“Nice looking, but fatally flawed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

This hotel has been remodeled and looks great. Nice shiny lobby, great fitness room and pool. The rooms are clean and spacious. Great internet connection. Unfortunately, if you are a business traveler every single bit of this will be spoiled for you when you go down to breakfast in the morning. I went down this morning at about 7:30 and stood in a line 7-people deep for 20 minutes for the privilege of ordering a breakfast sandwich and an orange juice. Honestly, I would have had a much nicer experience at the breakfast buffet of a Fairfield Inn.

It is such a shame because this hotel could have a lot going for it. If I want to stand in line, I'll go to my local DMV. I won't be going back to any hotel that charges me for the privilege.

“Great hotel, great staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Stayed here for my last trip to New Jersey after staying at the Residence Inn on my previous trip. The staff is great, check in is fast, the lobby is newly remodled and has new furnishings. The room seemed to be recently remodeled as well. My only beef, and this is minor, was that a couple of the TV channels had spotty or no reception, maybe the satellite needed a nudge. But the TV was HD, a plus. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and will always stay here when I'm in the area.

Also take heed of a previous reviewer's tip to use 3815 Brunswick Pike instead of 3815 US Route 1 for your navigation app.

“Excellent stay, affordable high quality property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

Very friendly and helpful staff, accomodations very new looking and well maintained.
Great stay all around.

Only issue I had was finding the hotel using the GPS. Don't enter GPS address as "Route 1", it goes to the wrong place on Route 1 a couple miles off, .

I later was told it works OK if you enter 3815 "Brunswick Pike", it finds it OK.

Room Tip: See notes above regarding using GPS address as "Brunswick Pike", not route 1.

“Great hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

I have been traveling to New Jersey this past fall. I have stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in Princeton New Jersey four times. The rooms have always been clean. The help staff is friendly. I have never had any issues. My one recommendation is to request a room at the back of the hotel. The hotel is fronted by a major highway. Rooms in the front of the hotel tend to be noisy.

Room Tip: Choose a room in back of the hotel, away from the highway.

“Dont arrive at rush hour”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

If you are driving here, two pieces of advice. Call for GPS instructions from the hotel ( do not use the street address) as it will leave you arriving at an empty lot a mile away. Also note that this property is in a very heavy traffic area and expect bumper to bumper traffic from about 4:30pm to 6 PM. The hotel is pleasant and well cared for. There is a very covenient Ruby Tuesday restaurant within walking distance from the hotel door.The only negative was brerakfast . The surly breakfast lady who ran the food concession off the lobby made me wonder why I had paid for a mediocre breakfast snack that I could have easily bought at McDonalds for less money.
