Top Central Jersey Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Princeton

8/10 Good

"Property was fine. Clean, friendly staff. Breakfast wasn’t worth $20. No better than free breakfast elsewhere."

Crowne Plaza Princeton-Conference Center by IHG

8/10 Good

"A Wonderful Stay with Exceptional Hospitality! Our overall experience at the Crowne Plaza was very enjoyable! The hotel was clean, welcoming, and offered a wonderful selection of amenities and activities. The check-in process was smooth, with only a few minor room adjustments. Our room was clean, and the bed was nicely made, although we did notice some wear and tear on the mattress cover. Fortunately, this did not significantly impact our comfort. The water pressure was excellent, the heating system worked perfectly, and we absolutely loved the warm indoor pool! One of the highlights of our stay was Rocky, the bartender! Her hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail were impeccable. Despite working alone, she managed everyone’s orders with precision, patience, and grace. Her vibrant personality and genuine dedication to customer service truly elevated our experience. Rocky is an incredible asset to the hotel and deserves recognition for her outstanding service! We would also like to acknowledge Sierra, Wanda, and Hue, who were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. They made us feel comfortable and took the time to answer our questions. The only disappointing aspect of our stay involved a woman who appeared to be part of management. On a few occasions during check-in and checkout, she did not acknowledge or greet us. While we understand that staff members can be busy, a simple greeting or acknowledgment goes a long way in customer service."

Hotel Executive Suites Newark Liberty Int'l Airport Carteret (EWR)

8/10 Good

"Stayed just one night to catch connecting flight the next day. No complain."

New Hope Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great, sweet, very roomy cute cozy hotel with a surprise fun nightlife at the bar"

Spark by Hilton Rahway

8/10 Good

"entrance driveway sits in a strange place. It was an average property, nothing over the top. The last day at 6am the breakfast area trash was overfilled. The rooms are fine but almost stuffy."

Hyatt Regency Princeton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place.We enjoyed our stay. The staff was very pleasant. We plan to stay again in the future. Thank you."

Hyatt Place Princeton

8/10 Good

"I was looking for a hotel for a quick one night stay in Princeton and this was the most affordable option. The hotel itself is just fine, no bells or whistles, and fairly comfortable and clean. It’s located next door to a small mall and some restaurants which is convenient, however, it is about a 10minute uber to downtown Princeton. The room was clean but basic. If you’re looking for somewhere just to lay your head this is a good option, but if you’re looking for a nice hotel with a little bit of a luxury feel you should look elsewhere."
