Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location in the heart of Princeton is spectacular, making it perfect for exploring the town. While the bed felt smaller than expected and the room had a musty smell that needs addressing, the dedicated engineers tried to rectify the situation with ongoing renovations, which is appreciated.
The hotel offers great rooms with high-quality furnishings, equipped for work and relaxation, although some noise and leak issues were present. The bar offers expensive drinks and average food. The service was quite helpful with some lapses in information and courtesy at times. The location is perfect for visiting the university and exploring downtown, though the property itself appears tired despite its central position. The dining options were varied, but the service could be improved. Overall, a decent choice with room for enhancements.
My stay at the hotel was a delight. The rooms were a good size and clean, which was perfect when the photographer came for the 'getting ready' shots in the morning. However, the room size was a bit small for the number of guests present.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious, although a little dated, and offered a lovely view of Palmer Square. The lack of tidying during our four-night stay was a downside. The service was exceptional, with super friendly and helpful staff who easily accommodated our late check-out request. The location was amazing, right in the center of old town Princeton, opposite the prestigious Princeton University. The dining experience, especially the croissants, was good, but some extra attention to room tidiness would have been appreciated.
