Fantastic Princeton Location
Located on busy US Rt. 1, this hotel occupies a great spot, close to Princeton University for guests visiting the college. The D&R Canal Path is located right behind the hotel, and is good to use to walk to downtown Princeton, which is about two miles one way. You'll also find nice restaurants within a short drive, and a Ruby Tuesday within walking distance.

Rooms a basic, yet clean, spacious, and comfortable. You won't be overwhelmed with the decor or amenities, but you will be pleased with comfy beds, a nice TV, and a strong Wi-Fi connection.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Climate Control Issues
Guests say that the blower for the HVAC unit faces the bed, so the air or heat is so strong that it blows on your face all night. Plus, it is quite noisy and disruptive. However, if you shut it off, the room becomes extremely hot and uncomfortable.
negative:
Irritating Traffic Noise
If you're in a room that faces the freeway, you're likely to hear traffic noise all night long, as this hotel sits on a busy stretch of road. Guests say the constant noise feels almost unbearable. You should request a quieter, rear facing room, away from the freeway.
negative:
No Free Breakfast
Breakfast is not included in your room rate, unless you book a package deal that includes breakfast. Guests say the options aren't great, and the price expensive for what you get. You should try the Princetonian Diner, which is five minute south and offers a good breakfast.
