    That the parking you had to pay for the whole time you were there. The hotel parking was not free! It was $75 and you could not park it yourself! I wish the hotel looked like it did when it first opened In the 1920’s that would have been great! Instead it was filled with cheap 80’s decor! That was disappointing.

    I like the location to the beach and the paramount! It was awesome.

    I know it’s the holiday weekend, but I overpaid making reservations thru Booking.com ($800)!! expensive for 1 room, 2ppl (over 60) for 1 nite!. $75 for parking!!! Worn, peeling desk chair & worn curtains, mini frig on floor (should of been on a table) In the future will make reservations directly to hotel!

    Great location, friendly staff, the very, very tall AA gentleman (security vest) & Dan at the front desk was very friendly & professional

    Too expensive for what it was. Parking cost was out of control and is shameful. Just go find parking on street. Value is not that good. Just an ok hotel… not amazing at all

    Paid over $400 for a room that did not have a view of the ocean.

    I loved the location in proximity of the boardwalk and the stone pony. Loved the valet parking.

    We didn’t see enough of the property to dislike anything. The room was definitely overpriced though. We’re going to Boca Raton in September at a beautiful Resort and it’s less expensive than we paid at the Berkeley

    The property was nice. We didn’t get to see the restaurants or the grounds. The room was ok and the lobby was nice. We asked for a room close to the elevators because my husband has trouble walking due to a stroke. I appreciate that we were accommodated.

    The TV remote. It is ridiculous to use. Besides the selection, you just can't plug in a station lie say you want to watch channel 32 for example, you can't just punch in 32 you have to remember the network and punch through the menu till you find it Also parking. $75 a day plus tips.

    I liked the location. There was a classic car show around the square on Thursday. We could watch alot of it from our room.

    $75/day to park in their parking lot. Outrageous. There were quite a few things that were not functioning in our room. Bathroom exhaust fan, heat lamps did not work, VERY slow draining of bathroom sink.

    Staff is super friendly and accommodating, directly across the street from the beach (3 minute walk), very clean, grounds are beautiful, views amazing. Rooms are spacious and beds are super comfortable. Loved the pool and pool bar. Ha. Without asking we were upgraded from partial ocean view to full ocean view room. Lovely!

    We were charged a resort fee for each day of our stay. I’m not sure why this charge exists. There aren’t enough amenities to justify this charge.

    Location was ideal Staff was very friendly Prices could be lower Air conditioning system broke down during our stay and they only refunded the resort fee

    I did not like the poolside service. Mike was fantastic, he made a Sangria when it wasn't on the menu and it was delicious. But Brendan did not provide adequate service. We had no utensils and napkins, no ketchup, mustard when the food came, I had to go get it myself. Then I found out the next next day that it was happy hour when we were there and we did NOT get the half price specials. Brendan should have known that. There are signs all over the hotel and he should be kind enough to promote that. I had to go back to the bar to get it the reimbursement and Mike said the manager would credit my credit card back, but I have yet to see in on the credit card. When Brendan brought our check back, he stood over us, waiting for us to sign. I have never seen that in my life. A server drops off the check and customers take their time and leave the signed check on the table. The food was also very mediocre for such a high price hotel. Salad wilted, no cole slaw on the plate (as advertised) and when he brought it out, was also brown and wilted. Food did not taste fresh. Music needs to be contemporary and modern. Music playing is so old, it feels like a time warp. The pool table is fantastic, but we were thrown out and said we couldn't play it. Don't advertise that if it can't be used. I would have liked a coffee maker in the room, like all other hotels. Breakfast included would be great, even if we have to pay a bit more. The chess set was incomplete and when we wanted to play.

    I loved the actual look and feel of the hotel. The front desk staff was amazing, supportive, accommodating and friendly. When the water from the tea wasn't hot enough, she got me some hot water. I can't remember her name, but all the front desk women were wonderful and were very knowledgeable and helpful. I love the size of the rooms, bathrooms etc. The accommodations are excellent! The hotel smells great. Love the ping pong table! I loved the little museum! We the local info of the area.

    Elevator’s worked when they wanted to, workers were friendly and decent except a few. It was average, just don’t recommend going to the pool with your kids, there was a lot of people drinking in the pool and to hectic.

    Lobby is very beautiful and room pictures are as described! So close to the beach and little shops inside the hotel plus food.

    Parking should be included in the room, or at least the hotel should charge a more reasonable price. 75 dollars is too much.
