I didn’t get the room I initially booked. The power was out in the entire building for two days. I received no room service. I did early check in via email didn’t check into my room until after 4 pm. No pool access due to construction. It was just an all around very bad experience! I would never visit Puerto Rico again

The area was nice and close to everything. But the hotel is nothing like what it stayed on the website or Google definitely not a 3.8 star hotel. There's no pool, they tell you that its getting remodel which its false. The rooms are not upgraded like in the pictures they're old, and no communication from the staff.

The property has an excellent location. The parking setup is perfect and very needed in this area. What is preventing me from eating it 5 stars is that the apartment did not have a WiFi router the week that I was there. I did talk to the front desk about the WiFi connection in the room and they said they would check. I finally found the place we're the router was supposed to be (inside the closet, high on the front wall of the closet) and there was NO router. I would make sure that you ask about the router if you are planning to rent this property. Other than that, I would recommend it

People were friendly and helpful. Lobby and lobby bathrooms were kept spotless and always smelled freshly cleaned. Looks like there are renovations in progress. We had a room on the seventh floor. Room was essentially clean but in need of refurbishing. Only real complaint is that the linens on one of our beds had not been changed before we arrived (not a bed we used).

We were not provided with maid service for our entire stay. We needed to go find and ask for clean towels and toiletries, and needed to repeatedly ask for beach towels. We requested a beach view room but instead was given a 2nd floor room overlooking the dilapidated pool/pool area. When we requested a room change we were told no.

Although I had an amazing time in PR with my family. The hotel room was not so great. Our room had an odor and the carpet was not clean. The hotel’s pool was broken although we did enjoy the beach. Overall, the room was a huge disappointment. Because this trip was a family trip and this location was recommended, I will never book here again. There is a difference from the ESJ Towers & ESJ Hotels. Pay attention to the reviews friends!!

I used to stay at the ESJ when I was younger as my grandparents had a time share and have many fond memories. Unfortunately, the property is very run down. The rooms are musty, the pool was closed and the bed had bedbugs. I woke up with many bites all over my back, each night with more bites. I would not recommend people stay at this hotel.

The room was extremely dirty! Extremely may be an understatement, to the point we had to buy lining because the once they had were full of dust and grouse. On the other side parking is very inconvenient due to very hard humidity and dirty smells, also you have to park in visitors where there isn't elevator access unless you walk a lot. Only reason I give 2 star is because the staff are very nice!
