“pleasant staff but peculiar fitness room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

I have stayed here before (steered by Priceline) for my wife's early doctor's appointment. The place is stuck in the 90's but fine for a night. The staff was welcoming and the room comfortable(although the tub showed noticable rust). Each morning I have gone to the fitness room when it opens; it is apparently shared with the public. Each time I have encountered a person who apparently claims her 'turf' turning on TV's in different areas to the same channel and giving me the evil eye instead of returning my greeting. The first time I stayed I already had on something but she quickly changed it when I went to the weights. The second time I didn't dare disrupt her 'domain'. The pool is huge and clean but the sauna remains 'under repair' (for six months??). Good value for overnight but hardly a resort anymore. Don't challenge the lady!!

“Needs renovation but amentiy rich”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

This is my 2nd stay here this week. I paid 52.00 bucks from Priceline (published rate 107.00). At that Priceleine rate I gotta lot of bang for my buck!! Hotel is amenity rich and conveniently located. Large indoor pool and racket ball court, free wifi, pool tables and table shuffle board.

Hotel is showing it's age though. The old heating unit that blows the curtain around gives the room a "Motel 6" feeling. My room was in need of an "update" but was clean and in decent condition. I have seen pictures of a rooms from other posters that were way worse than my room.

Front desk staff is very pleasant and a late check out is an added bonus.

Room Tip: 2019 (two beds) 1115 (1 bed) are decent

“Run down hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

I enjoyed my stay, but mostly because I was with my beloved husband over the new year weekend. This hotel is very, very run down both inside and out. I felt it was not worth the money I paid. The hotel is under construction and the cable was out when we were there. When I reported it, they just said they were sorry and didn't offer any restitution.

“Decent place for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Let's face it, price is important.

I had to be in Princeton for a day, so I booked a room at the Wyndham Princeton Forrestal Hotel via Priceline (name your own price option). I was able to get a room for approximately 43% off the rate quoted on their website.

For the rate I paid, I thought the hotel was fine. If I had to stay there for 3-4 nights, or if I was traveling with my wife or other family members, I probably would have picked a hotel that was "fresher". For one night though, it served its purpose and I was happy.

The hotel is set off in the woods, so it is a bit away from the hustle and bustle. The room was a decent size and the bed was comfortable. The room was definitely "older" and there were quite a few stains on the grout in the bathroom and shower.

The TV didn't work which was upsetting, but I didn't arrive until late so it was probably best that I got to bed quickly anyway.

When I checked out I told the desk clerk that the TV didn't work, and her response was "We're having problems with all the TVs because we are switching over from cable to sattellite" or something like that. If they were aware of the problem I wish they would have told me at check in.

The check-in process was extremely quick and easy. It was probably the quickest process of any of my recent stays.

A BIG plus of this hotel is the FREE parking, and the parking lot is very close to the front entrance. I've become accustomed to many hotels charging upwards of $20 per night to park, which I find crazy. The Wyndham free parking lot was a big plus.

I would stay here again, because when I am traveling alone price is my primary concern. If I was traveling with my family, I would look for something a bit newer (and with fewer grout stains int he bathroom).
