Rooms were clean and staff courteous. I love the Dove products provided. My only complaint is that they did not replenish the body lotion- even after asking the room attendant twice and the front desk twice.

Excellent location with easy access to Princeton University and restaurants. The 24-hour access to the freshly brewed coffee and hot water is a wonderful surprise.
