Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
the location is very convenient and the price/quality ratio is great. However, housekeeping barged in on me at 6:00 p.m. without knocking and the following day they didnt come by to do my room till past 6:00 p.m. when I was already back in the room (so the room didnt get taken care of). I had also signalled an annoying issue with the toilet that kept flushing and making noise. It was not addressed. So, in general, my stay was nice but some things need attention.

The property was quiet, which is what I needed for my work trip. The onsite restaurant, bar, and convenience options were solid. All staff were kind and effective. Property is convenient to Princeton University, Quaker Bridge Mall, Target, and ShopRite. Easy access into and out of the property despite being along Route 1.

The cost of the snacks and food and breakfast there are outrageous to have a fully functioned in kitchen and the quality of the food that they serve was lackluster it can be severely improved and the cost of the snack bar by the front desk is outrageous makes no sense where the cost of these basic things would be so high if I had to do it all over again I would go somewhere else

It was a nice property, helpful to have a restaurant at the hotel after a long day of travel. We booked a king room with a pull out and on our reservation we indicated that we were traveling with children. It would have been nice to have bedding set for the pull out ahead of our arrival. We were excited about the pool, but unfortunately we were not able to use it due to an issue with the pool during our stay.

This is my second stay at this hotel in 9 years. Still nice and clean, but rooms are starting to show some minor signs of wear with scuffs on cabinets and furniture. Plenty of parking space for my car with trailer. Courteous staff. Breakfast buffet is OK but a bit pricey for what you get, still convenient to have it in the hotel. Notwithstanding small inconveniences, I would stay here again.

Average across the board. Bed was comfortable, but the bathroom had ample room for improvement. For one, the toilet’s handle and seat were flimsy and clearly had patch repairs in the past. The shower also had some shampoo smears and hair in the wall in places that weren’t from me upon arrival. Overall, it’ll do in a pinch but I won’t stay here again if I can avoid it.
