The bellboys and valet drivers were wonderful. The front desk staff were not very helpful. Didn’t want to ge bothered. I received no info other than my room number when I checked in. I had to call to have my room cleaned as well. All in all the hotel is good and we would stay again. The pool staff needs a little help as well.

Great location, easy walk to boardwalk, ocean and restaurants, nice inside with cafe, bar, etc. I must have gotten a bad room (maybe because I asked to check in early?) My room had soiled carpet, some disgusting gooey spot on the bed frame, dirty windows and the handle on the bathroom door kept falling off. Scratches on most the furniture and a rip in the bedspread! Parking is not easy to find during the height of the summer, and they take advantage of that and charge almost $100/night - just to park my car on the street around the corner! I’ll find another hotel next time I travel to Asbury Park.

The property had everything I needed. Earlier coffee shop opening would be an improvement. Earlier pool opening would be an improvement. I did not like all of the additional fees (resort etc.) which were excessive. Also, $90. for overnight parking is a big turn off when there was ample parking in the area. Make that a better competitive rate for loyal customers who stay multiple days.

Our room had a broken bathroom door and a light fixture above the door was not secured into the ceiling. As a result, we had to change rooms. I also believe for the rates charged there should at least be a coffee maker in the rooms.

Our Stay At The Berkeley

We were rather dissatisfied ith the room's ammenities. The bathroom was lacking in every ossible way.There was no towel bars in the bathroom, there was no ventillation, there was no vanity or shelf/counters upon which to place our personal care products. There was no place to put the towels for storage. When we arrived in the room all the towels had fallen off the towel rack and were on the floor. There was only one suitcase valet for a room reserved for two people, thus the 2nd occupant placed all of her belongings excwpt on top of the desk. The only wall outlet was on one side of the room, besides the module/alarm clock that does not accomodate all cables. We did not use your parking service because the price of $90 per night is outrageous. We were pleased to see that the room was tidied up and the beds were made. We were pleased that all requests for additional towels were responded to promptly.

I swear my experience changes each time I stay at this place. I pick it because of the convenient location, right across the street from the beach and the rooms are on the large side. It's great that they now have refrigerators in the rooms too, incredibly helpful and convenient. However every time I Stay I either have a good experience or a horrible experience this was my second visit for the summer of 2025 and this time was much less of a good experience than the previous one. The carpet was wet in the room and they sent someone up to dry the bathroom floor. Completely misunderstood what I told them on the phone and then never sent anyone back. The door handle came off the inside of the bathroom door. That could have been a very dangerous stuck in the bathroom incident if nobody else was in the room. The hotel seems to fail in just basic upkeep in many ways. And the lobby bathrooms were filthy this time and I only spent one night there. It's a shame again because of the great location, but for what you pay for these rooms even during the week, they could do so much better with basic upkeep.

The hotel is nice BUT could never stay here again. (I have stayed before) They pump intense fragrance into the lobby and rooms. They must spray the pillows. It was so intense I don’t think I could stay here again my headache is so bad. There was a room alarm set for 6am? And the bathroom light did not switch off despite taking out the room power key. Overall I really didn’t have the best experience.

I am very, very disappointed in the way I was treated at Berkeley Hotel. We were in the middle of hurricane Erin and could not leave our hotel beaches were closed. Pool was closed. Boardwalk was closed. Several shopping areas were open, but we had to drive to them. If we moved your car we would have to pay for parking all over again. Berkeley hotel did nothing at all to entertain us. No events planned in the hotel no complementary lunch or breakfast. Nothing was planned to accommodate our guest during the hurricane. I am very disappointed. I have asked to be credited a day because I was supposed to check out on Friday and due to staring at four walls for four days I decided to check out a day early also to add the four days that I stayed we had no maid that came in to clean our room make our beds give us clean towels I had to go to the front desk and ask for towels, garbage bags tissues, and so forth I am very very disappointed and also to add Expedia did not help me at all and try to get some type of help and getting some type of credit I would never book through Expedia again nor through Berkeley hotel
