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.

When booking the room, I booked a king size bed and got a double bed. Although the room looked nice there was no hot water making it difficult to take longer showers.

Limited staff. The moment i started walking through the hallway on the 8th floor to the room, the floors were dirty and noticed storage doors by elevator was off the hinges. 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.
Hallway towards entrance to room door.
Loose door lock. Had to slam door to close.
Stains on wall.
