Holiday Inn Express Princeton Southeast by IHG

Quiet and beautiful location. Easy access to Princeton, Staff was very helpful.

Parking was easy and plentiful. Breakfast was great, with a large variety of different options including make your own pancakes. Staff was not especially helpful and seemed indifferent. Room was clean. Bed was ok, but not the most comfortable. The hotel needs some updating in the common spaces and had an odd over used air fresher smell. Suitable for a quick, one night stay.

Check-in was a disaster. There was an issue with the patron ahead of me and the woman staffing the front desk seemed unable to sort out the issue and fix it herself; she mentioned that she doesn't usually work over here but we spotted her multiple times at the front desk over the course of our visit so it seems unclear what her definition of usually is. Breakfast was also fine if you're starving. Otherwise unremarkable. Hotel room was spacious but not clean. As evidenced by the mozzarella stick and marinara sauce lid we found on top of the microwave; unclear how long it was there for but definitely long enough to be rock hard. After the room was cleaned, the coffee pods were not replenished either. The bathroom door was could not be opened and closed without coming ridiculously close to the toilet. The fan in the bathroom was also insanely loud. For such a spacious room, you'd think that someone would've thought out the bathroom configuration a bit more. We had no trouble accessing the gym at Crowne Plaza but could not get into the pool area. We went to the front desk of the Crown Plaza for assistance whereupon we learned that when we checked in, the Holiday Inn Express staff was supposed to give us an additional keycard for it. It was also quite a long walk to/from the gym and pool at the Crowne Plaza. We noticed a GIANT spiderweb w/ a spider on a light just outside the doors from the Holiday Inn into the hallway. Overall, a mediocre experience. Would not come back again

In spite of their being no facecloths in my room, this was still an excellent place to stay. The breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast but I’ve seen worse. The coffee was from a machine that “brews” it…it was pretty bad. But overall it was clean and cozy, would stay here again!

Needs some updating but good for what we needed. If you need a place for a night it’s good
