The NASSAU Inn is a beautiful old property restored over the years. The location is wonderful, right in the center of Princeton and right across from the University. As with any older property there are some maintenance issues but nothing major. The restaurant is full of Princeton University memorabilia and has tables that were carved in hundreds of years ago. It’s comfortable and the food is pretty good. All in all, it’s a good place to stay for a visit to Princeton.

I love the Nassau for its location and historic charm, but my recent visit was not up to standard. The hotel room was so noisy - I was away from the elevators at least but had constant noise from neighboring rooms and doors shutting. I also had an issue with black gunk coming up through the sink twice during my stay.

Room was spacious and clean but felt like a generic chain motel. Sparsely furnished and cheap feeling. No robe, plastic cups and no fridge. Great location in the heart of town. Expected a more boutique type hotel for the price and historic building.

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.
