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.

Charming Inn Close To Town

The charming inn offers small but comfortable rooms, a great bar where a basic continental breakfast is served, and a restaurant. We held a Sunday brunch there for 12 people. Unfortunately the service was exceedingly slow, but the food good. The dining rooms are very pleasant.

We had a very nice time as we always do, if we had to make any constructive comments they would revolve around size of room in comparison to the price. For almost $500 per night, there are very few places to place things in the room or bathroom for that matter - It would also be nice to have a coffee maker in the room for early morning offering - besides the back of the toilet, there is no place to put anything in the bathroom and toilet paper dispenser is basically installed on the floor? Obviously first world problems but room 205 at least is pretty small for a premium price

Our room was spacious and well appointed, the staff were friendly and very accommodating, and the location was terrific. Beautiful and quaint Princeton, NJ's shopping and restaurants are only a short walk away, but the street it is on is quiet and tranquil. We had planned to have dinner at the restaurant the last night of our stay, but we had to leave early so we can't rate the food and service, but the atmosphere is perfect for a romantic night out. One small issue we had was that the room key cards frequently stopped working and we had to keep getting them replaced. Apart from that, the hotel is an old Victorian manor that has no elevator, and all of the rooms are one or more flights up. This is likely fine for most, but should be considered if one has mobility issues.
