I stayed on the third floor and the smell of mildew was unbearable in the entire floor. The room was kept cold, so it disguised the smell a bit. I almost go to another hotel. Decided to ride it out since I was there for just two nights. I won’t be returning.

Problem, housekeeping only every 3 days and that was totally un-American even after a request by me I was denied on day two with two adults and two kids, wow! No one would answer 0 but once out of 4 times of need. Lack of staff to maintain the most important services. Cleanliness is a must for Americans for sure. I liked the people who worked there but the clear lack of staft

Beds are tiny. They also did not tell us when booking that there wouldn’t be a pool. The staff is rude. We had to wait 2 hours to get our room. Issues with room key. Overall terrible. Beach was too packed as well.

The worst “hotel” I’ve ever seen… my wife and me weren’t even able to stay there more than 5 minutes. We cancelled the reservation right after we went to check the room and preferred start looking for another place at midnight. Dirty, old, abandoned, disgusting, noisy. Free advice : DO NOT RESERVE THIS PROPERTY, DONT DO IT !!

They had no towels the bathtub was dirty we had to change our room. We could never get in touch with the manager I rate this hotel a zero.

I reserved a king bed in advance, the property had nice pictures of the rooms so it looked like a good idea. I arrived and went to check in the front desk didn’t advise me that I was getting a 2 “queen” more like twin size beds in what looked like an outdated unclean old hotel. Website didn’t mention the pool was out of service until further notice. The website says no pets unless it’s a service animal but that’s not the case you can pay to bring pets there was a dog barking 2 rooms down for hours at a time. The arcade is not open for the hours it states it will be.

I am glad that i did not let the negative reviews stop me from choosing ESJ. We were pleased with our choice. The beach is directly outside the lobby, rooms are clean. There is construction going on, but it did not bother our stay.

I'll admit that, the location is good but the property itself is the worse decision ever. I was told by phone before I get my reservation that the hotel had a pool but at our arrival the nightmare started, NO POOL, THE PARKING LOT IS 4 FLOORS DOWN IN THE GROUND "Looks super creepy", The room stinks to bug killer, dirty carpets, mold in the bathroom. We asked for a second room and nothing changed! The lady in the front desk was pretty "I don't care anything here, apparently her phone was more important! I rather to expend a little bit more to be in a nice and clean place. From 5 days in puerto rico I have to say this hotel was my only bad experience!

It has a nice entrance and lobby. It also has a nice cute cafeteria. However I saw little bugs in the room, kitchen and bathroom. The toilet was rusted at the bottom and looked grossed. I had to wait a day and a half after complaining twice that there was no hand soap, shampoo and dishwashing soap. On my last day they refused to keep my luggage in their storage room for reason unknown. This was after I did the checkout at 11 AM and needed to go eat something as my flight was not until 3 PM.
