Not really in the 3 star priceline group. I knocked my 4 star price quote to 3 star when my bid wasn't accepted. Although the room was clean, the floor/carpeting was uneven, the tub tile had moldy grout, and the ac was terribly noisy. The public areas and elevators could stand a decent cleaning.
So, a budget rating and a budget price would be fair.
A definite heads-up to not trusting the priceline star ratings.

Do Not Stay in this Hotel!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/12/07
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. We were there from a Friday afternoon to Sunday - because we were part of a large group we could not change hotels - I believe our group had most of the hotel booked. We went the entire weekend without hot water - the boiler was broken and they were not able to get it repaired. With a full hotel they ...

A comfortable friendly place to stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/13/06
I've been staying at the Holiday Inn in Princeton off and on for a little over two years. I work in the area and drive up regularly from my office in North Carolina. I arrive at all hours of the night and day. This is a terrific hotel -- the rooms are clean and comfortable, it is easy to find, it is quiet, and the food is great (and room ...

Too Expensive for a average business hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/11/06
I've been there many times. It's a very clean hotel. It does not look like your typical "Holiday Inn" but more business-like. The desk staff is very nice, but they often give different prices (there doesn't seem to be a set price for a room). The food is good, but the menu for room service needs and update badly. All of ...

OK
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/12/06
It was ok, but very smelly and not too clean. Food is not very good either. Best atraction is the price. The bath room needs attention, was to smelly, and the toilet looked like it had not been attned in ages. I would not stay there again, only if I wanted a cheap place to stay. The bed was comfy, but again smelly.

Smelly room with no thermostat.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/13/06
The front desk staff was polite and helpful. The room assigned to us on the second floor was very smelly - there were no other rooms available in the same category. There was no thermostat in the room and it was very difficult to adjust the room temperature. The restaurant was fine for breakfast although the guy at the door could learn how to smile once in a while.
It's a nice hotel with every basic amenities and a free wireless internet that works most of the time. Room service is okay but they tend to clean all the papers that you leave on the table :) it happens with me everytime i stay here. I literally have to put all the important paper work locked in my briefcase. As long as you dont use the restaurant the hotel is good ;)

Good Value , across the street from the Westin
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/28/06
I got a great deal through the Holiday Inn website. I had stayed at the Westin & Doral Forrestal. The holiday Inn is a step below, but the service is about like the Westin and it is across the street. The restaurant is to be avoided. My real complaint is that I always arrive in Princeton on the red eye and the hotels are very accomodating about ...

Best in town
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/09/05
You will never believe that this is a Holiday Inn until you actual see the sign. The lobby is great, the rooms are wonderful, and the food is excellent. What you get for the price is way above and bind. I highly recommended it for anybody who is traveling to the Princeton area.
