The hype
Staff is consistently praised as friendly and helpful, but the building itself feels past its prime.
Springhill Suites Ewing Princeton South
$125-160/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You have an early flight out of Trenton-Mercer (TTN) or need a spacious family crash pad near The College of New Jersey.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Free 24-hour shuttle to Trenton-Mercer Airport (2 miles away)
- Suites are 25% larger than standard rooms with mini-fridges and microwaves
- Reliable free hot breakfast with DIY waffles
Kurzfassung: A functional, slightly aging highway hotel that stretches the definition of 'Princeton' to its absolute limit (it's 12 miles away).
Bewertet von @Momcavetv: I stayed here for a quick business trip and honestly, the layout surprised me. Having that dedicated desk behind the partition meant I could actually focus, and the sofa gave me a place to unwind that wasn't my bed. Solid choice if you need space.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
The 'Princeton' in the name is a geography lesson—you're a 20-minute drive from Nassau Street.
- You're flying Frontier out of TTN and want free parking/shuttle
- You need a sofa bed for the kids
- You're visiting TCNJ or Rider University (both <10 mins away)
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
6
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Many guests report missed dust and 'quick' cleans rather than deep scrubs.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally functional, but watch for hair in drains and worn grout lines.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Expect scuffed baseboards, peeling wallpaper corners, or slow drains.
- Linens & towels: Standard Marriott issue—crisp but not plush. Check sheets for stains immediately.
- Odors & scents: Usually neutral, though some hallways can smell of 'old hotel' mustiness.

Insider-Tipps

If the hotel breakfast is too crowded, there's a Panera Bread and Starbucks just 2 miles away.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'split bathroom' layout (sink separate from shower) is great for families but the sliding doors offer zero sound privacy.
💡The gym is tiny—3 cardio machines and a rack of dumbbells. Don't plan a serious workout.
💡You might hear military planes occasionally; the airport shares runways with the NJ National Guard.
💡Housekeeping is 'on request' for shorter stays; you must ask if you want daily service.
💡The sofa beds are trundle-style and notoriously thin—ask for extra comforters to pad them.
