    Visited this Hyatt for an event organized by USTA in one of their ball rooms. The parking lot if huge and they have a friendly reception. They do have a lot of food options within the hotel. The ballrooms are maintained very well. The ambiance of the hotel is very pleasing and sees a lot of guests enjoying the atrium.

    Stopped here for a meeting. Definitely built for trade shows or conferences, they had a lot of Princeton Tiger paraphernalia around, and the unassuming outside was the lowest height Hyatt I'd seen in a while... until I walked in. The center atrium with open layout, many stairs and seating areas, charging zones and more with a restaurant on the lower level was quite a great design... I was thinking in my head it'd be great for a paintball/lazertag center, but it was quite refreshing. Pool off to the side, back area had more green space and rooms faced inside and outside for some light. While the restaurant menu wasn't as good as the one I'd had in Boston, it cost about as much. Person staying there who we were meeting said the rooms were comfortable and clean, modern contemporary and simple. Wifi for Hyatt members or people staying can request the link. A small breakfast counter for coffee, etc. on the main floor near the check-in.

    I liked this hotel! Impressive lobby with a very beautiful restaurant and the bar in the middle with the waterfalls and fish pound. Working area in a lobby is nice. The room is big and clean, very calm. Huge swimming pool. Good Breakfast s $27 for buffet and it was ok, however, coffee is not included... Air condition is old, so make sure you keep it on less then 69 degrees. I stayed for one night and checkout is at 12 PM. However, room service checked if I'm still there for a couple of times after 10am even I still had 2 hours. This was confusing and disturbing. Why to do that is guest didn't checkout? Also, they didn't send me a receipt even after 24 hours after check out.

    There was a sorta creepy old guy but everything else was nice and the food was good .

    Stayed here for a quick weekend getaway trip and glad that we chose this hotel. Quiet area, has a huge parking lot right by the hotel and very close to the Princeton area that has great restaurant and brunch spots. Hotel was clean, cute sitting areas and friendly staff.

    Very beat wooden shelf instead of a vanity.

    First off, we had difficulty locating the place on a stormy night due to poor signage on the main road. This hotel looks straight out of the '70s like an airport, and was virtually empty for a Sunday night stay. It was empty on a Monday morning too. Appears to be built for the days of trade shows and conferences, which are now zoom meetings. We were checked into room 411 by a very cold staff at the desk. Our room had to be the barest they had to offer for an empty hotel and did not even include a vanity around the sink or lights above the mirror! There was a small very beat-up black wooden shelving unit in the bathroom to put our items. It appeared to be a half-baked handicap room, as there were no bars for the bath/shower or toilet. The only redeeming features were an 80" tv with lots of channels, a very comfortable bed, and the HVAC actually worked fine. The room was clean. Very dated carpet looked like a huge spider web. We had breakfast in the atrium restaurant, 3 flights down from the lobby. We were seated immediately and our server was excellent. Very few items on the menu were expensive. My tiny 2-egg bacon omelette came with roasted potatoes and ONE slice of rye for $21. With coffee and tip, breakfast for two was over $60! I traveled a lot before retiring and stayed at many Hyatt Regencys over the years. They are now a shell of what they were then. The negative reviews of most of the HR's reflect this.

    Our overall stay was OK. It is a decent hotel. The bed was comfortable. The pool was our best part of the stay, which would be the primary reason if was to stay again. As far as the suite we had (room #134/130), it was $500 a night, which I don't think it was updated enough for that amount. The suite was very dark, giving it a dingy vibe. The bathrooms only had a updated vanity, then just a regular hotel room tub with usage stains and the bedroom bathroom had a extremely loose toilet seat. There was no glass or fancy shower at all. The bedroom tv remote didn't work, so we had to use the living room remote for both TVs. A few bulbs were out during our stay, all the appliances in the kitchen area was old. The microwave handle was being held on with tape. The refrigerator was a different color then the other appliances and was very small, it couldn't even fit a full aluminum pan in it. We called down twice for extra blankets for guests, but never received them although was told someone would bring them. The space of the suite is nice, and which is the reason we booked it for thanksgiving dinner but I was expecting a bit more upgrades for $500 a night.

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.

    -- 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.

It was fairly easy to find & it is located next to a mall type area so there are lots of restaurants and a Starbucks next-door that you can walk to. I do like the layout of the Hyatt place rooms.

So there is a couch and kind of a hot and coffee table thing where you can sit and watch TV and then there's a half wall that sort of divides the bed from the living room area. You can angle the TV to look at the sofa or look at the bed. In the corner when you first enter, there is a desk and then there is also an actual sink in the room and a refrigerator. Unfortunately, my refrigerator did not work. It wasn't that big a deal so I did not complain because I did not have time to switch rooms. I told the desk at check out.

I paid extra for a Pure room. Not sure that did anything helpful.

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.

I have been to the Nassau Inn previously, but never on the second level where this event was held. The second level has its own bar, and seating both inside of the dining rooms as well as near the bar in the form of chairs and couches. There is also access to an outdoor patio, with more seating, and views of the surrounding areas to take in. Very much enjoyed getting to hang out in this space, and use both the indoor and outdoor areas. The banquet room was set up well - it was not too crowded and felt like there was plenty of room to not sit and socialize. The buffet line was set up in its own room, which helped with the spacing of it all. I enjoyed the food served at the event. The buffet was accessible from both sides, so the line moved quickly. All of the items were good, but I enjoyed the salmon especially. This event sold drink tickets, and those could be redeemed at the bar right outside of the banquet rooms. The bartender was friendly and receptive to any requests. She was the only one, but there was never a long line. We were able to play some media during the event on a projector, and use the equipment on the premise. It all worked well and we had no issue. I am not sure if it is just because it was graduation weekend, or if the pricing is always the same, but it is somewhat pricy to host a banquet at this spot. It was nice, especially for a celebration such as graduation, but definitely a once-in-a-while event for most average folks as opposed to a regular spot. Enjoyed getting to enjoy a new area of the historic place in Princeton on this visit! I would recommend it if you are looking for an event space in the Princeton area! NOTE: This is an overall note of this area of Princeton, but parking is somewhat hard to come by.
