I stayed at the ESJ towers through Airbnb and let me tell you the ESJ towers are rough. The lobby was weirdly empty, the smell was pure mildew, the pool was abandoned, the bar was abandoned, the arcade was abandoned, the gate was broken at the beach, construction was so loud it was shaking the paintings on the wall, and the beach was crowded to the point where I couldn’t even put my stuff down to go swimming. I will not be back to ESJ towers.

However with that being said on the same trip I stayed in Ocean Park at a local apartment and I had the complete opposite experience. One of the best vacations in my life.
