ESJ the staff was very friendly and try to help in any circumstances. It was really safe!! The property needs a lot of updates, the pool was under construction, my husband and I noticed once we checked in. The reason we booked ESJ was to celebrate our honeymoon and enjoy the pool and no pool that was sad. ESJ should advertise there is NO POOL. The room was ok, but it was not clean the kitchen was dirty.The checked in process was horrible, I truly felt bad for the concierge, she was the only one helping like 20 people; my husband and I we waited for almost 2 hours to have the room we booked.I asked for ocean view prior the check in. We received a different room, at the end the concierge accommodated us. Only 2 elevators worked instead of 3.The concierge that checked us in she goes above and beyond. Willy bar tender was very pleasant and very professional.

The updated double queen room that I had was beautiful. Loved the amenities, huge TV, AC/heat split unit modern kitchen and appliances and double sink that came in handy. Wife loved that the washer/dryer unit added the convenience of laundering our clothes without having to leave the room. Beds super comfy, area around hotel was walkable and had great food offerings. Beach access is great. We had a slight issue with lack of hot water, but a quick chat with maintenance and it was fixed in minutes (circuit breaker tripped). That was it.. Our stay was too short as we were so comfortable with everything that it just felt like home. The staff was genuinely happy to be there and supportive. Created a very welcoming atmosphere and we will return to the ESJ Beach Hotel.

The moment i walked into the room, we immediately noticed mold in the bathroom, stains on the walls and stains on the bed sheets. Paint on wall was peeling off also.
