Our room was dated. The extension cord plugging in the mini fridge which sits directly on the floor, was cut and clearly unsafe. The carpet was wet. The room was dingy. There is no parking and to valet it is $100 extra fee. Kind of a scam

We had a good stay at the hotel. However we had some problems with the lamps in our room. One didn’t work and the other one was hard to turn off. Especially at night when we were trying to sleep.

The location is the only reason I’d go back - great walkable area. The hotel is very old and in need of upgrade. Clean enough, but serious need of upgrades. The blackout curtains were worn out and when closed, the sun shined thru like twinkle lights. Again, great location, very out dated and old rooms.

Uninterested staff, terrible food at the hotel’s restaurant, small pool, and overall underwhelming “hotel” located right next to the beach and boardwalk. They charge exorbitant nightly prices and then tack on a nearly $29 service charge plus $75 to park in their lot (street parking is scarce).

This is our 3rd time staying at the Berkeley (3 times since 2020). Honestly--while we still love the hotel/location, it feels like it has gone down hill a bit. Our room while extremely clean had a tiny bathroom with a toilet that "sang" for quite a bit after you flushed it. The TV didn't work for us--and the staff would come up and fix it while we were out, but it was frustrating we couldn't independently turn it on. And the KEYS---I understand hotel keys can become disabled if near a phone or credit card--but literally over the course of a weekend, they only worked for us 2 times. Each time we had to go to the front desk to have them reset. The pool- while a highlight our last 2 visits, was a little depressing this time. The chairs are old/need a paint job--and the staff seemed really overwhelmed to be helping people at the pool. Not placing blame on them, I'm sure there was a lot going on. But this was a highlight in previous visits, and just wasn't the same. We're rooting for the Berkely--just praying it comes back to life a bit. This property has a ton of potential, and is nostalgic "Asbury Park".

Not having parking pass included in price is a big miss. Valet is very expensive per day and meter parking takes away from ultra convenience of staying here. I hope they change this policy in the future and go back to enabling a reasonable self parking in the hotel lot.

I would have liked a coffee option in the room. I think with the proximity to the boardwalk there should be a reciprocity arrangement to the beach for entry and towels.

Overpriced, rundown, outdated, not worth the price
This hotel is extremely outdated and poorly kept. My room was insanely humid and moist, I’ve stayed in plenty of beach properties and never had it this bad. There was a lingering mold-like scent and the walls are paper-thin, I called the front desk to ask for a bowl for my dog for water and they never brought one up. They advertise having parking but did not mention it was valet only at $75/day-ontop of the already insane cost per night for this rundown hotel. I was coming and going quite a bit and had to park on the street which wasn’t easy with all the events happening around the area, beach goers and other hotels. I was so uncomfortable and couldn’t breathe with the moldy-smell and humid, damp room I ended up leaving late on my last night of my reservation and going home early. I probably won’t be staying here again.
