Across recent reviews, The Peacock Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel, stands out for friendly staff, a walkable Princeton location, and boutique charm, though many note compact rooms typical of the historic building.
Some reviews mention occasional lapses, including a briefly unattended front desk and an allergy request handled inconsistently. The property has no elevator and parking behind the inn is limited. Guests generally enjoy the bar and restaurant and find the continental breakfast good, with mixed feedback on coffee temperature and a slow brunch service. Expect a personable boutique stay in the heart of Princeton.

Our room was spacious and well appointed, the staff were friendly and very accommodating, and the location was terrific. Beautiful and quaint Princeton, NJ's shopping and restaurants are only a short walk away, but the street it is on is quiet and tranquil. We had planned to have dinner at the restaurant the last night of our stay, but we had to leave early so we can't rate the food and service, but the atmosphere is perfect for a romantic night out. One small issue we had was that the room key cards frequently stopped working and we had to keep getting them replaced. Apart from that, the hotel is an old Victorian manor that has no elevator, and all of the rooms are one or more flights up. This is likely fine for most, but should be considered if one has mobility issues.

The charming inn offers small but comfortable rooms, a great bar where a basic continental breakfast is served, and a restaurant. We held a Sunday brunch there for 12 people. Unfortunately the service was exceedingly slow, but the food good. The dining rooms are very pleasant.

We had a very nice time as we always do, if we had to make any constructive comments they would revolve around size of room in comparison to the price. For almost $500 per night, there are very few places to place things in the room or bathroom for that matter - It would also be nice to have a coffee maker in the room for early morning offering - besides the back of the toilet, there is no place to put anything in the bathroom and toilet paper dispenser is basically installed on the floor? Obviously first world problems but room 205 at least is pretty small for a premium price

The Peacock Inn is a cozy, comfortable place to stay. Upon arrival no one was at the desk for about 5 minutes, and a phone number left there offered no answer. Finally someone arrived and helped me check in . The room was very comfortable. There IS some street noise, and there is no elevator. The parking behind the building is minimal and if the Inn were full there may not be a space. The breakfast (continental) had nice pastries, yogurt, instant oatmeal and granola with high end teas and coffee. The staff was helpful. There is an onsite restaurant that serves an afternoon tea and dinner but it is closed on Mondays.

Was one of my favorite boutique hotels for many years, BUT certain aspects could use a facelift. Carpeting in room was a bit worn & stained. Because weather outside was bone chilling - bathroom was freezing and had no heat to speak of at all. Overhead heat lamps installed might solve the problem.

The room was rather small (to the point where I had to put my suitcase on the bed to open it, and my morning exercises were a bit cramped) but high ceilinged, quiet, and very well appointed. The shower was great, as were the soaps. The breakfast was quite nice, and there were complimentary copies of the NYT in the lobby.

Very good stay for me and my husband. This hotel has a lot of character because it is a historical building. The room was quite small (we had a regular queen room) but thoughtfully laid out. We also loved the area in which it is located. Everything downtown was walkable, which is what we wanted. One complaint - The continental breakfast was excellent but the coffee was not hot. I could have probably said something about this though. The staff is super attentive and helpful.

The Inn is beautiful--an antique house with a luxury renovation recent renovation. Service, furnishings, mattress, linens, complementary breakfast -- all excellent. Our one complaint was that the room we had was simply too small to be comfortable. To be fair, we did choose the more affordable room but the tiny size was out of sync with the Inn's luxe ambiance. Reco: Choose a larger room.

This is the second time I’ve stayed there and this time I made a point to tell them way in advance that I needed a no feather room, yet when I arrived I still got a room full of feathers and had to wait until the housekeeper changed the pillows and comforter. They gave me 2 non-feather pillows but then put 2 feather pillows back on the bed. I just put those outside the room because I didn’t feel like dealing any more and it made me mad. I’m allergic to feathers and will be miserable if I sleep on them and can’t breathe. So I think that’s the last time I’ll stay there and look for another place to stay for our next visit to Princeton. It’s pretty there and very pleasant generally but for the price, this place needs to step it up.

Nice hotel in the middle of Princeton. The room was very quiet, clean and comfortable. The space was a little bit tight. The continental breakfast was actually quite good.

Wonderful stay! Beds were amazing. Easily walkable to the main area of town. I left some earrings and management was prompt with returning my call that the jewelry was found and being shipped to me.

Very good stay for me and my husband. This hotel has a lot of character because it is a historical building. The room was quite small (we had a regular queen room) but thoughtfully laid out. We also loved the area in which it is located. Everything downtown was walkable, which is what we wanted. One complaint - The continental breakfast was excellent but the coffee was not hot. I could have probably said something about this though. The staff is super attentive and helpful.

A great place to chill in Princeton that is close to many restaurants and boutiques. The staff were exceptional, especially Suzette.

The charming inn offers small but comfortable rooms, a great bar where a basic continental breakfast is served, and a restaurant. We held a Sunday brunch there for 12 people. Unfortunately the service was exceedingly slow, but the food good. The dining rooms are very pleasant.

The room was rather small (to the point where I had to put my suitcase on the bed to open it, and my morning exercises were a bit cramped) but high ceilinged, quiet, and very well appointed. The shower was great, as were the soaps. The breakfast was quite nice, and there were complimentary copies of the NYT in the lobby.

The staff at the Peacock Inn are friendly and welcoming and seem happy to be working here. The hotel is beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and has a restful ambience. I slept well, felling comfortable and safe. I enjoyed the fresh and healthy breakfast choices.

The Peacock Inn is a cozy, comfortable place to stay. Upon arrival no one was at the desk for about 5 minutes, and a phone number left there offered no answer. Finally someone arrived and helped me check in . The room was very comfortable. There IS some street noise, and there is no elevator. The parking behind the building is minimal and if the Inn were full there may not be a space. The breakfast (continental) had nice pastries, yogurt, instant oatmeal and granola with high end teas and coffee. The staff was helpful. There is an onsite restaurant that serves an afternoon tea and dinner but it is closed on Mondays.

Clean room, a bit small, but to be expected in an older boutique hotel. Perfect distance to walk around Princeton. Continental breakfast included fresh fruit, yogurt, overnight oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs, coffee, tea, juices, and some baked goods. We were happy with it, with the exception of the baked goods; those could definitely be improved.

The Peacock Inn is a charming boutique hotel in a perfect location, just a short walk to downtown Princeton and the campus. The property is beautiful, with lovely outdoor seating areas and friendly staff. Rooms are small but with thoughtful touches like bathrobes and makeup washcloths. The continental breakfast is simple but adequate. Overall, a lovely stay and a great choice for visiting Princeton.
