The building is in dire need of upgrades. The hot musty aire that greeted me when I arrived on my floor was not pleasant. I didnt like that there is little to no housekeeping services. I ran out of toilet paper my last day because very little toilet paper was provided. When I asked for more the cleaning staff responded with a look of displeasure and only provided one small roll. When I saw that I needed more I asked for more at the front desk and was told someone would bring me more. No one brought me more and I resorted to using paper towles I cut in squares for toilet paper. I also saw a roach in the bathroom on 3 seperare occassions. I will never stay here again. Terrible!!!

The check in procedure was slow, only one of three elevators were working, the pool was temporarily closed, no hair dryer in room. It took a lot of leg work to get one. We have stayed at ESJ many times. New management needs lots of improvement to make this as successful as previous owners.

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.
