This is our 3rd time staying at the Berkeley (3 times since 2020). Honestly--while we still love the hotel/location, it feels like it has gone down hill a bit. Our room while extremely clean had a tiny bathroom with a toilet that "sang" for quite a bit after you flushed it. The TV didn't work for us--and the staff would come up and fix it while we were out, but it was frustrating we couldn't independently turn it on. And the KEYS---I understand hotel keys can become disabled if near a phone or credit card--but literally over the course of a weekend, they only worked for us 2 times. Each time we had to go to the front desk to have them reset.
The pool- while a highlight our last 2 visits, was a little depressing this time. The chairs are old/need a paint job--and the staff seemed really overwhelmed to be helping people at the pool. Not placing blame on them, I'm sure there was a lot going on. But this was a highlight in previous visits, and just wasn't the same.
We're rooting for the Berkely--just praying it comes back to life a bit.
This property has a ton of potential, and is nostalgic "Asbury Park".
