We have ridden our bicycles down the Asbury boardwalk for years, and have always wanted to stay at the Berkeley. Its location and architecture are iconic, as is its history! So We stayed there many nights recently, knowing it’s off season. Of course the pool was closed, as was the restaurant. At least the sports bar was (sometimes) open and usually jumping. The staff was excellent, very helpful in many ways. Our room was worth the amazing views up and down the shore! Walking around the boardwalk is always special. The grand ballrooms are huge and amazing, and while it’s 100 years old, it’s a stunning property.

Hotel was right across the street from the beach and easy to get street parking. We paid around $25 for a full day (overnight is free) versus over $60 to park with the hotel. The elevators all scared me a bit because they were extremely creaky and slow but thankfully there were no issues aside from that! We were there on an unusually warm day and needed the a/c turned on. It would not work and the room was 77 degrees inside (82 degrees outside). I went down to the front desk and they were able to slightly adjust it to be 73 degrees. I was getting ready to attend a wedding and was sweaty the entire time- I wish it had been possible to make the room a little cooler. One other bizarre thing to mention- the bathroom sink was insanely shallow. I didn’t even have enough room to scrub my hands with soap under the faucet, I had to wash first and then rinse my hands one at a time. My husband and I were cracking up at how weird this design was and who would have ever approved it. The cafe downstairs was great but they were not open early morning (7am) for coffee. There are no coffee makers in the room so we left and went elsewhere. All in all, we had a pretty good stay and would consider this hotel again in the future.

Stay was different than years prior.

We stayed here a few years ago and it was pleasant. It's never been the cleanest location but service was usually good and the convenience of being close to the beach/boardwalk is great for the price. It seems that management may be different from when we last stayed. Maintenence of the place seems to be less a priority and the cleanliness even less so than last time. Every surface in our room had cup rings, we found hair in the bathroom upon entry, and some small but noticeable things in the room were damaged cosmetically. The wait for check-in was also longer than usual. I'd love to see the place improve and flourish so I can give it a higher rating next time we stay.

Being a 100 year old hotel it was beautifully appointed with Chandeliers and some elegant touches. The staff were ok. We were going to use valet but no one ever came out so we used street parking which was cheaper anyway. They say they have coffee in the lobby in the mornings but it seriously was hidden down a hallway and to the left. The bar can get rowdy and loud so if you like that vibe it’s the place to be. I also found some of the floors in the cafe bar area sticky which I just can’t stand. I never saw anyone cleaning throughout our stay. So all in all it was just ok

Not great. Limited amenities as listed on website (desk clerk: Oh, we haven't had that since the pandemic). So, if you're not going to offer amenities anymore, you should stop advertising that you have them. Definitely not worth the price, even with the view.

Disappointed

Did not have many guests since it was the off-season and very cold. I was disappointed to not be offered an upgraded room due to the high vacancy rate and the fact that we have stayed there many times before. Also disappointed that the gift shop was not open at all during our stay. Parking is also EXTREMELY overpriced.
