-- Hampton Inn Princeton…read more I'm going to be direct: in this market, hotels don't get to lean on "times are tough" while delivering substandard experiences. If anything, this is when you step it up. That's why this stay lands at 2 stars. Yes, I had a place to sleep--but the basics weren't there. The room felt neglected. There was visible mildew on the showerhead and along the baseboards in the shower. The water pressure was weak, and getting the water hot enough to feel clean took way too much effort. There was dust--caked dust--on fixtures like the alarm unit. The ironing board had dried red residue on the cover that would absolutely transfer onto clothes if used. Amenities were inconsistent at best. I had one towel, no washcloths, and four packets of makeup remover wipes (which felt random given everything else missing). The tissue box had the classic "two tissues fluffed up on top" trick, but nothing underneath. The Keurig was there... with no coffee. The mini fridge was leaking onto the floor. Even the AC had heavy condensation, which just added to the sense that maintenance isn't keeping up. Customer service didn't help the experience. Omar, who checked me in, wasn't rude, but it felt mechanical. I mentioned that my digital check-in didn't work, and instead of any acknowledgment or attempt to address it, it was straight to "ID and credit card." He smiled, but it felt more like habit than hospitality. What stood out more was him handling a guest dispute loudly in the lobby--essentially arguing through a payment issue on the phone in full earshot of everyone. It created an awkward, uncomfortable atmosphere. What's frustrating is that the property itself doesn't seem heavily trafficked, and the general ambiance is clean and quiet. But that makes the lack of room upkeep even harder to excuse. At this point, I'm done giving 3 stars to places that are just "okay." This wasn't okay--it was below standard, especially for a Hilton-branded property like Hampton Inn Princeton. Two stars feels accurate.

We stopped here due to it being close to my parents' house and wanted to stay somewhere to decompress from our long drive from FL prior to arriving in NYC. We arrived in the late evening but not super late. We had a lot of luggage to bring from the car so I started ahead with our dog and hubs grabbed a luggage cart and took the remainder to the rooms i was actually impressed with the room. I liked the layout and everything looked updated. We were starving so we decided to sit in the lobby, decide on food to get delivered, and purchase some wine and beer from the hotel market. They had a special on two bottles of wine for a very reasonable price so that's what we went with. The front desk employee was very kind, professional, and helpful. As we sat there, we were able to watch some television once done loud people left the area. I looked at the breakfast area and it was tiny. Since we ate late, we were not hungry in the morning for breakfast and skipped it. Everything seemed okay except there was a clump of hair in our toilet when we arrived in our room. Otherwise, the place looked clean. We really loved there was a Keurig machine in our room instead of those no name hotel crappy coffee machines.

However, we were in the front section of the original home and the road noise was pretty loud all night long and the feather mattresses weren't particularly comfortable. In the morning Lydia made us the most delicious breakfast. We had homemade yogurt, fresh fruit, homemade granola, toast, steel cut oats with honey butter, yummy homemade jams, delicious coffee, and a variety of fresh juices.

During a very difficult time for my family, as we traveled to New Jersey for a bereavement two weeks ago, Lori went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and stress-free.

I'd also like to recognize the general manager and the wonderful staff for their outstanding hospitality. Everyone made us feel welcome and genuinely cared for. Although this was our last trip to the Northeast to say goodbye to my final remaining relative there, we'll definitely return to this hotel in the future just for pleasure. Lori turned what began as a heartbreaking experience into one that was filled with comfort and genuine kindness. Thank you again for everything.

This is my second stay in this hotel in 2 years. Even though it was 45 minutes from the event I was…read moreattending. I chose this hotel based on my last stay, the good price for two nights as a Hyatt member, and the fact that it's located in a shopping area that has restaurants and Starbucks, etc., as well as shopping within walking distance. There's also a nice sidewalk surrounding the whole area and you can take a walk in the morning. I was surprised that the last two recent reviews of this hotel were so bad because the impression those reviews gave while those people might have had a bad experience really does not describe the hotel in my opinion. It is true that this property is a little bit older so there definitely are some things in the rooms that could use spruced up. However, the rooms are large and suite sized. My AC worked fine. there is plenty of counter space & the sink & counter area are outside of the space where the shower and toilet are located. The toilet flushed fine. Shower was hot & large (walk in flat with no tub). Plenty of towels. The TV is a smart TV so you can stream. I did not & just watched HBO & regular cable. There is a bar area with a fridge & small sink & counter space for foods/beverages . Ice is only on floors 3 & 5 though. I was on 4. A desk & chair. A large couch seating area with ottoman on wheels. My room was away from elevator & quiet. It is true from the other reviews that there is only one elevator because the other elevator is broken. So the elevator can be slow and busy times and I therefore took the stairs because the hotel only has five floor floors. I realize that that's not possible if you are physically unable to do that. The lobby is nice and what I appreciated is that they had a large carafe of lemon water and a large carafe of orange water that they refilled daily. There was always someone cleaning the lobby floors as well. It was spotless. There are grab & go snacks. I did not partake of the breakfast food area so I can't comment on that. Parking is free & easy. Desk staff were friendly upon my check in. I checked out easily on app. I had also requested an early check-in and that was accommodated. I would stay again. I recommend Tommy's Tavern + Tap next door with large menu & good happy hour specials. Bonus-Wegman's supermarket is 5 min down the road.

