Bad sink water pressure

The water flow in the bathroom sink was barely enough to wash your hands, and took a while to fill up for a cup of water. The manager was very polite and came over the next day to fix it, but it wasn’t better. The shower and toilet pressure were fine, but the sink was not working properly and not worth $160/night!! Very annoying. Bed was comfortable and the TV a nice one.

I stayed here during Monterey Car week so it was crazy expensive BUT it was a great. The room was very generously sized and well equipped. I liked the fact that the windows were large so I could either turn the AC on or enjoy the breeze. The beds were very nice and firm and the room was surprisingly quiet. The staff was extremely welcoming as well. The walkways and the stairs could use some refreshing and the towels were quite skimpy. The two remotes for the TV was very confusing, but Wi-Fi was speedy. Overall, I would stay here again, which says a lot!
