I've stayed in Courtyard hotels across the country and they are generally a fairly solid choice. This one was OK, but I've definitely seen better. The lobby seemed updated, but the guest rooms were a little past their prime. The bed was not particularly comfortable and the shower seemed to be falling out of the wall. One strength of this hotel was the staff - very friendly and service oriented. Anyone who has read my hotel reviews know that hotel gyms are a big deal to me. this one was substandard on many levels. While they had decent cardio equipment, it was clear that it has not been well maintained. Their were no mats for floor work, and the floor surface was not comfortable for that type of activity. The towels were not well stocked on either day I used the gym. The dumbbell selection was weird - there were a couple that were below 10 pounds, which were too gross to touch. From there, it skipped up to 25s and 40s and that's it. This is an area I travel to fairly frequently, so I think I'll be continuing my search for the best spot to stay.
The hotel is very clean, breakfast is available, there is free parking and parking is convenient. Twin room, suitable for children, no extra bed, go to Princeton University to drive, but not far, the Lanzhou ramen noodles in the town, tastes great.
This has been our go-to in the Princeton area for a few years. Location can’t be beat. Breakfast is excellent and Dolores is the best at making you feel welcome during breakfast and keeping things tidy, clean, and seeing to guests concerns at breakfast - she really is the reason we’ve come back - unfortunately since Covid, the hotel has been slipping and I’m honestly sad as these issues just need attention from management. Our last 2 stays, it is clear that rooms are not being properly cleaned - I suspect that housekeeping staff has been reduced and is overwhelmed. Our room kitchenette floor was so sticky, each time we walked our across our feet would stick. The dishes/silverware dirty and strewn in drawer. The kitchen sink garbage disposal was missing the flaps and we could see gross decaying food. The tub drain had apparently been cleared but they never put back the cap and just left it on the edge of the tub. The pillows had such a foul odor (think like boys locker room after football practice - that used entire bottle amount of Febreeze to make bearable). A quick walkthrough of rooms by supervisor would ensure a much more pleasant environment for a guest on arrival—Housekeeping may be understaffed. Sadly we are not going back; for our next stay we will be booking elsewhere. Luckily there are plentiful options in the Princeton area.

It's a 10-minute drive from the school. The room is clean. When I wake up in the morning, there is a large green space outside the window. The hotel includes breakfast, but unlike an Inn, there is service, but no tip is required. Several people eating there were young people and their families visiting the school, including a group of Indians.
This trip is fabulous since we stay at the best hotel we ever stay in New Jersey! Marriott Forrestal with stunning view! Staffs are kind, helpful, professional, very informative. Raj is the one want to address first. He works at breakfast lounge, sometimes at Ivy Iron Bar. He is very helpful , informative and show us many beautiful places around the area to visit since this is our first time here. He also very kind, helpful is such a way that helps us around to accomodate our needs. He goes beyond his mile and offered us sunny-side up with grilled potatoes sometimes when we came late to breakfast room and the food on the table almost gone. He is also very kind and welcome us everyday with a smile and good spirit! Wenky is another staff who is also helpful and kind. We also met Michael Merino, who is the assistant General Manager in this hotel. Michael welcomes us with warm attitude and greet us pleasantly. Front desk name Michael he is also helping me with direction and even called the place we wanted to visit that day to see if we can walk in. The hotel has forest/woods connected to the lobby.. a very nice ambience to enjoy your day also night time. The food from the resto Ivy Iron are very tasty and delicious. Lobby is huge, parking is easy and big lot. Our suite is big, clean and very nice room! Overall, from the staffs and ambience this hotel is stunning! Another one is the lounge.. big and spacey to work there. Quiet. Breakfast is nice American menu and many choices. Water and Pepsi , coffee machine are available 24/7 at lounge. At the end, if we could give a thumb up to one of the staffs here at Marriott is Raj. He did extra mile for us to make our stay welcome and pleasant here! We are looking forward to coming back and staying here surely
Nice stay for 2 business nights in August. Convenient location with plenty of parking. Lobby was clean and bright. Front desk staff was friendly and engaging. Room was clean and fresh and didn't have any unusual smells. The breakfast was really good. My only issue was the AC in the room which didn't work effectively. After responding to the manager's check-in email someone came and attended to the AC, but it did not work any better. This is probably the best BonVoy property in the area.
The hotel is very very clean Mel at the front desk went above and beyond to help me and my family there is lots of parking breakfast was amazing beautiful little shop with all the essentials you need kids really enjoyed the pool very family friendly we will most definitely be returning highly recommend to everybody
We recently stayed at Princeton Hampton Inn for Reunions and Graduation and enjoyed it. The hotel is on Route 1 with many others and is a short drive to the University. The rooms are modern, spacious and clean. The quality of the breakfast was good. The staff were friendly and always helpful. If you have a car, this is a very good choice. For Reunions it also worked well as there are shuttles running to and from the University. We have stayed at many of the Princeton hotels and rate Hampton Inn as one of the best.
Superb, beautiful environment, convenient transportation, free parking. The room is two bedrooms and one living room plus kitchen. Can live 6 people. You can cook by yourself. Buying 40 knives of ingredients can be enough for four people to eat for two to three days. Much better than eating outside. Very close to the Hmart Korean supermarket. Supermarket ingredients are very good.
The hotel was so comfy and cozy. The area was quiet and I was able to work remotely with no interruptions. The front desk staff - Ty and Katheryn were exceptional and so very helpful. We ate at the restaurant most evenings. The evening host at the restaurant were so kind and attentive. Benny and Sabina were fantastic. I would recommend this hotel for your next stay in the Princeton area. BTW - the cookies were awesome!
