Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa
Overall disappointing ; I did not enjoy my stay at this hotel. -Terrible Wi-Fi and terrible internet connection that continuously dropped off. - Shower had so much water pressure but w/ only half of a glass shower door like in Europe, water sprayed alot outside the shower creating a mess to clean ...
