Quaint and Perfectly Located

GREAT LOCATION in the heart of Princeton. It is quaint, very clean and dated. But you almost feel that it is dated by design. If quaint is your thing, then you will love it. I would stay again.

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

We stumbled across the Nassau Inn at the last minute, and are glad we stayed there. Great location and parking pass was much appreciated. Room was large and clean. Hotel is a bit dated, but very nice stay regardless. Restaurants are walking distance and safe srea.
