Our stay was beautiful. The area is safe and quiet, there are some local activities you can do (hiking or kayaking is a possibility). Princeton is not a metropolis, therefore don't expect to meet many people around. To visit the center of the town. The room was clean and full of optionals, including sofa, TV, desk, dish towels and soap. The only CON is about washing machines and dryers. There are many on the 3rd floor but require coins, and unfortunately the reception is not able to give you cashback from credit card. I went to a gas station nearby and I paid $3 fee per transaction. For the rest, there are nice restaurants nearby. The mexican restaurant next to is recommended

Not our first time here but every time we visit, there’s no complaints. From the breakfast to the service to the cleanliness. This place would be even more better if they had a pool but it’s fine. Definitely 5 stars.

Stayed recently for Princeton graduation. The facility is easily accessed from US 1. Rooms were well appointed, clean and comfortable, staff were friendly and accommodating. I have to deduct a star because of some odd design issues. The "accessible" main entrance is through a narrow door with no touchpad to open, so it is hardly accessible for anyone in a wheelchair or with limited mobility. The breakfast area is far too small for a hotel of this size, and the design of the food service area was very poor with narrow passages that had even small numbers of people awkwardly trying to maneuver around one another. It would be nice to have EV charging available onsite.

I was previously in another location of the same chain, and it had an automatic door in the entrance; this location didn't have it, and I thought the automatic open system was very convenient; other than that, it was as great as always. I will be back.

Great access to Princeton, very nice rooms (although it did not smell great when we first arrived and we had to open the windows for a while). Nevertheless, the rooms are very nice and well equipped and the location extremely convenient for both Rt. 1, Princeton access and access to MarketFair Mall (on foot).

The room was spacious yet cozy. The breakfast in the morning was very good. Lots of options to choose from. Will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Stay was amazing. The carpet in the room had a weird smell as if it wasn’t cleaned well. We weren’t able to connect our Firestick to the tvs which wasn’t too terrible since we were barely in the room but kind of a bummer when we were. Overall a good stay.

The staff were so friendly and the room and establishment were very clean. Decent options for breakfast, but the best part of the hotel are the full kitchens. This made our stay with little ones very convenient. The location is awesome with plenty of restaurants and stores within walking distance. Our only complaint is they didnt have a garbage chute or easy to dispose of trash.

I've stayed in a few hotels in this area and this is the better of the options. The rooms are great, large, and updated. Amenities are great, my only complaint is I wish the beds were a little better/softer. The hard spring mattress doesn't fit the rest of the room. Bathroom and shower is great, swivel TV is a great touch, and small kitchen is useful. Cold brew iced coffee at breakfast was a nice touch!

The breakfast is decent, not great The hotel suffers from one problem. If you have noisy neighbours you are going to hear them and probably with great clarity! If you have considerate, quiet neigbours, it's a good hotel.

It wasnt the largest suite ive stayed in but it was large enough to feel spacious and i love the way they worked with the space they had in the room. It was my second favorite room ive ever stayed in, second only to a large penthouse suite i ended up getting by chance at a different hotel. And the pillows were amazing. And they only charged a small fee for incidentals when every other hotel nowadays wants to charge hundreds, sometimes more than the cost of the room and then often dont give it back. I woke up and tried to book more nights but no surprise they are booked for several weeks. Definitely will stay here again someday.

Service was below expectations for a Marriott hotel. Even though a King size room with sofa bed was booked for 2 adults and 2 kids, there was no arrangement for the kids to sleep. When asked at the reception, I was advised to take the bed sheet and pillows and make it myself. This is not what you expect when you get to a Marriott hotel after a long drive.

I was mysteriously charged for a room I did not reserve, costing me an extra $260. When I contacted the hotel about it they explained that the reservation for my room and the extra room were made through Expedia so there was nothing they could do. I checked and indeed Expedia had charged me an extra room. Expedia's customer service is non-existent and it is impossible to get through to anyone. Even my friend who works for Expedia admits this. Nevertheless the hotel did nothing to help me. I was never even told I had the extra room so I couldn't use it. (I was traveling with my daugher so at least we could have enjoyed the extra space.) Later I was told that the extra room was logged as a no-show. I thought that was odd since I was there and the receptionist spoke to me. I understand that this problem is due to a combination of Expedia's error and the hotel's unwillingness to help me. I am hesitant to stay a this hotel again until I get answers. Until that time I consider this problem both the fault of the hotel and Expedia and I am hesitant to use either again until I get a resolution and understanding of what happened. If it was my fault that's fine but right now I can't even talk to anyone at Expedia to get to the bottom of it. I don't believe I ever received confirmation by Expedia for the additional room (I didn't see any in my e-mail inbox despite seeing a confirmation for the room I actually did use and was happy to pay for.) I just want answers, Expedia

The inn is Impossible to find at night. Carengie Center is a series of huge developments on both sides of a dvided highway. As for the Inn -- Badly sign posted and the street number address really took me elsewhere. Calling Marriott was an exercise in frustration dealing with lengthy recorded pitches and finally someone at a call center who had no more idea that I did except to do a futile hunt on a map feature. This was partially made up for a nice welcome at the desk, a spotless and modern room, and a good night's sleep. In short, the venue is fine. Getting there is not.

Stayed recently for Princeton graduation. The facility is easily accessed from US 1. Rooms were well appointed, clean and comfortable, staff were friendly and accommodating. I have to deduct a star because of some odd design issues. The "accessible" main entrance is through a narrow door with no touchpad to open, so it is hardly accessible for anyone in a wheelchair or with limited mobility. The breakfast area is far too small for a hotel of this size, and the design of the food service area was very poor with narrow passages that had even small numbers of people awkwardly trying to maneuver around one another. It would be nice to have EV charging available onsite.
