At Chauncey Hotel & Conference Center, travellers frequently mention the serene, scenic setting near Princeton and the consistently strong breakfast, while opinions diverge on room condition and the availability of certain amenities during events.
Guests appreciate the indoor saltwater pool and calming grounds, but the pool, bar, or restaurant are sometimes closed or restricted. Rooms are comfortable for many yet dated, with intermittent maintenance issues and uneven housekeeping. Expect a quiet retreat on scenic grounds; verify facility hours and room details before booking.

The grounds are beautiful, and the staff is very nice. The room in general was ok finishes were mismatched and carpet was old but in decent condition. The balcony and my bathroom floor were filthy (hair and dirt on the floor). I also was very disappointed as the first picture on the site is the pool, which was unusable to me as a guest during my stay. The hotel has someone performing private swimming lessons in the pool. I arrived at 4:30pm and was really looking forward to using the facilities. I went to the pool to find lessons taking place. I left and went back to my room, figuring I would try again after dinner. I spoke to the front desk attendant sometime around 7:30 as lessons were still taking place, but she was unable to do anything for me. She advised the pool should be free at 8. Unfortunately, lessons took place until at least 9:30pm at which point I gave up as the pool closes at 10pm.

there was no handicap parking within close distance of the main lobby. It was actually almost a block away, which is difficult for people with limited mobility. They did not have a bell person to help with bags. I will say the restaurant was adequate. The food was excellent, but we found it odd that the kitchen was on the second floor and the restaurant was on the first floor and had to be transported down and up. The breakfast was just OK.

An interesting place, a very large and spacious property. Great for walks. The hotel was a little maze like and the front desk unimpressive. Directions to our room were confusing. Beds were comfy and rooms clean. Pool was closed while we were there which was sad. The breakfast Friday complete with an omelette station was fabulous. The staff member attending was lovely. Sat/Sun the omelette station wasn’t there food was good but standard the omelette station really raised it up.

Perfect location to our son’s house while he remodels. Hotel has the best public spaces: bar, dining, pool area, fitness center, fireplace seating areas. The 372 acres are gorgeous. Staff was so helpful: Barbara and Jocelyn at the front desk, Theran at the Bar, Mandhu and friends at the AMAZING breakfast buffet! Where things break down is housekeeping. We were there 3 weeks and somehow they could never manage to clean our room when we asked (and we only asked like 2x a week). It was odd. The rooms need renovation: sheets with tears, carpet, paint, plumbing. But acceptable and overall convenient.

Staff is amazing, especially Jocelyn at the front desk who checked us in. Public spaces are very nice with lots of natural light. Breakfast was a nice touch. The grounds are very nice! BUT the actual rooms are worn out: carpets, furniture, beds, plumbing, etc. There were no sheers on the windows. The room needed a deep clean. Corners, under the bed, baseboards were all disgusting and dirty. We put up our kids there back in June and noted the same for the room they were in—it was worn out! These rooms need a refresh.

Before Covid, this property was well kept and the rooms smelled and looked clean. Post Covid, the room smelled musty, the outside chairs had dead bugs and cobwebs all over them, the hotel had only one visible staff member, and with a wedding taking place, other visitors were disregarded. The restaurant was non existent. No visible staff working it so eating there was not an option. When inquired about it, I was told the cooking was taking place for the wedding so best to come later. I booked the hotel because our intention was to also eat there. The work out room nice. The pool area inside okay. The outdoor area from the pool was dirty and a mess and looked nothing like the scenic, relaxing photos online. Dead bugs everywhere, nothing swept, cushions not cleaned off or even positioned properly for seating. You were basically on your own with no staff. It was literally like a motel that charges four star hotel fees. Bar was closed entire time. Wedding was loud and right outside your room. No relaxing during this overnight stay. Waste of money.

Overall we love staying at this location 4 miles from our son’s house. Although the rooms are worn and need deep cleaning, as well as a refresh, the public spaces in the hotel are outstanding. Barbara, Jocelyn and Ashanti at the Front Desk are A+. Nadine, Madhu & Sam in the Breakfast Bar are so friendly and helpful. The Bar is such a nice option for dinner. Nelly in Housekeeping is a lovely person but managing staff must be a real challenge since rooms are never that clean or sanitized. Examples: the baseboards and wall under the headboards have a layer of dust. When the bathroom is cleaned between guests the shower liner should be fresh and clean—we had to ask! Debris was under the bathroom vanity so you know the floor wasn’t cleaned. Suggestion: increase the number of Queen bed options vs so many rooms with Full beds, that would be a wise change. Just my 2 cents as a world traveler!

Nice location and setting, close to my son’s home. The Staff was wonderful! The breakfast was very nice. After our initial check-in with the room looking like it was not cleaned—we resolved, moved on and enjoyed the rest of the 7 night stay. The hotel is worn and needs renovation. I’m hoping they don’t defer needed updates too long. You want to avoid getting to “tacky”!

The room I stayed in was clearly renovated from hardwood flooring with the absolute cheapest industrial carpet imaginable. There were places on the floor that were uneven with nails sticking up. It also had a loud, annoying creaking sound in several spots. The wall unit for the heating / cooling was so loud when it kicked on that it would wake me from a dead sleep. You could hear everything happening in the hall ways, due to the thin walls, which also kept me awake. Finally, due to the incredibly poor layout of the hotel, which has the dining area placed between two sections of rooms, the only way to get to my room was to take the elevator up to the second floor and walk HUNDREDS of feet, through the dining hall (with all of my luggage) and all the way through several winding corridors, which are UPHILL in several places. It took almost an hour to unload and re-load my car as a result of this, even using a luggage cart. Unless you are training for a marathon, I would not stay here unless you are placed in the first section of buildings.

