The check in procedure was slow, only one of three elevators were working, the pool was temporarily closed, no hair dryer in room. It took a lot of leg work to get one. We have stayed at ESJ many times. New management needs lots of improvement to make this as successful as previous owners.

The updated double queen room that I had was beautiful. Loved the amenities, huge TV, AC/heat split unit modern kitchen and appliances and double sink that came in handy. Wife loved that the washer/dryer unit added the convenience of laundering our clothes without having to leave the room. Beds super comfy, area around hotel was walkable and had great food offerings. Beach access is great. We had a slight issue with lack of hot water, but a quick chat with maintenance and it was fixed in minutes (circuit breaker tripped). That was it.. Our stay was too short as we were so comfortable with everything that it just felt like home. The staff was genuinely happy to be there and supportive. Created a very welcoming atmosphere and we will return to the ESJ Beach Hotel.

Limited staff. The moment i started walking through the hallway on the 8th floor to the room, the floors were dirty and noticed storage doors by elevator was off the hinges. The moment i walked into the room, we immediately noticed mold in the bathroom, stains on the walls and stains on the bed sheets. Paint on wall was peeling off also.
Hallway towards entrance to room door.
Loose door lock. Had to slam door to close.
Stains on wall.
