I think the problem is that the exterior of the building doesn't reflect what may be going on inside. If you were to spend $190 a night to stay there, and you pulled up in front, wouldn't you balk at the sight of broken and boarded up windows? I for one would love to see a great funky hotel in

During the summer a few years ago they were charging almost that much money before anything was done. We moved to Atlanta for a year and wanted to get our Asbury fix during a visit in March. Even then the rooms were about $100. We rented one of the Presidential suites for $175 a night. I'm

I disagree on all points. There are lush apartments in old buildings in the meat packing district that have been transformed into very cool apt's. There are dance clubs in old churches (see the limelight). I've been to hotels in France which are 400 years old and have a funky retro bar

I've been to cool funky hotels all over the planet. Funky and old outside is one thing, but wouldn't you be a little dismayed if you spent that kind of money and pulled up and saw broken and boarded up windows? What about windows that are open despite the fact that it's raining outside? I think

FYI.hotels.com has rooms for $132.00 and the Berkeley Hotel is matching the internet rate for my stay there tomorrow as well as upgrading me to an ocean view room. Once this becomes a full service hotel I am sure they will be able to command a rate even higher than $190.00 per night

I agree that it could be a great addition to the town, and despite what i've said about the exterior, I hope they succeed. What cracks me up is what hotels.com is listing as the area attractions; Monmouth Mall - 5.5 miles Shore Performing Arts Center - 2.5 miles Paramount Theatre Convention

I hear you on keeping it unique, but those are all generalities and not solutions to what it should look like and how you should take advantage of asbury's intrinsic asssets as it relates to this structure. I'm just curious how you think that should be done at the Berkeley. Also who knows

The berkley will be filled all summer long. Look north to deal. All the clients they need to fill it in the summer, the coming holidays and more. As far as funky and what works. Walk through South Beach, move away the curtains and lights. You can also walk into someplace like Mattison Park

I don't want to post my thoughts on this yet, but is the hotel even open yet?? I suspect it is, but it's probably no where near being done. How can anyone judge it??? Anyone who stays there would clearly see they are one of the first to arrive, and that it's a work in progress.

When u stop back in, ask them the deal with the plywood window for over a year on the corner of Sunset and Ocean Ave, conference room. I know the windows you mean. As of last week when i went by last, all the large picture windows downstairs were replaced in that area.
