Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were huge, super clean, and very comfortable, with high-level products, although the layout was a bit strange. The service was friendly and helpful during my quieter time at the hotel. The location was excellent, especially for my visit to Princeton University; however, the dining experience was fairly basic. Overall, the hotel offered a mix of luxury and boutique charm with a few quirks here and there.
