Nice place. Well put together and overall, friendly staff. Pleasant, cozy, clean room but could hear some outside sounds. Carpet a little stained, otherwise excellent. Included breakfast was basic. Afternoon tea (separate and open to the public) was not recomendable. Nothing like the real thing. Bar was well stocked.

The breakfast was good overall, but there wasn’t a lot of fresh hot food and the variety was limited. But, the breakfast was free, and the breakfast area was extremely nice with beautiful artworks on the walls and delicate silverware. The hotel room was clean mostly except for the 3 bugs I found that I had to kill, and there was a light stain on the outside of the comforter. But, other than that, the room was very nice and well put together, and the bathroom was spacious with many useful amenities that you wouldn’t find in other hotels such as mouthwash, a body exfoliator, and etc. The hotel outside and rooms have a 17th century style of furniture, wall art, and overall decoration, which I found was really cute and matches the Princeton area nicely. The staff were welcoming and helpful. They offer to park your car when you arrive. The hotel is a great location. You can walk to Princeton and many other great shops and cafes from the hotel.

Our Room was splendid, well supplied with snacks and bar beverage selections, and impressive bath accessaries and warm thick bathrobes. Our room overlooked the front of the hotel and the beautifully landscaped grounds. Excellent!

Great couples getaway!

Very good stay for me and my husband. This hotel has a lot of character because it is a historical building. The room was quite small (we had a regular queen room) but thoughtfully laid out. We also loved the area in which it is located. Everything downtown was walkable, which is what we wanted. One complaint - The continental breakfast was excellent but the coffee was not hot. I could have probably said something about this though. The staff is super attentive and helpful.

Was one of my favorite boutique hotels for many years, BUT certain aspects could use a facelift. Carpeting in room was a bit worn & stained. Because weather outside was bone chilling - bathroom was freezing and had no heat to speak of at all. Overhead heat lamps installed might solve the problem.

This is the second time I’ve stayed there and this time I made a point to tell them way in advance that I needed a no feather room, yet when I arrived I still got a room full of feathers and had to wait until the housekeeper changed the pillows and comforter. They gave me 2 non-feather pillows but then put 2 feather pillows back on the bed. I just put those outside the room because I didn’t feel like dealing any more and it made me mad. I’m allergic to feathers and will be miserable if I sleep on them and can’t breathe. So I think that’s the last time I’ll stay there and look for another place to stay for our next visit to Princeton. It’s pretty there and very pleasant generally but for the price, this place needs to step it up.
