P was clean. Not a speck of dirt. Bed very comfortable. Pillows were great. I can't believe how well I slept. Shower was clean, even the glass doors! Front desk attendants answered my questions and requests. Garbage cans had two sections, one for garbage one gor recyclables. I appreciate that. Breakfast was tasty and hot. Loved the waffles. Plates used were Styrofoam. Surprised me because the entire location looked environmentally friendly, then I saw the Styrofoam. Hopefully, it will be changed when I go back. I appreciated the every other day room cleaning. I knew I could get the room cleaned on the off days, but we did not need it. Wish I came in the summer to try the pool. I have stayed at several hotels in the Princeton University area. I keep trying new hotels because I have never been satisfied with our stays. I would not stay at any of them again. I finally found a hotel that I was happy and content with. I will be back. Thank you.
