We're a big family so we bought a room at the cheapest hotel that included breakfast and had a pool. :) This hotel was absolutely GORGEOUS hotel! Was owned by Merrill Lynch previously and Big Pharma executives would arrive in the helipad. Hotel comes with heated Olympic-sized pool, indoor basketball court, indoor squash court, outdoor tennis court, pool tables, gourmet breakfast included. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, helpful and helped us navigate Princeton's campus the next day.

Due to the Christmas holiday, the hotel was very limited in providing house keeping services but they did do good job with the staff they had especially in the restaurant. They provided very good customer service even though they had limited options. The male restaurant manager/host did a very good job be it that he was the only server there for breakfast.

Hotel is pretty dated. Very quiet and not crowded at all despite a holiday weekend. Handicap parking is too far away from the entrance lobby as my wife is disabled. Room was clean and satisfactory for the price point. Toilet refilling after flush took 10 minutes and very loud. Our bed was old and squeaky causing discomfort both nights for us. Seems our room wasn’t used often as it is a handicap accessible and probably neglected by the staff. Restaurant was freezing cold both mornings as well as the buffet breakfast. We will look elsewhere for a hotel the next time we visit the area. We expected more from a Crowne Plaza hotel.
