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.
