Graduate by Hilton Princeton

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife and I recently stayed at the Graduate Princeton while celebrating our anniversary, and it exceeded every expectation. Before anything else, I want to recognize Shahid. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and welcoming, but Shahid’s thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made our stay especially memorable. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and helped turn a wonderful getaway into an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself is exceptional. It strikes a perfect balance between classic elegance and modern comfort. It is impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and exceptionally well-appointed. Every detail feels thoughtfully considered, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The location is outstanding. We were able to walk to Princeton’s campus, shops, restaurants, and cocktail bars, making it the perfect destination for a relaxing overnight getaway. The hotel’s own bar is excellent as well and was one of the highlights of our stay. We live only about an hour away, and by the time we checked out, my wife and I both agreed that we had found our new favorite weekend getaway. We have already started recommending the Graduate Princeton to friends and family and look forward to returning ourselves. Thank you to Shahid and the entire team for an exceptional stay.

Pretty setting, plenty of space. It has live music in the evenings and gets busier as the night goes on. The bartender Eddie was good, get a cocktail or a mocktail. The food was underwhelming to put it kindly but I would should have asked more questions so I would give it another shot. The coffee shop is cute but have not tried it.

We decided to book here because it was close to my fertility clinic... A lot of the hotels that should appear to be normal on these websites look like crap in person. Yea. We booked over a year ago at the Marriott Forrestal and it was a disaster.. the room was very dirty w pubes and a rusted out bathroom tub. Not to mention the drains were broken and blah blah… this location is much better at least. The valet service sucked. No one was there and we backed out of a crammed ally using the rear camera of our car. What’s nice is they have live music when you walk in and the room looked better than the last place we stayed. However, the beds seem like fulls instead of queens. The carpet on the floor is linty… the bathroom toilet was barely clean and there were a couple pieces of hair on the sink (yucky). The shower doesn’t look clean w rust happening on the glass. The biggest down fall to this place is no gift shop for drinks. They told us we can order stuff from the bar at seven in the morning but after my appointment I want to be on the road home. I get dehydrated easily and that’s dangerous to me because I don’t want to end up in the ER like what happened to me last time. It’s both physically and financially painful. I also have nothing to drink w my meds and I’m not drinking the hard water out of the facet. They also have no room service for the restaurant so it’s best to get something to eat on the way to the hotel or order from an app. It’s sad that something I would rate a 2 star hotel is one of the best hotels here. I would try a bed and breakfast but I have a child and what’s off is some hotels and resorts are not kid friendly and some places prefer children to be older. But they have no issue accepting dogs. A positive about here is it’s next to my fertility clinic and can be convenient for ppl visiting family in Princeton. It’s a place to sleep I guess… It’s far from impressive and a bit depressing but I digress.

Phenomenonal experience staying here. The interior decor is stunning, club and college themed. The staff are so friendly and nice. Very uplifting! Valet parking is seamless, just pull in where it says parking. Can't beat the location, it's in the center of the center! High-end stores all over, Barbour I saw you and I'll be back.

We stayed here for an anniversary trip and had a lovely stay. The hotel was gorgeous and thoughtfully decorated. The location was great and an easy walk to other destinations. The staff were friendly and helpful specially Mr. Shahid at Front Desk. We would definitely stay here again.
