Room was spacious and clean but felt like a generic chain motel. Sparsely furnished and cheap feeling. No robe, plastic cups and no fridge. Great location in the heart of town. Expected a more boutique type hotel for the price and historic building.

Beautiful inn in a great location. Wanda is lovely and the rest of the staff was very kind.

I just think the Nassau Inn needs to invest in updating. Their amenities are all adequate and were fine for my purposes, but a younger traveler would find their accomodations satisfactory…for 25 years ago.

The hotel was excellent, would love to have been there longer. The room service was ok - we didn't get enough silverware nor napkins even though we expressed that there were two people staying in the room (two sets of silverware, etc.). This happened twice, and half my breakfast was forgotten as well and they had to come back.

The property is ideally located in the heart of downtown Princeton which makes it perfect for getting to campus and all the restaurants. The property itself is dated, the rooms are small, the elevators even smaller, and there are few amenities inside the room. You stay at this place for the location only, which could not be better if you want to be at the center of everything and don't have a car.

An historic gem that needs the bathrooms of the guest rooms spruced up alot! The Corian sink was cracked, water stopper would not work and rust ringed the bathtub. The Yankee Doodle Tap room still charms. Overall very satisfactory but hire a new interior designer please!
