I love the Nassau for its location and historic charm, but my recent visit was not up to standard. The hotel room was so noisy - I was away from the elevators at least but had constant noise from neighboring rooms and doors shutting. I also had an issue with black gunk coming up through the sink twice during my stay.

Room was spacious and clean but felt like a generic chain motel. Sparsely furnished and cheap feeling. No robe, plastic cups and no fridge. Great location in the heart of town. Expected a more boutique type hotel for the price and historic building.

Wonderful stay at the Nassau Inn!

Great stay at the Nassau Inn! Perfect location for walking around Princeton. Friendly, helpful staff and quiet, spacious rooms. Great history to learn about the inn as well. Be sure to check out the Yankee Doodle Tavern downstairs.

Stay for convenience, but don’t lower expectations

Can’t beat the convenience and the historic charm, but the lack of amenities surprised me from our stay last year. Mediocre front desk assistance, I don’t care attitude. Issues with parking pass, and couldn’t get out of the parking garage. The issue was resolved when I asked for a new programmed card.

Nassau Inn

This is a classic and historical place. Albert Einstein ate lunch in the tavern but also had meetings with Oppenheimer upstairs about the creation of the A bomb. Right in the middle of town it gives you location to enjoy the Princeton community and the University. The history is amazing and the place goes back a long way. It has a Norman Rockwell original mural painted on the wall behind the bar. Really cool place to stay if you love history.
