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.

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 ! Beautiful view and very convenient !

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.

I didn’t like that the location was under construction so it was a bit noisy. Over all thought, this place was really good and the staff was super friendly. They also kept the lobby super clean.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this hotel. The room was dirty, with stained sheets and a foul smell that lingered throughout. The bathroom was unsanitary, with mold in the shower and broken fixtures. The staff were somewhat helpful. This hotel is poorly maintained and overpriced for the quality offered. I would not recommend staying here to anyone. We had to move to a whole new hotel and couldn’t stay even one night.
