We stayed at the Nassau Inn for two nights and it was a terrible experience. For context, my partner and I are both first responders in our early 20s—respectful, clean, and responsible. Despite that, we were treated like children from the start. They refused to let us use our own credit card without “parental permission,” even though we are adults and it was our card. The staff’s attitude was dismissive and condescending, as if our age meant we didn’t belong there. The first room we were given was shocking. It looked nothing like the pictures online. The sheets had hair all over them, the floor was dirty (even under the furniture), and the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned. The entire space was cramped and run down. Only after we complained were we moved to another room—which they insisted was “not an upgrade.” Funny enough, this second room actually looked like the one advertised online. It was cleaner overall, though the sink was cracked, but at least the phone worked. It left us wondering if we were first given a subpar room because of our age. Even after switching rooms, the staff remained hostile. Every time we passed the front desk, they glared at us. We weren’t the only ones either—another guest showed us his room where black dust and mold blew out of the AC, the towels were filthy, and the tub was clogged with hair. When he asked for a different room, staff threatened to call security on him instead of fixing the problem. Between the poor cleanliness, run-down rooms, an

We loved this place! Close to different restaurants and shopping. Loved walking around and staff were very friendly and professional. Only thing we didn’t appreciate was the sun coming into the room as early as 6am because the blackout “blind/curtain” was not brig enough for the window. We were forced to be up by 7am. Everything else was great.. we loved it! The receptionist who checked us in was b nice and pleasant to us. Highly recommended

I booked for 4 adults on a slow summer weekday night. And the best room they gave us had one window with no view, no sitting area, 3 set of towels, 1 tiny set of hair products. Front desk lady might as well be a bot - no personality. As first time visitors, she could have explained restauarant offerings/hours, wifi, map of area, gym, business room. Instead when I asked her these questions, it felt like I was bothering her...

The Nassau Inn in Princeton, offers a welcoming stay with a touch of local charm: - Upon arrival, the front desk staff greeted us with a delightful chocolate cookie, setting a warm tone. - We booked two rooms, and the front desk staff knew our bookings and kindly placed our rooms next to each other. We are so thankful for their help! - They provided clear instructions for parking, which is a convenient perk—using a Nassau Inn card key, you can park in any nearby garage (like Hulfish just 100 ft away or Chambers Street) with a flat $20 nightly fee billed to your room. We started at Hulfish Garage but switched to Chambers Street Garage for its proximity to the Princeton campus tour meet point at the Admission Information Center, 36 University Place, Princeton, NJ 08540. - The hotel has undergone a renovation, featuring modern decor that feels fresh yet cozy. The lobby, though smaller than those in some contemporary hotels, adds to its intimate appeal. - For a quick salad, the front desk directed us to Olives, easily reachable via a shortcut alley to Witherspoon Street, then a right turn. Olives impressed with its bakery, cold pasta salad, Greek salad, and variety of fruits—perfect for a light meal. - The hotel’s location is a major plus, being steps away from numerous eateries, making it an excellent base for exploring Princeton.

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.
