Disappointing Value for Money. As a frequent business traveller, Berkley fell far short of the listing. The aparthotel is extremely basic. The furniture is noticeably cheap and worn, the décor is uninspiring, and the overall space feels unappealing. For the nightly rate, this represents poor value compared to competitors in the area.
More concerning was a security issue. After going to bed at 9:30am, I was woken at 10am by a staff member knocking and asking to access the room for something. I refused, but discovered the door had no internal lock or chain, only the main lock. This felt like a genuine security risk and left me uncomfortable for the remainder of my stay, worried they might try again. The location is great, which makes the indoor experience all the more disappointing. For business travellers seeking comfort and security, I'd recommend looking elsewhere in this price bracket.
