When I think of Hyatt Place I typically consider it the weak limited service relative of the full service Hyatt Hotels. However Hyatt Princeton is proof that’s not always the case.
Yes they offer every room is a suite concept .However at the price of a 4 star guest guest room.As an elite top tier program member there isn’t much at the typical Hyatt Place to come to expect. There is no upgrade technically.However Hyatt Place Princeton goes the extra mile for their top tier customers including a nice extra welcome amenity and a pre blocked quiet room.

The downside at Hyatt Place is always an inferior breakfast. Though they score with presentation.Hyatt Place nationwide IMO continues to struggle with serving a quality breakfast. If you are accustomed to staying in upscale full service properties. If you are coming from Holiday Inn Express you will probably be highly satisfied.
If Hilton Garden Inn can do a nice enough breakfast why can’t a Hyatt concept brand known for food and beverage?Not a property issue but a brand issue.If microwaved eggs and freeze dried bacon prepared in a micowave are your thing you will be happy paying up for the hot breakfast.
Yogurt is in bowls sitting out uncovered.Generic Cereal comes out of plastic tubes that spill all over the floor.Pastry is poor.Boring breads.Meh..........This is not to say everything is bad but not one item of anything stands out.

However as any frequent traveler knows there are the exception properties where the team is excellent and makes up for any small short comings
I ended up at the Hyatt Place Princeton for business by default. The Westin Princeton was overpriced and the full service Hyatt Princeton apparently hasn’t had a renovation in many years(apparently soon to be in the works) so I booked the Hyatt Place Princeton.

My experience is whom you speak with on the phone is the experience of attitude and service you typically will receive when in house. At every point of contact the property prior to arrival was spot on.
My first in person point of contact was Irving he patiently offered whatever assistance he could. Upon arrival the welcome was all smiles and professionalism amongst the front desk staff. A quiet room had been blocked.
Irving isn’t a kid but an experienced seasoned hospitality professional that appears to like his industry and more importantly care about the customer/ guest experience.
He and his colleague Tim another hospitable standout offered their assistance throughout their shift at all times.

In the morning I had the pleasure of meeting yet another exceptional individual by the name of Kristin. Bright educated passionate about the others and the guest experience equally.
She was nice enough after I checked out to forward by mail a few clothing items I accidentally left behind in a timely manner.My sincere thanks if she sees this!

Its team members like this that makes it a pleasure to stay at any hotel.
The hotel apparently caters to business travelers and the owners are wise to have selected these team members at the property. I was comfortable and productive during my stay and the breakfast well its standard Hyatt Place fare. I’ll let you folks be the judge of that. I enjoyed my stay as much as the team members that are amongst the best of any Hyatt Place since the brand launched some years ago
Let’s hope the current team remain for a long time to come. You can’t go wrong here though like at all hotels experiences can and will vary. A solid experience all things considered with regard to my stay.Highly respectable choice for the region.
