Top Princeton University Hotel Reviews

The Heldrich Hotel

8/10 Good

"I stayed in a "Luxury King" room. The comforter was so thin I had to request another. A robe would have been nice. Otherwise it was comfortable, clean and lovely."

MHO Hotel Bordentown

10/10 Excellent

"Linen and sheets were very clean!!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Hillsborough

8/10 Good

"Convenient location"

Hyatt Place Princeton

8/10 Good

"this hotel was good in many ways, namely the desk clerks and the cleanliness of the room. I also enjoyed the spaciousness. The downsides would be the way they have the TV setup. if you want to stream your own subscription services they force you to use chromecast which as an apple user is a nonstart but to make it even more difficult the TV itself was hard to navigate and the remote was deplorable. now i don't care too much about tv. I'd still give the place 4 stars. I'd give it 5 but the breakfast was poorly stocked and unattended. I got down to it at about 7:30 AM and there was very little to choose from unless you like old fruit. and by old fruit i mean very wrinkled oranges and apples so waxed you could shine a floor with them. Now- I get it. its a hotel continental breakfast. Thats a tough thing to make worthwhile from a profit standpoint- my advice would be to just not do it all. the coffee was ok though. All in All.. I enjoyed my brief stay. Just don't bank on the breakfast being anything exciting."

Windsor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was excellent. Room was OK,"

TRAVELERS INN

10/10 Excellent
