Its original Victorian architecture remains present through the modern luxuries that have been added over the years.

The large and breathtaking ballrooms are commonly used to create unforgettable wedding ceremonies. The expansive and panoramic rooftop area can be used for an open-air ceremony or for a sunset cocktail party.

While the Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel is a beachfront property, it still offers a seasonal swimming pool complete with private cabanas and a Tiki Bar. Asbury Park’s premier steakhouse, AP Chophouse, is located on the ground floor of the hotel. Its upscale menu and classy atmosphere make it an ideal location for a romantic evening with a partner or a relaxing meal with friends.

Anonymous, Aug 2017
Pros (+) The proximity to Asbury Park beach and the board walk was unmatched! Excellent location for beach days and date night! The 3 restaurants we went to were amazing-- Kate Marie's, Stella Marina, and Robinson Ale House. The room was big enough for the two of us. The bed was comfortable and the linens were clean. I would return for a quick trip.
Cons (-) The hotel had some "modern" updates in the main common areas, but there needs to be more renovations throughout the hotel. The bathroom door barely closed...there were pieces of the wall that needed to be replastered and painted. They gave basic updates to the carpet, TV, and beds, but the closets and bathrooms were left wanting.
