I had a lovely stay at the Berkeley! The charm of the historic building was delightful, and the location right by the boardwalk made it so convenient for our beach plans. However, while the staff was amazing and responsive, I did notice that the room needed some updates, as it felt a bit outdated. Overall, the value for money is decent considering the prime spot and amenities provided.

My stay at the Berkeley was lovely, especially with its prime location just across the street from the beach and boardwalk. The rooms were spacious and charming, though they lacked a mini-fridge and coffee maker, which was a minor inconvenience. The service was excellent, with friendly staff all around. However, I found the dining options a bit underwhelming and overpriced for what was offered.

The Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel has some appealing features like its great location near the boardwalk and nearby attractions, which is perfect for a concert getaway. However, the cleanliness of the rooms leaves much to be desired, and the service can be frustrating, particularly with check-in and valet issues. Overall, the stay wasn't worth the price tag.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location is fantastic, right near the beach, the service left much to be desired. The rooms are quite beautiful and spacious, but the lack of amenities like a fridge was disappointing. Overall, for the price, it was an okay experience, but I expected more based on the reputation.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location is absolutely ideal, right across from the beach, and the staff were generally friendly and helpful, there were a few issues that dampened my stay. The rooms were nice but could use a bit more space in the bathrooms. Plus, our dining experience could be improved, especially regarding breakfast offerings. Overall, it's a good choice for the beach access but don't expect everything to be perfect.

The rooms were fine but the bathrooms could have used a bit more space. I had a lovely high ceiling that made it feel larger, but there were some pesky mosquitos along the window sill.
