The hotel is clean, quiet, and conveniently located, and I especially enjoyed dining at Laurea. This is my third visit, and every stay has been consistently excellent. I was thrilled to be served again by Erin, whom I first met in September. Meeting her once more today, the day before Thanksgiving, felt like such good luck. Her bright smile, warm kindness, and exceptional professionalism made our morning truly special. Thanks to her flawless service, Laurea is becoming a meaningful place for our family. Thank you again, Erin, for making our stay memorable.

I had such a wonderful stay at the Hyatt Regency Princeton! From start to finish, the service was outstanding and the hospitality was truly top tier. Every staff member I encountered went above and beyond to make sure my experience was seamless and enjoyable. The food deserves a special mention. It was absolutely exceptional! Breakfast was spot on with plenty of options and great quality, and dinner at the restaurant was equally impressive. The bartender also made some of the best espresso martinis I’ve had, definitely a highlight of the evening. I highly recommend booking a room that includes breakfast because it’s worth every penny. Also, becoming a member is a great perk, even if you’re just planning a random stay. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way, and I’d happily return!

Overall very nice hotel. Restaurant and lounge area is very nice. The staff members were great, very helpful and cordial. Room was pretty good... the furniture seemed a bit dated. Bathroom was small. HVAC worked well. Large flat screen TV. Small mini fridge. Coffee maker. Hotel itself was quiet. Ample parking.

Beautiful hotel, well-appointed rooms. Mattress was a bit hard but still got a great night’s sleep. Wish there had been a nightstand next to my bed (only nightstand was between the double beds). Biggest complaint is there were no handholds in the shower. Scary having nothing to hold onto!!

We had a great one night stay at this HR property, and had the benefit of an upgraded room with external facing windows, etc. so we didn't experience any of the noise issues others had commented about. The staff was wonderful, especially the servers working the breakfast and the front desk staff. It's conveniently located just of US1 and only 10 mins to Nassau St. Our room was clean and we had a very pleasant nights sleep.

They have really good service. I like their swimming pool. The water is warm during winter time. Make sure to ask the front desk for a different key access. We were lucky to be chosen as the guest of the day and their breakfast buffet is awesome. Highly recommend

Very middle of the road. Great lobby, great pool (Was never too crowded when we went and the hotel seemed at full capacity), the restaurant is nice the drinks are good, some of the food could better, Drinks are pricier than they should be for the area. The location is okay, if you are without a car. With a car, is more ideal. Staff were mostly nice. Had some odd interaction with one staff member when trying to figure out the pool access system. Which you need a separate key to get into the pool which you will receive once you sign a waiver. That isn't mentioned anywhere on the website nor is it mentioned when you check in, there isn't any signage at the pool either. I only knew about it on my way heading to the pool once I asked for directions from the front desk. Would I go back? Maybe not, primarily for the pool and only if rates were super cheap ($100 and below)

Exceptional service and such a welcoming atmosphere! The team went above and beyond to accommodate our family, and they were incredibly kind and patient with our kids, which meant a lot to us. You can really tell they care about their guests and creating a great experience. Huge shoutout to AJ and Aaliyah for taking such great care of us! We truly appreciated the hospitality and will definitely be coming back!!!
