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.

We arrived just before the restaurant closed for the night but the waiter kindly allowed us to order a meal. The beds were very comfortable and the decor was lovely. The neighborhood is walking distance from everything we wanted to see, including the Princeton art museum.

The staff, generally. I nearly lost a bag with a laptop it in, because a maid removed it from my room, believing I'd checked out when I was taking a morning walk. It took a while for staff to find it--it wasn't in the luggage room. Both at check in and check out, the staff at the desk were not courteous.
