It not the Ritz, but for the price, it was nice. Older facility that has been updated. Smaller rooms. Clean. Limited selections re:TV but not a big deal for me. Couldn’t find local stations-ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS. Easy access to I-77 with a several restaurants nearby.

We stay here every time we go home to Pittsburgh, this place is a gem, it’s always clean, plenty of hot water and good water pressure. You can’t beat the price either. So much better than any of the chain hotels around it. No breakfast but that’s not a problem as there are many places around it to eat. I highly recommend if your in the Princeton area give this place a try.
