We stayed here during the Light of Day Festival and I am very glad we did! The location could not possibly be better, it was clean and the price was more than reasonable. We had a great time in Asbury Park and hope to return, and when we do we will definitely stay at the Berkeley! More

I was warned by friends that I should never stay here, but it's so convenient for the Paramount Theatre that I ignored them, and I'm glad I did. The room was large with views over the ocean and had a very large bed, sofa and desk. The bathroom was adequate - a couple of loose floor tiles - but bath... More

I've stayed at the Berkeley several times over the years, and it's easy to see that the property has been getting some TLC as of late - no doubt a tough task in the current economy. While always a pleasant place to stay, with a terrific location, the Berkeley had been very rough around the edges. We stayed at the... More

I recently stayed there for a wedding and that was the hotel that was booked, but I was not a fan. To start off there was not enough parking spots for the guests. At 6pm they explained to use that the lot was full and did not comp our parking to park on the street. The parking lot seemed to... More

I've stayed at the Berkeley at least a dozen times over the past four years and I have to say it keeps getting better and better. Initially, we had to be content with the charm of faded glory but it is getting less faded. They keep making good choices in their renovations -- not only are the ballrooms lovely, they... More

We stayed here for the ATP music festival and had an amazing room with a view of the ocean. It was a perfect location, and the rooms and hotel itself were very nice and clean. Loved it and hope I can go back next year! More

We only live about a 1/2 hour away and spend a good deal of time in Asbury Park. When we got tickets to a show in Convention Hall, we decided to make a night of it and I got a reservation to stay overnight at the Berkeley. Only being in the lobby of the hotel in the past, I was... More

Had to pay & park on street and after a late night had get up at 9am to go back down & put more money in meter to avoid ticket! Hotel is doable considering not alot to choose from right in asbury park but... More

We went in the off season to see a concert at the Convention Center - the hotel was very convenient for that as it was right across the street. When we pulled up to the hotel i doubted by GPS as it certainly did not look like a hotel - it looked like an apartment building or a retirement home... More

We recently had the pleasure of an extended weekend stay at this charming hotel with a large group of conventioneers. Even though it was off season and the hotel was filled nearly to capacity, the staff was wonderfully accommodating and our group raved about their overall experience. This older facility, standing right across from the Boardwalk, was abandoned for several... More