Also because the place is so small we got sat in these gorgeous huge reader chairs and this tini-tiny coffee table as our table for dinner. This created a super annoying balance as our food and drinks arrived. Because it was our anniversary we were making the best of it. We got delicious cocktails that had guava and made to perfection. Then we got the crab and lobster dip that was good, but not great. It was a small portion, but it brought the most delicious overseasoned old bay chips. I just wish the dip wasn't encrusted into it's tiny bowl with cheese so you could taste the crab a bit more. Thankfully the main course more than made up for the dip! We ordered the porcini encrusted chicken that came with mushrooms and asparagus. Holy moly this might be the best chicken I haven't ever eaten in my life. The gravy, the mushrooms, the tenderness of the chicken was truly magical. I wish they would give you at least some small potatoes or a little bit of mash for $24, but no. Overall the experience was good, the server rarely came to our table so we never got to order a second drink before our dinner even finished. And thankfully nothing fell off the tiny table the entire meal!

I paid extra for a Pure room. Not sure that did anything helpful. There was a large hole in large windows which allowed for freezing air to constantly draft the room, making it tricky to get the thermostat to a comfortable temperature. I brought our Alexa for white noise, yet still it was difficult to sleep, you can hear everything going on in the hallways. The next morning someone opened our door while I was in the shower, my daughter had to tell them we were still there, they didn't knock or anything. It was only 9am and check out is 12pm. I ordered room service and was shocked to see a $30 service charge on top of a delivery fee AND tip. I was more shocked that after spending over $200 for our dinner that our food arrived in cardboard boxes and to go containers. Most places I go the room service is served on plates with a cloche (domed metal covering to keep the food warm) and wheeled in on a cart. I was handed a paper bag with cardboard and to go containers. We weren't even given plates, my daughter ordered a steak served in a box. How do you cut a steak in a box. So after paying a $30 service charge, plus delivery fee, plus tip I still had to go downstairs to ask for plates while our food got cold. The food also was not that good, so for the price, had I known, I would have gone to one of the local restaurants and brought food back, there's a Ruth's Chris within walking distance. The Market is decent but expensive. The premade sandwiches are VERY dry. I would not recommend. The pool was nice to have, but could use a good cleaning and to be heated a bit more. It connects to the outdoor pool whoch is closed but there still is a draft, and a gap that a towel is somehow wedged between soaking wet to prevent a draft? Breakfast was interesting, the servers was wonderful, however the eggs benedict was odd. The eggs were overcooked and instead of what I normally see as a thin slice of Canadian Bacon, it was 2 huge slabs of ham. The gym was adequate, but overall the hotel could use updating and the food was disappointing, especially since we do enjoy room service when staying at a hotel.

The "bad" for me was that the beds weren't that comfortable and because it was 3 of us, sharing a double made it even less comfortable. Part of it is totally my fault (or my parents). I'm 6'4" 270 (ok, I take full responsibility for the 270) but I was hanging off the bed. My height played a negative part in the fitness center. I couldn't use it. I was too tall.

Beyond that, some tips: - bring your own lighting, the bathroom lights are inadequate - bring earplugs. Something in the ceiling (plumbing) loudly goes ker-chunk on the regular. - bring eye masks.

Even if you crawl around on the old carpet and try to swap your things in, the bedside furniture leaves little room for large plugs. The hotel business is tough, I'm sure. But this will need a major renovation. The area in downtown Princeton is basically a crowded high-end shopping mall of international brands. Lots of loud wedding parties the weekend we were here.

Gave us the room FURTHEST from the elevators, in the rear of the building. I literally had to walk a city block to get to my room. That is not a joke or exaggeration. I told the front desk that I have sciatica and could they please move me because walking is painful for me. Nope. By the way, the view from my room faces the dumpsters below, and the back of an ugly neighboring building. There are no fridges or microwaves in the rooms. If you want one, it's $15 each per night. No, I'm not kidding. This is a $350 per night hotel. Even Motel 6 has fridges and microwaves. Just wow. The staff with only a couple exceptions are curt and rude. The black boss lady was very nice. She was the best part of the stay. There are no blackout blinds. The sun wakes you up at 6:30 AM. If you manage to sleep through that, the trash truck arrives daily to empty the dumpsters and operate the trash compactor at 7:00 AM. EVERY DAY. Impossible to sleep through. The air conditioners are noisy and the fan shuts off when the cooling isn't running--- with a loud THUD. Woke me up every 5 minutes. There is no switch to tell the fan to keep running all the time which I cannot STAND. So you're sleeping and it's 100% quiet, then all the sudden VROOOMMMMM it comes on... but the best part is when it goes off it sounds like someone dropped a stack of plates. HORRIBLE. Every. Five. minutes. But here's the real killer... We were finished our work a day early, so of course we wanted to check out a day early. $75 charge to leave a day early!! Can you even?? I thought Mr. X was going to have a fantod. It's evidently documented that there is a resident ghost that roams the hallways pushing people down staircases and knocking on doors in the middle of the night. Look it up.
