Stay away from this hotel
The sheer shade and blackout drapery control keys are hidden behind the nightstand lamp in black without alert sign on the stand or desk. No reasonable people would notice and in the morning the sunshine goes into the pillow made the sleep miserable.
No soap dish, empty shampoo bottle.
Very inconsiderate inhuman treatment and services. The front counter was careless and totally disregard the guests’ needs. The valet parking is a joke, no services to speak of and compare the parking across street it becomes a ripoff. A total miserable experience, NO RECOMMENDATION AT ALL.

The location is great. Walking distance to cafes / restaurants & Princeton.
Don’t expect any service at the hotel. From the valet to the front desk check in & to housekeeping. Unfriendly staff.

The decor at Graduate Princeton was interesting and attractive. I loved the book lined walls in the lobby. TJ was an outstanding waitress.
Negatives: The piped in music was way too loud mid day. It was virtually impossible to hang out and have a conversation. The lighting in the room was hyper dim. The bathroom lighting was charming but not great for applying makeup.

Charming hotel, incredible hospitality
The hotel is just like the pictures: incredible! But what stood out the most for me was the service. Everyone was incredibly friendly, kind, professional, willing to help, and went out of their way to make me feel welcome as a guest. The location is excellent and, as I said, the hotel is super nice, but the people who work there are what makes it truly special.
