The property had many amenities that were accommodating such as the book room, the arcade and game room and the regions where you can lounge and relax indoors and outside of the facility. The beach was the perfect addition to the landscape of the hotel, since it accommodated me with a tranquil atmosphere, refreshing and organic coconut water from the native people, and lovely and friendly staff that were welcoming and supportive. ESJ was in the center of all the surrounding attractions that enabled me to view cultural crafts, resources for my vacation, and delicious cuisine that I was able to enjoy from the heritage itself.

The room was good. It did not have a view, and the pool was not in service. We didn't find out until check-in that the pool had not worked for 5 years, what a bummer. Especially since it was my husband's 60th birthday getaway. I even asked to get upgraded or a complimentary bottle or something but was ignored. I would love a refund. We could not find other availability as everywhere was sold out. I'm hoping Expedia can do something. Expedia has been my go-to for vacation packages since 2017.

You get what you pay for, not much to expect from a 3 star hotel. The room we got had a nice view which was the only plus; the room itself was okay. They claimed they just renovated the room but I highly doubt it. The carpet looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in years and the beds were so sunken in you can tell those haven’t been flipped over or replaced in years as well. You don’t get maid service or fresh towels unless you go down to the front desk to request it; which we had to do every single day of our stay. We thought that was weird since staying at other hotels, maid service is automatic. Half of the staff at the front desk were super friendly and nice and the other half of the staff looked like they don’t want to be bothered and look super annoyed when you go to request something for your room. The only great thing about staying here was the location of it because it was close to everything we wanted to do during our time in Puerto Rico.

The hotel is rundown a lot of remodeling needs to be done. We were not aware that they were remodeling the swimming pool so we had no access to it. We found two small roaches in our room and one in the sink. For the price that I paid it was not worth it at all.

I stood at this property from April 3 to the 7 and was one of the WORST experience in my LIFE. the property once upon a time was a gorgeous property (stood there a few years back) what it was is DEFINITELY not what it is now. It has NO POOL, hasnt had a pool in years. Looks like a run down tenement building, almost gives like a shelter feel or a property that receives assistants from the government in order to stay afloat, the people walking around look very sketchy. Garage smelled. House keeping is nonexistent here. The second room i was put into on the 8th floor, had not seen house keeping in days maybe weeks. The bedding was clearly filthy dirty had not been change in who knows how long, yellow and black stained sheets, a dirt (ear wax) cotton ear swab was on the bathroom floor, the toilet and tub had a yellow ring, the rug i cant distinguish the actually color, (i lost my mind is such an understatement) especially because i was charged 7 hundred plus dollars for this dump. My initial room didnt have any windows in the bedroom but second room came out of a hauted hotel scene (a motel 6 is a rits carlton compare to here). I then requested my money back, but i was then shown a regular room (way better room, but nothing fancy) on the first floor (room 182) however when i went to change rooms, maintenances had reported to management the AC in the room was down and should be taking off line until fixed. they tried to put me in that room although down. PLEASE DONT STAY HERE!!!

Overall not a bad first stay option when traveling to San Juan. The upkeep is almost entirely up to you (you have to request new bedsheets or towels and toilet paper when you need it. Some of the rooms are a bit antiquated especially for the price. Hallways need work and maintenance for sure, parking is 2 sub-levels below so be cautious when entering and exiting. The staff overall is very friendly and pretty helpful which is definitely a positive in my eyes. Great lobby area is pretty modern but not much going on there , the private entrance to the beach is definitely great and very convenient. Overall if they were to invest a little more in the maintenance and upkeep they would earn a higher rating.

We stayed at this hotel for a week, but the wifi didn't work until the end, and we asked the front desk many times to change the sheets, but they didn't do anything and we changed them ourselves on the last day. They only cleaned up the trash in the trash can, and left the other trash that didn't fit in there, and on the last day we saw a cockroach. I've stayed in many places before, but this was the first time I've stayed in a hotel like this.
