孔雀旅館-阿桑德連鎖酒店(The Peacock Inn, Ascend Hotel Collection)

Very nice and small boutique hotel. Great breakfast too. A short walk from Princeton center, but much better than Nassau Inn which seems to have monopoly in Princeton. Only issue with the Peacock was the noise from the ventilation one floor down. Continued until 10 or 11 pm. Not optimal .

Have had a lovely, very comfortable, charming experience staying here for a week. The staff is gracious, willing to meet any need and care. The bed is very comfortable and the breakfast spread is perfect - great baked goods, frittatas and delicious coffee. Cameron, who tends to it in the mornings is a gem and leaves a genuine, caring impression. Will not hesitate to return.

A friend and I had just spent a lovely afternoon at the Morven Museum, the staff there suggested we try the Peacock Inn for lunch since it had ties to Morven. Curious to learn more about it we went. We valeted the car and saw many umbrella tables on the front lawn full of guests that looked like were enjoying a high tea. As we walked up the charming porch, we noticed tables and decided we would sit there. As we entered the inn, we were met with a glare from what we assumed was the front desk manager. I asked if we needed a reservation. He flatly and rudely stated that brunch ended at 2pm. We asked if they were serving lunch. He said in a completely bothered tone in a very pretentious manner that maybe, maybe they could do something like small bites, purveying in his voice that it would be a major inconvenience. We said that was fine and very much appreciated and we would be on the porch. A few minutes later a waiter appeared with a set printed afternoon menu served from 2-5. So, they did offer a set menu, there was no maybe, and we were discounted from the start. There was nothing said about their dining hours, no explanation, no apologies. We decided to leave as we felt unwelcome and looked at as a nuisance. I suggest that this manager be held accountable and relearn how to treat potential guests!

Rooms were super tight. No place to put dopp case in bathroom . Shower controls a nightmare. No coffee maker in room . No elevator and no bell person. Front desk person helped upon arrival, but a different person didn’t even look up when I struggled to carry cases down the stairs and lugged them to the car. Continental breakfast was okay, but limited sitting area. All in, for a lesser price, stay somewhere else , get a large , equipped room, enjoy the elevators and warm breakfast.

Lovely Inn. Centrally located. Pleasant staff. Room 303 was tiny, but ok for our 1 night stay. Reminded us of NYC hotel rooms. Should have asked for help carrying suitcases up 3 flights. Self serve breakfast included croissants, muffins, fruit salad, yogurt, cereals and oatmeal.

From the moment we entered the hotel we were treated greatly. The staff could not have been more accommodating - and that is the entire staff including the bartender, restaurant wait team, front desk managers, etc. We stayed in room 302 which while it seemed to be a little small actually ended up fine. I worked from the desk most days and had no issues. Breakfast was wonderful - simple - healthy - very good. I enjoyed it each morning on the front porch. We had cocktails prior to dinner and drinks were exceptional. We ate at the restaurant twice and both times the food was phenomenal.

I called months ahead to make a reservation as part of a wedding block. After some confusion over the family's name, the reservation was made. This is a lovely boutique hotel on a very busy street (not a "lane") just off the main street of Princeton and easily walkable to town and the university campus. I am a single and was in room 208 which was very nice for one person, but would have been tight for two. The bed was comfortable and a variety of pillows was available. The bathroom was a generous size and although there was no counter space, there were two drawers and a shelf below the sink for toiletries. The shower was wonderful as was the heated floor. There was a bar fridge in the room, so I took bottles out to store the snack food I had brought. I learned the second night that there were blackout shades behind the thin shades that were visible. I was glad I had my earplugs because I could hear the small children in the room next door before I put them in to go to sleep. It was frustrating that, given the room, rate and 5-star rating, the TV only got one station (despite the fact that someone came in to "fix" it) and if there was wifi, it was so weak I couldn't download a book on my kindle and my phone stayed on LTE the whole time. Breakfast was a cold Continental buffet, but I overheard that you could request a hot asparagus fritata. It was lovely eating breakfast at a table on the lawn, despite the noise from the street. The valets were quick and amazing at how many cars they could park in the driveway. I checked out at 11:00 while there was a private brunch going on in the dining room and schlepped my own bags down the stairs (no elevator) before a nice young man was available to help me. He put the bags in my car.

Beautiful room and amazing dinner!
