Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel Reviews

Great service

Property is old. It is a historic site. That said, very nice location, ocean view, steps to Asbury Park boardwalk. Property has limited food and beverage choices. That would be nothing for breakfast on Wed. Thur and Friday. Rooms are large but dated and need work. It appears renovations are taking place on the property. If you want to explore Asbury Park it is an adequate choice.

I was surprised by the generous size of the room and the beautiful view. We have stayed at the neighboring Asbury Hotel and this was much more spacious and a better price. The staff is super nice and liked that we had a bar and breakfast place on site. Nice walk to restaurants and boardwalk. Would like to stay there again. Would like if the rooms had a refrigerator. It’s not totally up to date but it is comfortable and I appreciated the space vs the update but tight and uncomfortable space of The Asbury

The property needs major renovations. Carpet was dirty and most of the things are outdated. Does not feel like 3 star. Also, the view is not that great.

We have stayed several times: the rooms are clean and the staff service excellent. There are just a few things that would be greatly appreciated in the rooms such as a mini refrigerator.

The front desk clerk Joe was phenomenal!! He went above and beyond across the board, and was helpful to myself and friends for any need we had! He is a star, and should be recognized as such by his employers!!

The staff was exceptional. The property had very limited parking. You could pay for street parking or pay for valet parking. The property needs work, who ever did work in this hotel, they didn't care. The fixtures are old, poor lighting.

resort fee not described on *******, but the hotel charges. valet parking was told $40, but charged $70

Stayed several times, each time getting disappointed. Maybe the first time was good because it was the summer. If you're going to be open in the winter, there has to be a draw, things open, especially if you're going to continue to charge resort fee. Sitting in the lobby isnt resort worthy. Next time, staying elsewhere. Its a missed opportunity on the hotels part because of their prime location.

TV did not work and the smoke detector battery needed changed so it tweeted.could not get refund as I booked and prepaid through *******

It was wonderful, large room looking at the ocean. Beautiful hotel and the people at the front fest could not be nicer.

This whole ‘hotel’ is horrible. Beds are the worst I’ve ever slept on in all my years of traveling, bathroom lights are on a timer and shut off while you’re in there, coffee is “free” but you can’t find it and you end up accidentally paying 8$ for 2 coffees in the lobby. Shower backed up so I was standing in 2 inches of water the whole time. Air conditioning didn’t work even though we had the key in the slot needed to run it (can only run when you’re in the room). Toilet sounded like a freight train squeezing to a stop for five minutes after flushing and shower head kept going for 5 minutes or so after shutting off. Overall not clean, comfortable or worth our money.

The desk clerk was very nice. It's winter at the shore, so it was very quiet. The view was good, a little of town, a little of the ocean. Prices in the town were good. Nice happy hour at the Iron Whale.

Needs an update. Paint spots all over bathroom and carpet. Heat wasn’t working. Bathroom is freezing, however very spacious room and very convenient to boardwalk and downtown
