Stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. The hotel itself is nice enough for a weekend stay, although the walls are thin and you can hear your noisy neighbors. The prices are extreme for the quality of hotel and amenities (or lack thereof), but it's to be expected for a holiday weekend on the beach. They allow pets, if you travel... More

My friends and I stayed here one night in mid-May for a concert at The Stone Pony. The hotel was very easy to get to and parking was not a problem (used the valet for $20). The location was perfect for us -- we were there to see The Gaslight Anthem at The Stone Pony, which is 2 blocks away.... More

I've been here with my family a few times when we want short get aways from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. The hotel is always clean, the rooms are nice, and it's a short walk to the beach. We've always been treated nicely by the friendly staff. We also love the hot tea and coffee offered in... More

I was definitely frightened by the other reviews that I had read.... I am guessing they were not recent. Our room was quite lovely.... large and had great linens. We were provided an upgrade because of low occupancy (We were there on a Sunday and Monday). Our rates were reasonable and it was VERY quiet.... no construction noises as had... More

This hotel was recommended by friends who live there; they said it had been completely renovated. First error. It's undergoing renovations. That's a HUGE difference. the prices they charge are...

Let me cut to the chase. I have been more satisfied when I stayed in the last available room that had no heat, was over the street on the second floor in Times Square, New York and paid $350. That was many years ago but has always been my "low standard" of hotel experiences. Unfortunately, I now have experienced lower.... More

Working in the service industry, it was a big deal to get off a Saturday night to join my family at a wedding held nearby. I booked two rooms, one for my parents and one for myself, at the wedding block rate or $175. They managed to get us on the same floor (at first), but that is the end... More

My wife and I stayed at the Berkeley last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We decided on the Berkeley after her Aunt told her how beautiful it was. Well, for the most part it was beautiful. That's about the only positive thing about our stay besides the attentiveness of the night clerk, who after I called to tell them... More
