Stay for convenience, but don’t lower expectations

Can’t beat the convenience and the historic charm, but the lack of amenities surprised me from our stay last year. Mediocre front desk assistance, I don’t care attitude. Issues with parking pass, and couldn’t get out of the parking garage. The issue was resolved when I asked for a new programmed card.

Nassau Inn

This is a classic and historical place. Albert Einstein ate lunch in the tavern but also had meetings with Oppenheimer upstairs about the creation of the A bomb. Right in the middle of town it gives you location to enjoy the Princeton community and the University. The history is amazing and the place goes back a long way. It has a Norman Rockwell original mural painted on the wall behind the bar. Really cool place to stay if you love history.

I just think the Nassau Inn needs to invest in updating. Their amenities are all adequate and were fine for my purposes, but a younger traveler would find their accomodations satisfactory…for 25 years ago.

Great Getaway in Princetom

Two-couple overnight getaway. Hotel was in a great location right in the heart of Princeton with walkable access to great restaurants and shops. Great service and pizza at Teresa's. Awesome time hanging with the bartenders at Mediterra where we had exceptional seafood crudo and tartar

The hotel was excellent, would love to have been there longer. The room service was ok - we didn't get enough silverware nor napkins even though we expressed that there were two people staying in the room (two sets of silverware, etc.). This happened twice, and half my breakfast was forgotten as well and they had to come back.

The property is ideally located in the heart of downtown Princeton which makes it perfect for getting to campus and all the restaurants. The property itself is dated, the rooms are small, the elevators even smaller, and there are few amenities inside the room. You stay at this place for the location only, which could not be better if you want to be at the center of everything and don't have a car.

Just fine for our needs

We stayed just one night, familiar with this hotel over many years. Room was fine, whole place is a bit long in the tooth and in our room there were some places where refurbishments were not quite complete, but caused us no issues. Location was main thing for us plus the nostalgia of being there now and then over many years.
