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.

An interesting building with a great history has been reduced to lipstick on a pig. The only employees with a sense of professionalism and service were the valet parking team, and at $90 per day, they had better be. While our room was quite spacious, the window treatments were stained and filthy, and one armchair was held together with scotch tape. Worse still was being awakened at 2:00 AM from a room party one night, street partiers another. The bars look nothing like the website photos and are tired and old. For the supposed sports bar, the televisions showing old Westerns were ridiculous. Lastly, a casual breakfast served in paper boxes was $55, and our pizza in the sports bar was served on cheap paper plates. This hotel might think they are a sophisticated oasis in Asbury Park, but we would argue it is anything but.

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.
