普林斯頓東南智選假日飯店(Holiday Inn Express Princeton Southeast, an IHG Hotel)

Very interesting lay-out of the Holiday Inn Express - from room to lobby, to breakfast, to fitness center and pool, there's a lot of walking. Each floor of the Inn has a hallway with rooms on only one side, creating twice the distance one normally encounters in hotels. There are lovely wooded views from all windows however. All the staff I met were very nice. I might consider this place again when in Princeton.

First of all, when I booked the hotel for this business trip, I specifically booked for the Holiday Inn Express. However, when I went to check-in, I was rerouted to a Crown Plaza hotel, which was not at all of the same level in terms of cleanliness and service. Elevator was dirty and smelly. Carpets all around were old and gave an impression of being “uncared for”. Although I stayed at the hotel for four days, not once my room was cleaned. I even had to ask the front desk to clean my trash bins and give me fresh towels, something I didn’t expect from a Holiday Inn Express or similar hotel. And, the worst part of it all was that it was a business trip and I had booked the hotel for my two colleagues as well. It was truly embarrassing, to say the least.

Muy excelente

The quiet and scenic area around the hotel is a bonus. I loved my corner room. Walkability to nearby offices can be better if the local authorities make public pathways. Dinner options can be better as well, but it will be manageable for a short stay without a car or a longer stay with a car.
