Nassau Inn Review

Nice rooms with upgraded amenities. Staff were very nice. Breakfast was great!

Yankee Doodle bar has a nice fireplace and a warm, welcoming setting.

Really cool place. Has a table that Einstein carved his name into and a lot of photos of famous Princeton alums on the wall.

This is my second visit. The first one was a few years ago.

The room was cold and dry, and I could not adjust the heat to have warm air come out. So I just turned off the air, which was preferable to having cold air blowing on me all night.

The quilt was practically paper thin, and not very warm.

The front desk did offer to have somebody come by with a thicker quilt and have the engineer look at the heat, etc., but it was 3:30 in the morning by the time I got to sleep and I didn't really feel like sitting up and waiting for people to come by at that point. Why not just have a comfortable quilt on the bed to start with, like at every other hotel I've ever stayed at?

Except for the bathroom, there was only one power outlet in the room, in the lamp by the desk. There was no power outlet by the bed, for my iPhone. The hotel front desk suggested there might be another outlet behind the bed somewhere, but I wasn't about to crawl around under the bed or try to move the bed to find it.

Complementary Internet was 1.5 Mb per second. If you wanted higher speed Internet they wanted an extra $13.95 per night which strikes me as extraordinarily stingy of them considering that the room was $274 a night. I would have just forgone the Wi-Fi if there was decent cell reception in the room, but there wasn't.

There was no mini fridge in the room to keep water cold.

The room could've been cleaner. I found accumulated dust hanging on the walls in some corners.

The bed and pillows were comfortable enough, and the staff were reasonably polite (if distant) but after checking out in the morning I don't think I will stay here a third time.

Nice hotel in the center of town. Excellent staff.

Nice place to stay in downtown princeton, expensive, but nice. It is surrounded by bars and restaurants.

Decent hotel but check in staff said they could not give us an adjoining room with my children because, they were spacing rooms because of COVID (understandable) but then we had noisy strangers in the adjoining room anyway. Not cool to use the pandemic as an excuse for their laziness.

Paper thin walls - while the overall appearance of the hotel is very nice the actual rooms leave much to be desired. Smaller than a hotel room in NYC, also hope you don't get someone who likes to watch TV next to you or you will be forced to listen to it literally all night.

Cozy place with spectacular good and wonderful drinks

Visited Yankee Tavern for breakfast. Had the granola yogurt fruit dish - it was delicious.

Good hotel. Very well located. Near the university and the main attractions of the city.

Great pub atmosphere. Good food. Good service. Would reccomend. Try the pot roast.

Great location. Rooms vary... Suites are wonderful but smaller rooms aren't worth the price. Staff is excellent

If you're looking to stay IN Princeton, you don't have any other choice... but if you can, go somewhere else. This place is dated, expensive, and service is mediocre at best. The only thing they have going for themselves is the location.

Very convenient in the middle of downtown Princeton. There is no refrigerator in the room, and the parking lot is a parking lot in the neighborhood where we have partnered.

A great hotel which you did not expect. Old English style in the middle of America, wow !! We felt very comfortable and the staff was great. Many Thanks!!

Went to the taphouse restaurant. Great interior, lot's of dark wood with a very colonial feel. The menu options sounded interesting but the flavors we're dull.

Very classy place for a wedding. Good service and good food.

Great room. Beautiful lobby. Parking isn't the best, and the place is pretty expensive with a bunch of hidden fees.

The coolest hotel. Great service. Awesome location.

very nice hotel located in princeton Nassau Palmer square.

The restaurant/bar is super cozy. With great food and good drinks.

Very nice inside and outside, the service was excellent. Only downside was price.

Clean and great environment to hang out and talk with frienda

The location it's the best you can get, the rooms are old, the breakfast terrible and the service even worse

My husband and I had the pleasure of a 2 night stay at the Inn and it was a great experience. The location is perfect...close to everything! Everyone was on point and even when we got back from a very long day of Black Friday shopping and the key wouldn't open our room...the front desk was quick to send an engineer to help. Turns out we were keeping the card in the slot too long...I guess we weren't thinking clearly after all the shopping lol. The room was very pretty but more importantly...the bed was soooo comfy and the room was very clean! The Inn has a lot of charm and the staff was very pleasant, I would definitely stay again and highly recommend as a place to stay in Princeton.

Sat on the patio for drinks, great service, great atmosphere.

I had a wedding here with my business and manager and service was very nice thank you . I recommend this place

Had dinner at the tap room downstairs. The food was delicious, meet it's description of a gastropub. The tap were mostly ipas and the cocktails were standards with a twist, like martini, mojito, mule with various fruity flavors. The atmosphere was scholarly but could get a little loud for conversation.

Pricey but well appointed. Centrally located in a quaint little twin with all the conveniences. Amenities are sparse.

A hole in the wall restaurant and bar nestled in the Nassau Inn. The food was good but the service, despite a nearly dead restaurant, was atrocious. We arrived after the dinner hour and were seated quickly. Our server took awhile to stop by for our drink order and then we waited about 15 minutes for him to return.

We ordered dinner and began chatting. Our dinner (a steak and a rack of ribs) arrived approximately 45 minutes later with the explanation that the kitchen was backed up. If it takes this long on a slow night I'd hate to see the wait for a capacity crowd.

We were left to our meals and the waiter only returned when we were done. We asked for the check, waited another 10 minutes, then waited another 10 minutes to pay and another 10 minutes for him to return our credit card.

