Graduate by Hilton Princeton

I recently completed my second stay at the Graduate Princeton, and once again, it was an exceptional experience. I spent two nights there and found everything to be great, reaffirming why I consistently recommend this hotel to both my international colleagues and personal friends. What truly set this stay apart, however, was the remarkable service following a hectic morning of departure. In my rush, I accidentally left several items in the room safe—including an expensive wallet containing cash and credit cards. The staff’s honesty and integrity were beyond measure; every single item was recovered and returned to me. It is rare to find such a dedicated and trustworthy team. I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism and cannot recommend this hotel highly enough for anyone visitin

This is a three-star hotel pretending to be a five-star hotel. The ambience is lovely, and the bed was very comfortable. The valet who parked our car was very pleasant and efficient, but I would call other staff performatively polite, but indifferent.||The rooms are small and do not offer much storage—not even a luggage rack. I did discover a small fridge under the safe, hidden by the curtain over the tiny closet. Climate control offered air conditioning or Off. We settled for Off and had a fairly comfortable night. ||The biggest problem—and one I think is inexcusavle—was that the room was so dark that we had to use our phone flashlights to see the electrical outlets—or to see anything at all.

Although we didn’t stay overnight, my wife and I stopped into The Graduate after touring Princeton’s campus to relax and enjoy a coffee. The lobby is beautiful. Warm, thoughtfully designed, and complemented by a charming coffee shop and restaurant. We each had a coffee, which was good, but the standout for us was the atmosphere. It was incredibly cozy and inviting, the kind of place where you can comfortably sit, unwind, and have a conversation or study. They were just beginning to decorate for the holiday season, which added an extra layer of warmth. While I can’t speak to the rooms, our overall experience was very positive, and it’s a wonderful spot to take a pause and enjoy the moment.

Very nice.

We made a last-minute reservation for my parents, and Mr. Shahid went above and beyond to accommodate them in a handicap-accessible room. He was incredibly professional, kind & genuinely helpful throughout the process, which made everything so much easier for us. The hotel itself is amazing & beautifully maintained, exceptionally clean, and very welcoming. My parents especially appreciated the cleanliness and the warmth of the staff members. They truly enjoyed their stay. Highly recommended for the excellent service and outstanding hospitality!
