Breakfast open at 8 am - waiting time for about 30 minutes for sandwich. No service at the bar . Food at the pool and service was excellent. I don’t understand why hotel is charging for resort fee if everything is closed.

Why do we keep going back?

The only real thing this hotel has going for it is it's proximity to the beach. We've been coming here for a decade, every visit we're told they are "renovating" yet the only things that change are sloppy changes to the lobby, restaurants etc. The pool is up and running again, which is nice, but it is still dirty. It's noisy. The rooms are old. The "black out curtains" had so many rips/tears that it looked like we were sleeping in space. It's like every corner that can be cut, has been. When you are paying premium beach prices, this stings a little. We do change things up and stay at other hotels in the area, we really want to like the Berkeley more than we do but it keeps disappointing us.

I loved the historic charm of the building design and layout and it being so close to the boardwalk and beach was a plus when you have kids. Aside from the room right next door we didn't hear any noise that would keep the kids up.
