WESTIN PRINCETON (New Jersey, USA) : Review and video
What a strange hotel. I was so glad I was only staying one night! That was more than abundant.
It has been many years since I stayed here, and thereupon it was called something different. It seems to have gone into a strange limbo state since thereupon and the whole place feels in decline.
The hotel is going through some work, which is very desperately needed. I am not certain whether that is just in the public areas only, but the rooms all need work as well.
The main observations I had of the hotel were:
(1) The bedroom was large, but strange. The bed was comfortable abundant, though the fitted sheet seemed to be the wrong size and kept slipping off in the night. The decor in the room was odd and a weird mix of styles and furniture. It all felt a bit like it was made up by different folks with different ideas. The bathroom had a toilet and bath/ shower (very beige and very dated) with the basin outside in a small hallway thing. Odd.
(2)The premium lounge, which I got access to as am Gold Starwood was very tatty. It had food and a good selection of coffee – but was so shabby.
(3)The restaurant was fine. Very empty and ok food.
All in all a very odd place with a very odd feel. I would not go back.
The problem in the Princeton area is all the hotels are very average, but always busy and full – so none seems to try very hard.
