Well, we have been here a few times but this time we experienced a power outage that when asked no one had a good answer for as to when the power would return. Took about 2 hours. I requested a king size ved and were given a room with double full size beds. My husband is 6'4" so that was uncomfortable. When i asked regarding a change we were told they could try to get us another room but we only went for 3 days so we figured we would just accept whatever. Phone in room didnt work either. Building is in such a great location but it does need updating.

Although they’re currently under renovation, you can tell that the building has been in a state of neglect for many years. The walls were cracked on the outside of the building. Being on the 14th floor, my wife and I were concerned about leaning on the rails as the walls that anchor the rails were cracked and the steel was exposed on the porch above us. The concrete is falling apart. So the building needs extensive repairs especially when the buildings are that close to the ocean, the salt eventually corrodes everything so the building has to be better maintained. For safety reasons we will not be staying there again.

I paid for a ocean view, but got a Partial ocean view. it wouldn't matter to me, if there wasn't a difference in price. But I paid for the ocean view, and wasnt refunded the difference. No pool, and No lobby bar. I complained to hotel, they said they were sold out and couldn't switch. I complained to expedia, and they haven't gotten back to me.

Overall I had a decent experience at ESJ Beach Hotel. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful whenever I needed assistance. I arrived in Puerto Rico around 2am and the hotel was still very accommodating to me and got my room together promptly. With that being said there are quite a few things that need to addressed... The hotel is attached to an apartment building that shares one lobby. The signs are not very clear as to which side is which and where to check-in. I asked for a beach view and received a few of the demolished pool area that they claim it says online is not available and have been rebuilding for a year. The paint on the walls are peeling, the faucets in the bathroom are rusted. The towels did not look fresh and white. My party was unaware that we had to request beach towels and that they would bring them to the room the night before we went to the beach so we had no beach towels the entire stay. There was construction being done on the lounge in the main lobby so we had to go offsite to just sit and have a drink. There was a small cafe in the lobby but very limited to what they had and didn’t t serve alcohol. There are stains on the carpet, some of the light fixtures in my room did not work. There were maybe a total of 3 outlets in the entire room. Again overall it was a decent experience. The hotel was very affordable and it is next to a lot of quick places you can go eat or get supplies that you need. Vanessa our housekeep was absolutely WONDERFUL

The property is not worth the suggested price. The pool was closed. The bar was closed. Towels were limited and dingy. No one cleaned the room or made the bed. The entire property was under construction. The workers had very few words for guest when entering and exiting the building. Definitely not worth the money.

The hotel gave us a room the does not lock, safe does not work, they do not give fresh towels, toilettries or coffee cops. The pool was under construction. The gym was in the garafe area. Parking deck has low ceilings and really hot. Only good thing is the location in beach front.

A lot of upgrades are required. The balcony door does not lock. There was low lighting. The doors do not close all the way without applying force. The toilet hand some sediments in it that did not flush away. The towels were hard. The front desk persons weelre pleasant though. The location is convenient.

There is a lot of noise every day from 8 am to 5 pm because they are working on the pool. No restaurant in the place or other thing more than a little caffe that closes at 3 pm with very few choices. I founded very safe, well located and the people in the front desk were very helpful . Me gusto en general porque yo no voy al caribe buscando lujos pero si esperan lujo y cosa linda de verdad vayan al fairmount que está al lado ! I would definitely come back to the ESJ !

The property is under construction, great, but the room we had was full of mold, air conditioner worked then stopped, and the air smelled like mold. The entire room had mold stains from the entrance of the door to the balcony. The restroom was clean, the bedroom was decent. We parked the car in the garage, after a day, it was pretty much infested with roaches! Found about 6 crawling around inside and out, I guess that’s the climate to blame, never the less, it was pretty dirty. I wouldn’t stay here again. The building is very old and you can see mold and mildew from under all balconies standing in the outside. Pay for better place, I wish I did.
