of a once-thriving building. I feel the same thing at most abandoned hotels. We can only wait and see what happens to the building. Hopefully it will be updated and become a boutique hotel that attracts hip travelers.
