I had a really nice stay at The Berkeley. My husband and I booked a one-night stay over Memorial Day weekend. Unfortunately, it rained, but we still had a lovely time. Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The hotel is in a great location with direct beach access and close to restaurants like the Iron Whale and AP Rooftop.
The hotel has a café, gift shop, ATM, bar, and vending machines with snacks and soda. The café was a bit underwhelming to me because the selection was limited, and the pastries seemed a little stale. The bar also felt more like a local dive bar than a hotel lounge, so I would recommend heading out to the boardwalk if you want a more elevated or streamlined experience.
It seems the hotel has made efforts to update the property, though I would not describe it as luxurious. That said, everything was very clean, and the room smelled fresh, which I appreciated. The bed was also extremely comfortable.
The lobby is beautiful and inviting, and the staff were attentive and accommodating throughout our stay. Juan, in particular, was especially kind and helpful. The hotel also offers complimentary tea and water in the lobby. Complimentary coffee would have been a nice touch, though I imagine they prefer guests purchase coffee from the café on-site.
We paid a reasonable rate since we stayed Sunday into Monday, but overall, I still think the hotel is a bit pricey for what you get.
