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.

A lot of upgrades are required. The balcony door does not lock. There was low lighting. The doors do not close all the way without applying force. The toilet hand some sediments in it that did not flush away. The towels were hard. The front desk persons weelre pleasant though. The location is convenient.

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 !

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 liked that there was a really nice gym. I also liked the size of the room it came with a kitchen and also how quick the elevators are. 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.
