Graduate by Hilton Princeton

I have reviewed this place before and my opinion has not changed. It's great to have an alternative in the heart of Princeton to the Nassau Inn, but except for big weekends when both engage in gouging, the appropriate price gap has developed with The Graduate generally being quite a bit more expensive. The lobby level of the hotel is excellent and has replaced the Nassau Inn as "Princeton's living room." But the rooms seem to have been designed by someone who was ergonomically tone-deaf. Examples: (i) The drawers are faux in most of the funiture -- there is no drawer, Just the appearance of one; (ii) the bathrooms look nice but don't work very well -- for instance the principal light in the ceiling is behind you so your face is in shadow as you try to shave or put on your make-up. Perhaps no one cares much since no one stays long. It’s like it was designed for android avatars. Hilton can and should do better.

Great decore, cozy and eclectic. Clean and fantastic location

Mattress is not comfortable! way too soft and the pillows are terrible,woke up with a neck pain every day. The worse part is that they don’t have alternative options for pillows in case it’s uncomfortable or too high for you, for this price per night they should offer different pillows to customers who are in discomfort.

Convenient for Princeton U. Decent decor.

Rooms were very small.

Franny on front desk is good , so is Angie . Toady morning upon checking out , the entire hotel reception , staff rooms on side and valet - everything was deserted for over 20 mins as we waited to check out and get our late last night stored luggage . The decor is phenomenal, so much thought has gone in clearly . The location is amazing.

Housekeeping is the worst . The staff they employ from African countries don’t speak english , when I request them to change bedsheets ( on 4 th day even !) the lady she can’t understand me and started screaming at mee . Overall I stayed in this hotel for 10 continuous nights and some nights a few days back too , the lady never ever cleaned bathroom or carpet . She only puts fresh towels and straightens up the existing bedsheet if at all. On some days , she would take out trash on other days - she wouldn’t bother doing that even .
