This was likely my favorite hotel of all the ones I stayed during my trip to New Jersey and Massachusetts over Spring Break. I attended a convention at Princeton and was offered a shuttle ride each day. They have a decent breakfast and their hotel is very clean. I'm not a fan of the winding corridors or the fact that the location is confusing to find, but the peaceful sleep as a result of the secluded nature of the location is worth that once you find it. GPS took me to the Crowne Plaza, so be mindful of looking at the signage. The staff was very helpful with locating my bag of laundry I accidentally left in my room during checkout, and they had it ready for me to pick up with my name on the bag.
Breakfast roomis downstairs from the lobby.
