Nicer than I expected. ROOMS AND HOTEL UPDATED BUT STILL seems a bit worn. Very nice staff! Great location. Much less expensive than ocean place in long branch...they also allow pets. This place is fine to stay at. More

We stayed at the Berkeley on May 12th because we didn't want to drive all the way back home after a concert at the Pony. My friends had already booked a room for themselves so I didn't choose the hotel. I had stayed here before back in the 80's and it was sort of pretentious back then. I was pleasantly... More

Was there this past weekend with family. Was kind of nervous after seeing reviews. But what I found were recently renovated rooms and bathrooms. Though the furniture is old. And room safe did not work. Overall room was spotless. Staff were extremely helpful and the location was great. Great hotel by the ocean. More

Not impressive. Driving up there is no sign on building. Old brick bldg with no charm. Exterior needs woodwork, paint, brick cleaned. Landscaping shows signs of recent upgrading. Parking was available in 2 owned, graveled, lots that were packed, at $10 per 24 hrs, street parking at $1 per hour. Bellman, maintenance and front desk employees very friendly/helpful.

First time staying here, was recomended by a friend. Had an ocean view room on a high floor, woke up to the sound of the waves crashing. It's in a perfect location, right across the street from the beach and boardwalk, full of resturants and shops. The room was very clean and bed very comfortable. Staff was nice and informative...

I booked a double room online for $99 a night, but when I got there with 3 people they charged us an extra $20 for the third person. They also charged $10 a day for parking. No fridge, no microwave, no coffee in the morning, even if you ask for it! Staff is rude (except for the gentleman working yesterday).... More

The hotel was renovated and with great taste. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We got a King room; the bathroom was spotless and very comfortable. The only issue I have is with the Night concierge (April 7 @ 2am) I mentioned we booked the room via Booking.com and the reservation was not in the system yet; the concierge told... More

We purchased a Groupon for 2 nights stay at the Berkley for $200. We had never been to Asbury Park and just wanted a pleasant getaway. Due to the price, we set our expectations low, and just wanted a clean, safe hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by the charm of the hotel which looks like it has had a lot... More
