The hotel is conveniently located near Princeton, with surrounding office campuses, offering large and super clean rooms. The dining experience was somewhat limited, and some areas were in need of improvement, but in general, it was a good experience with friendly staff and clean facilities.

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and had a luxurious feel surprising for a Holiday Inn Express. The service was friendly and engaging, though there was a small hiccup with late check-out communication. The location was convenient for accessing Princeton and offered a serene outdoor patio with a lovely pond view. The dining options were decent with a nice variety despite some packaged taste issues. The hotel facilities were well-equipped and enjoyable.