The staff was particularly accommodating and professional. They did everything they could to accommodate my sensitivity to fragrance - much appreciated. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I feel hotels should refrain from using air freshener in common areas. It's toxic to a growing number of people and does not enhance the stay. The hotel smells just fine without it.

Perfect location to our son’s house while he remodels. Hotel has the best public spaces: bar, dining, pool area, fitness center, fireplace seating areas. The 372 acres are gorgeous. Staff was so helpful: Barbara and Jocelyn at the front desk, Theran at the Bar, Mandhu and friends at the AMAZING breakfast buffet! Where things break down is housekeeping. We were there 3 weeks and somehow they could never manage to clean our room when we asked (and we only asked like 2x a week). It was odd. The rooms need renovation: sheets with tears, carpet, paint, plumbing. But acceptable and overall convenient.

Our check-in process was uncomfortable, as the supervisor on duty was embarrassing the receptionist who checked us in. I did not notify the receptionist that we brought our fur baby so we were booked on the wrong floor, easy fix, my mistake. The supervisor ushered us back to the front desk and stood over the poor receptionist as she changed our room. I asked her why she was being rude to her and standing over her shoulder, I'm sure she was more than able to change the room appropriately. she replied, "I'm her supervisor and I want to ensure she does it right". The receptionist did not seem new, and she checked us in perfectly with no issues. The supervisor was not friendly to us, I can only imagine how she behaves when guests are not around.

I would not recommend this hotel if you’re looking for friendly service or a pleasant stay. The customer service was very disappointing. The front desk closed the restaurant 30 minutes before the posted hours because of a wedding, and when I called to see if the kitchen could still prepare something (well within their normal service time), the front desk lady was rude and dismissive. She said she “couldn’t communicate with them” — no effort to help, no alternative offered. The next morning, I asked if I could check out just 15 minutes late, and again the same front desk staff member was rude. Not even because she said no, but because of her tone and body language — unprofessional and unwelcoming. On top of that, the rooms smell old and humid, which makes the overall experience even worse. Definitely not a good place to stay if you want somewhere comfortable with friendly people.

Wonderful property just a few miles from Princeton, NJ- 5 minute drive into town on Rosedale Rd. Quiet, peaceful place to stay away from busy US 1. Great breakfast included, beautiful campus with walking trails, ponds, and lots of open space. A real gem if you are visiting Princeton.

This conference center hotel is a comfortable and economical place to stay. On the campus of ETS. Excellent buffet breakfast included. Rooms are a bit dated but clean.

this property was beautiful and worked very well for us to visit Princeton. It only took about 10 minutes with no expressway needed. Hotel staff was very friendly and room was very clean. loved the black washcloths for makeup.

An interesting place, a very large and spacious property. Great for walks. The hotel was a little maze like and the front desk unimpressive. Directions to our room were confusing. Beds were comfy and rooms clean. Pool was closed while we were there which was sad. The breakfast Friday complete with an omelette station was fabulous. The staff member attending was lovely. Sat/Sun the omelette station wasn’t there food was good but standard the omelette station really raised it up.

We stayed one night when we were moving our son into Princeton and loved it. Even with a wedding going, it was quiet by 10pm, we were able to leave a packed car full of stuff safely overnight and I loved the proximity to the campus. Plus, the free breakfast was amazing as well as the cafe, where we had dinner after a very long drive from Boston. We will be back!

I would not recommend this hotel if you’re looking for friendly service or a pleasant stay. The customer service was very disappointing. The front desk closed the restaurant 30 minutes before the posted hours because of a wedding, and when I called to see if the kitchen could still prepare something (well within their normal service time), the front desk lady was rude and dismissive. She said she “couldn’t communicate with them” — no effort to help, no alternative offered. The next morning, I asked if I could check out just 15 minutes late, and again the same front desk staff member was rude. Not even because she said no, but because of her tone and body language — unprofessional and unwelcoming. On top of that, the rooms smell old and humid, which makes the overall experience even worse. Definitely not a good place to stay if you want somewhere comfortable with friendly people.

Breakfast buffet was awesome. The bar and its vivacious and skilled bartender was a great finish to our celebratory day in Princeton. Rooms was comfortable and the balcony had a lovely view.

Before Covid, this property was well kept and the rooms smelled and looked clean. Post Covid, the room smelled musty, the outside chairs had dead bugs and cobwebs all over them, the hotel had only one visible staff member, and with a wedding taking place, other visitors were disregarded. The restaurant was non existent. No visible staff working it so eating there was not an option. When inquired about it, I was told the cooking was taking place for the wedding so best to come later. I booked the hotel because our intention was to also eat there. The work out room nice. The pool area inside okay. The outdoor area from the pool was dirty and a mess and looked nothing like the scenic, relaxing photos online. Dead bugs everywhere, nothing swept, cushions not cleaned off or even positioned properly for seating. You were basically on your own with no staff. It was literally like a motel that charges four star hotel fees. Bar was closed entire time. Wedding was loud and right outside your room. No relaxing during this overnight stay. Waste of money.
