The Peacock Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel

A great place to chill in Princeton that is close to many restaurants and boutiques. The staff were exceptional, especially Suzette.

Amazing hotel! My new go to when visiting Princeton.

It was truly bad. When we arrived, the room that was assigned to us had many problems. The safe did not work. The bathroom had no hair dryer and many things were missing. The room was very hot and humid. You had to carry your luggage with no assistance offered. When we contacted the front desk, they came to our room and she was not able to solve any issue. They moved us to a bigger room on the third floor.we were told the we can’t control the AC!!

At breakfast, there was nothing except bread and juice. we were told most of the food is gone by other guests and that is what we have to eat, just bread! They can’t even bring any other food such as croissant or cheese or any item for continental breakfast! That was at 9:00 and the breakfast should have been available until 10:00. Very misleading!

The rooms are very attractive. The location is great. The bar is attractive and well stocked. Some of the staff were kind and helpful.

Admittedly, this was a difficult time -- a major heat wave. The hotel was having serious problems with the a/c. We were given two rooms. One had a/c that cooled the room to a bearable temperature; the other room was unbearable. For one thing, the a/c was off. However, even once we turned it on it didn't work. We went down to the front desk, they told us that they were hopeful that the a/c would be working across the whole hotel by evening. When we came back in the evening, the a/c was still not working. We asked for another room. The front desk attendant said they were 100% booked. We asked for a fan. They said they had none; that they had looked the day before. I asked if they had sent someone out to buy some. They said no. So I went an bought one. It helped a little but not much. My colleague took the cool room. About 11pm I went down and asked again. The same attendant said they were full, but the restaurant manager (?) said to them "are you sure?" He replied "well we have one room, but I don't think it's in the same booking class." The restaurant person asked -- is the a/c working? The front desk attendant replied "yes." The restaurant person said -- don't you think you should give it to him. The front desk attendant replied, "oh". I guess! Okay, so they comped us the rooms. But really, this was so amateurish. Add to that the fact that the daytime front desk manager (not the very nice, but very new -- 3rd day -- worker) was completely unfriendly. That he stood on the stoop and watched my 80 year old colleague struggle to carry his suitcase in from the car. That the breakfast was barebones, that there were no snacks at the bar (except pickled vegetables). That the dinner was mediocre. This is not the Peacock I remember from 40 years ago -- last time I stayed or ate there.

Fantastic location, clean, and with a good restaurant on the premises. Love the reading lights by the bed!

The room we had was very small, which would not have been a problem except that the dark platform bed frame was longer than the mattress, so it was easy to bruise shins on the hidden end of it - especially in the dark. Also, the minibar was badly overpriced. Better to not have one at all than to evoke a bad reaction from guests. Consider offering items at retail prices and have guests think it’s fair, or best: underprice and, for very little cost, make them feel at home and wanting to come back.

Very good stay for me and my husband. This hotel has a lot of character because it is a historical building. The room was quite small (we had a regular queen room) but thoughtfully laid out. We also loved the area in which it is located. Everything downtown was walkable, which is what we wanted. One complaint - The continental breakfast was excellent but the coffee was not hot. I could have probably said something about this though. The staff is super attentive and helpful.

A reminder of what hospitality has been over the years in Princeton. A combination of European & American

I was in town for a bar conference. Met the manager and spent some quality time talking with him. Food was great and the bar was friendly and well served. Very good place.
