“Beautifully managed property...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2011

This is our go-to hotel in the Princeton area. The property is beautifully maintained and I've bumped into the general manager a couple times on our stays; she is often buzzing around the property doing things and making sure everything is ship-shape. The rooms are very clean and well maintained; there is a huge walking path adjacent to the hotel which runs parallel to the river/lake--just ask at the front desk how to connect. I prefer staying in rooms that do not face hwy 1. Evening reception/dinner is always welcome and the breakfast is well-done, too......although, would love it if they would add muffins or a different pastry.

“Poor Service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2011

Staying for the last 8 days and had bitter experience (Room # 419)
2 T-Shirts which was given for laundry on 26/7/2011 and noticed it was was spoiled with colors all over the T-Shirts. I borught this to the notice of the Front Desk. The initial reaction was " we are not responsible" since they dont do any laundry, as the service was done by a 3rd Party vendor. Returned the t-shirt back to the Hotel so that the vendor knows what mistake he committed and wash it properly and give it back.
After couple of days when I contacted the Front desk, I was told they are not responsible and even refused to contact the vendor to enquire about the status. Rather they gave the number and asked me to speak to the laundry vendor. Also they gave me the laundry slip, highlighting that hotel is not responsible for whatever happens to the laundry.
It is a act of WASHING THE HANDS off the problem.
I am very disappointed they way this issue was handled by the hotel staff.

I understand that you have been busy with work and travel however I never received a response from you on the three options I provided to you on reimbursement of the damage clothing which was the direct result of our outside dry cleaning service. I would like to reimburse you 100% for the damage clothing however I do need you to contact me at the hotel's main telephone number or through my email address which was sent in direct response to your email complaint.

“Great Hotel for Visiting our Princeton Student”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2011

For us the location was perfect, only one mile from the Princeton Campus. Our daughter is a student athlete and we wanted to visit and watch some games and give her some love.
It was great, we had a nice mini suite with a full kitchen so we were able to cook for her and she could sleep on our couch bed to get a break from being in the dorm. Ny husband took advantage of the wonderful running/biking trails just a short walk from the hotel. Wonderful shuttle service that takes you within a 5 mile (?) radius of the hotel and the onsite restaurant was just fine. Princeton parents should definitely put this on their hotel lists. Location, Location, Location! Oh. I almost forgot! Free breakfast and evening receptions on certain nights, check with hotel for details!

“Best Hotel Yet on the Great American College Road Trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 21, 2011

Just stayed for an overnight (wish it could be longer) Really nice hotel, but difficult to get to off the highway. It's visible, but not intuitive how to get there. Room was enormous, really a one bedroom apartment. Clean and comfortable. The hairdryer needs replacing, kept over heating after a few seconds. Slept great because the airconditioning worked perfectly and the room was very quiet. The breakfast was delicious especially the quiche and the chocolate croissants! Overall a truly great value for a lovely place to stay and close to Princeton if you're planning a visit.

“Nice room, needs better breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 21, 2011

The room was equivalent to other Homewood Suites I've stayed in.

The breakfast was not too good. It appears to be the standard stuff that is served at hotels all over the country but was overcooked.

The pool was nice but on one evening there was a woman giving a swimming lesson to a local kid. We know this because the kid and his mom showed up and knocked on the outside door to be let in. The kid went into the restroom and changed then the lesson began. There was still plenty of room for my kids to play in the pool but the kid's mom appeared to be offended when my kids splashed. This all just makes me wonder who is the priority--the paying guest or the swimming lessons?

The free shuttle to the Princeton Junction train station was great--you just have to sign up at the front desk for one of the available times.

For some reason, our car GPS was confused about the location. If approaching from the south, you'll see Ruby Tuesday, a couple of hotels, and then the Homewood Suites on the left side of US 1. Keep going to Scudder's Mill Road where you can make a u-turn.
