We stayed at the Homewood Suites Princeton for six weeks as a family with children, and we cannot recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The Staff: The service was exceptional. Every question or request was handled with patience and a smile. The team is incredibly welcoming and made our long stay very comfortable. The Facility: We knew the hotel was finishing up renovations, but we honestly didn't feel it at all. The management of the work was excellent – no noise or disruption. The hotel is very clean, meticulous, and has a pleasant atmosphere. Food: The breakfast was tasty and satisfying, and we noticed it getting richer and better throughout our stay. Location: This is a huge plus. It’s accessible and convenient: To Princeton: You can take a beautiful 30-minute walk along the river/canal path to the University area, or it's a quick 5-minute drive. Shopping: Major shopping centers are about a 10-minute drive in either direction. Transport: Very close to the train station.

Ok big standard hotel, a bit away from Princeton center, but with possibility of a nice 1h foot walk there through a beautiful landscape. The hotel is close to a forest and river (but also to a motorway). Nice train excursion from NYC, around 1.5h to Princeton, then a cheap Uber. We slept well. Room had a little kitchen. Easy TV remote, which is seldom nowadays.
