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.

Rooms
5.0
The room, although listed as queen-sized, felt more like a full bed, and there was a noticeable musty and dusty smell that indicates the need for renovations. Despite these issues, the efforts of the engineers to fix them were evident.
Service
5.0
The staff were not very friendly or accommodating, making it a challenge to request a refund even when booking issues arose. However, the on-site facilities such as the ballroom and attentive staff providing services like room service and dry cleaning showed consistency and excellence in service.
Location

The location at the Nassau Inn offers unmatched proximity to Princeton University, making it ideal for campus visits. The convenience of being close to the Yandee Doodle Tavern and the thoughtful coffee service provided in the morning and evening adds to the overall experience.
Dining
6.0
The dining options varied in quality, with some enjoyable selections, but overall, the service was lacking, especially in the restaurant setting. The gourmet salads stood out among the choices.
Facilities
The facilities were average, needing some improvements to match the price point offered. The hotel could benefit from updates and enhancements in various areas to elevate the guest experience.

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.
