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.

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.

I love the Nassau for its location and historic charm, but my recent visit was not up to standard. The hotel room was so noisy - I was away from the elevators at least but had constant noise from neighboring rooms and doors shutting. I also had an issue with black gunk coming up through the sink twice during my stay.