I will return to see if this was a one off occurrence, but consider yourself warned...

Great location good size rooms don't drink the coffee in lobby

Went to the restaurant Yankee Doodle only, very old, very good.

Was briefly at the adjacent tap room. Busy night but everyone was friendly.

Great location in the centre of Princeton and great friendly staff

Very quaint but tiny room. Paid internet access seems wrong for this day and age. Reminded me of living in Europe.

Location is great, right in the center of Princeton. However, the room facility is dated, and crazy amount of machine noise is being generated from within the wall in my room. I could sleep better if I was on an airplane with the jet engine. And btw: the water is leaking from the ceiling and dripping to the floor, though not direct onto the bad...

Great small hotel in the middle of Princeton, close to everything, great staff, awesome bar

Best Hotel In Primceton, we stay there every year and never fails!!

In the heart of Princeton, Nassau Inn offers delectable dining in the Yankee Doodle Tap Room. The adjacent Lindt choclatiers carry a wide variety of confectionery sure to please any chocoholic. Afterwards, one can peruse the many shops in the surrounding Palmer Square.

Beautiful hotel, lovely area, above and beyond what was expected

Very good, clean and nice staff, lovely very good price

The only thing going for the hotel is the location!
Very noisy rooms
No double glazing
Beat avoid if you want a restful night sleep
Checked out early and reception confirmed this is a very regular complaint

The Nassau Inn is in a great location for visiting the city of Princeton and Princeton University. It's a nice but old building with character. I would highly recommend staying here.

Location is fantastic. Walls are very thin, and its quite expensive, however.

Breakfast meeting. Good food, quiet and comfortable.

I was at the hotel for meeting up with a friend. I had limited interactions with the staff but the front desk was friendly and helpful.

We hit the pub for lunch and a few drinks with a large group. We also wanted to see the TV. We were told we would not have service if we sat by the bar. That is crazy. There were very few customers at the time, and the staff was just standing around, but I had to go to the bar so we could serve ourselves. Crappy customer service.

That said, Loren, the bartender did everything she could to make it work. We ended up not getting lunch there, opting for a few beers and apps. We went elsewhere for lunch.

I don't see myself returning here.

Great food and history, a little pricey, but well worth it.

Great food the whole family loved it. A little pricey for the environment.

I went to the Yankee Doodle Taproom for pre dinner drinks. The bartender was friendly and there just happened to be a beer vendor thete so the atmosphere was extra lively. The drinks were rung up the wrong price but the bartender corrected it immediately.

In the center of downtown Princeton, this historic hotel is well within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The rooms are a little small for typical hotel standards, but they are clean and nice.

I had a customer service issue with the housekeeping staff which the manager, Nick, resolved 100% to my satisfaction. I felt respected and cared for through all interactions with his team. He must be doing something right in his management approach, which pays off in the whole customer service experience.

Didn't require much service. The building is beautiful.

Beautiful, lovely town. Quiet but many stores within walking distance. Great restaurant/bar called the Alchemist and Barrister.

Great atmosphere, very good selection of draft beers, good (not great, though) bar food.Calamari were so-so, and the burger patty needed some salt. The service was very good, no issues here. Will definitely come again.

Historic location in Palmer Square Princeton NJ.
Street and parking garages available. Eclectic mix of shops, stores, restaurants and things to do in the town center. Site for events large and small. Classic American decor and ambience. The Yankee Doodle Taproom located in the cellar/basement is a large but cozy area. Pub food with some entrees. Prices are consistent with other restaurants in town but a pricey for what you get.

Basic selection of craft beers from the national and regional brewers.

My burger was a mix of quality cuts of meat, could've been seasoned a bit more. The French Onion Soup was good.

Service was fine, will return but not make it a destination trip.

Beautiful hotel and friendly staff. This was the perfect hotel for a weekend getaway with my husband and son. The only part that wasn't enjoyable was the hotel restaurant. The food was terrible and expensive. There's a nice tavern across the street I the alleyway called the Alchemist we had a wonderful dinner with drinks and it was almost half the cost.

When you book though, check the online rates first. My husband called the reservation number and got lady on the phone that quoted us over $100 more than the rate that was online. When he said he saw the cheaper rate online she dropped it only $40. I guess she thought this wasn't 2019...lol. We just booked on their website instead.

In front of Princeton University. It is opposite to the post office. A nice hotel with a classic feel. As we can go from Manhattan in about 1 hour by AmTrak, we recommend that you extend your legs and stay only one night when traveling to NY.

Went to a wedding reception held there, was very pleasant. The food was good and the atmosphere was quant and comfortable. The porch section during the cocktail hour was prime in the beautiful fall weather

Beautiful place. We had my friend's bridal shower. Very romantic!! Food was great!!

Great location in the middle of everything in Princeton. Hotel was nice and really enjoyed the historial aspect to it. Friendly helpful staff as well.

Right in the heart of Princton great service and location

Drinks at Yankee Doodle Tap Room. Nice place, good beer selection. Food looks good, but did not order anything.

A very nice restaurant at Nassau inn in a unique location by Princeton University.

Food was excellent. The prawn crostini starter was impeccable and was large enough as a main dish. Service was attentive and kind.

Great place - has a bunch of famous people on the wall Michelle Obama, Ross perit and many many others - original Yankee Doodle painting on wall pretty unique !

I attended a wedding here and spent the night. Very friendly staff and a cute hotel in a great location. Absolutly recommend.
