Good location but needs some attention

Staff was great. Location was great. But my sheets were not clean. It smelled of fish. Front desk was able to provide a new set of sheets but it was late so I had to change them. The mattress was not comfortable. It felt worn and old.

It looks nice, room smelled great, good quality products, but WIFI would not connect, poor cleaning service, AND they advertised the shuttle covered 5miles of distance and it didn't. They said it does not go to Princeton University even though the university was with 5 miles ( they didn't included this exemption on their ads), which was the main reason I booked this hotel over a couple others.

No hot water in the hotel (not just our room) for a whole evening (5/26/2025) through the next morning of checking out (5/27/2025). They knew but did not seem to care enough to fix it or make it right. Could have been a convenient yet peaceful stay otherwise.
