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 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.

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.

This is a classic and historical place. Albert Einstein ate lunch in the tavern but also had meetings with Oppenheimer upstairs about the creation of the A bomb. Right in the middle of town it gives you location to enjoy the Princeton community and the University.
The history is amazing and the place goes back a long way. It has a Norman Rockwell original mural painted on the wall behind the bar. Really cool place to stay if you love history.

Room was spacious and clean but felt like a generic chain motel. Sparsely furnished and cheap feeling. No robe, plastic cups and no fridge. Great location in the heart of town. Expected a more boutique type hotel for the price and historic building.
