My family and I were in Puerto Rico for a funeral and decided to stay at the ESJ for a few days. Upon arrival, we were given a room with no hot water. A laminated sheet in the room indicated to dial “0” for assistance yet there was no phone in the room. The hotel main line was called numerous times but no response. Expedia was contacted and they too were unsuccessful in reaching them to request a refund on my behalf. I contacted them via the Expedia site only to receive a message that someone would look into it. Days later after I went to the office did they send someone to check the problem. The individual claimed to have fixed the issue yet we came back and no hot water at all. The day before check out we were out and received a call asking for permission to enter the room to check for a “leak”and they could not do so with the do not disturb sign on the door. I refused and told them to wait until I got back. No one ever went back to check for the leak and upon check out the front desk staff acted surprised and indicated the hot water issue would have to be looked into after check out. I’m sure I’m not the only guest who had this issue and they should not have given me that room if they know something was not right. They didn’t even try to move my room to accommodate for the inconvenience.

I arrived with my sister after a long travel day to attend a funeral. Checking time is after 4 PM. The room assigned to us looked very worn out with the few electrical outlets not working, so we could not charge our phones. The night lamps next to bed were not working either. It took a while before we were assigned another room where electrical outlets and lamps were working. The next thing was that we only got one little soap bar for washing hands and bathing for two people. There were also no wash cloths, and only one hand towel. Calling the front desk was useless as the phone was busy all the time. The next day at the front desk we explained we needed more soap and washcloths plus soap and sponge to wash our coffee mugs. We also requested more coffee if possible. Right there and then we got 3 soaps, and the sponge and soap to wash the coffee mugs. We were told they were low on washcloths and that they (the hotel) was going through some changes. Also, it is their policy not to clean rooms every day, just every four days, exactly the days we were staying there.I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. It was the biggest nightmare and although the building is an older building they do not keep up with making it nicer and more user friendly as far as plumbing and electrical. I will never go back.

There was a crazy man blasting music at 230am and they knew about him and put me in that apartment next to him anyways. The security guard said that man pulled a knife on him before. I had to pack all my things in the middle of the night and move rooms. It was horrible experience.

1st off don’t book this through Expedia I booked for a king size bed with a twin size sofa bed when we got there, they didn’t give us the bid that I booked for. They said that it was just a deluxe suite and it’s it was a double bed instead of the king bed that I booked for and they said that it was because that’s all they had available and if we have a book on their website, we would have the actual room that we booked for which is crazy cause what’s the difference but anyways the building structure is falling apart like on the side of the building like it’s fallen apart like actual structure is fallen off like I don’t know if it’s from the hurricane or what but it’s falling apart aside from that on the rooms clean you have you know beach access but yeah I don’t. I don’t think customer service was really good.
