The Inn lived up to its reputation in every way. My only wish is that there could have been some sort of tour with anecdotes about some of the writers , politicians, and famous alumni that have stayed there.

Nice, older hotel that has been well-maintained. Location allows for easy walking around the Princeton campus. Parking in the local garage took several attempts to get the hotel-provided key card to work.

Location was perfect! Although parking was across the street, it worked out and wasn’t a huge issue. Will bring roll luggage next time! Otherwise, super comfy bed, nice room.

We loved the Nassau Inn and would definitely go back! Super walkable to restaurants, the campus, and an amazing plus in summer - the community pool! Their staff is excellent. One woman called ahead and tracked down the paperwork required for us to go to pool (Nassau Inn has an agreement with them, otherwise only open to residents) on the 4th. Such a relief on a 100 degree day with small kids!

As always, my stay at the Nassau Inn was excellent. From the friendliness at the reception desk, to the overall cleanliness, to a good night's sleep in comfortable bed in a quiet room where I felt safe, to the Nassau Inn's location in the heart of town, a mere walk to all the venues I wanted to visit. I am looking forward to my next visit to Princeton.
