Pricewise it was the best option in the area. (So it seemed until the upcharges). I stayed 2 nights with two teen children. I received the following upcharges: $100 extra person fee (the room had 2 queens and accommodates 4 so I’m not understanding this) $25 per night resort fee-this was to use the pool and pool towels and we also received 2 Poland Spring water bottles day 1 only. I feel this should have been included in the nightly rate as it was not optional. $75 per night valet parking ($90 weekend!) with no self park option other than inconvenient on street metered parking. Walls were SUPER THIN. Could hear actual conversations in the next room. TV was not a smart TV so could not cast our streaming services, not a big deal for us but maybe for others. Room was very clean, common areas clean, cute shops in the lobby. Felt very safe. LOVELY STAFF. Directly across the street from beach which was ideal. Pool area was lovely. Music playing and food and drinks available. Coffee shop in house was a plus. Overall would stay again but take the other charges into account while comparing to other hotels in the area.

The hotel was great and location was ideal. Service was wonderful. The mattresses could use replacement as one of the queens in our double queen room was very warn in - basically sat a few inches lower than the other mattress. Other than that, I would stay at the Berkeley again.

I’ve been coming to Asbury Park since I was a little girl, and my parents lived at the Asbury Towers for over 30 years—so I know the area and The Berkeley Hotel very well. Over the years, I’ve seen the hotel go through ups and downs, and while some of the quirks of a 100-year-old shorefront building can be forgiven, this most recent experience was truly disappointing. I stayed for a girls’ weekend from Friday, July 18th through Monday, July 21st. Unfortunately, our room was never cleaned during our entire stay. I called the front desk several times requesting fresh towels (which I had to pick up myself), and worst of all — no one replaced the toilet paper. At 6 a.m., I had to go down to the lobby and ask for a roll. That’s not just inconvenient, it’s unacceptable. These basic service failures completely overshadowed the charm and history of the hotel. I genuinely hope management takes this seriously. Guests are willing to overlook some wear and tear due to the age and location of the building — but not basic hospitality. Please do better.
