Courtyard Ewing Princeton

This was your typical hotel. The room was clean and had a nice layout. The staff members were very friendly and helpful with some issues we had with our room keys. The bed was not as comfortable as I’ve experienced in other hotel rooms, but it was fine. There is a snack area where you can purchase microwaveable soup, popcorn, cookies, crackers, etc. and even wine and beer, which is convenient. Overall, I would stay here again.

The property was very easy to find (adjacent to I-​95) and is either newish or has been refurbished in the current Courtyard design. The room was clean with a layout that is familiar to any Courtyard customer.
The bad news is that maintenance issues were small but impactful: I like to have the bedside lights working (broken switch) and not have to unscrew the bulb to turn it off. I also prefer working outlets next to the bed not ones that have been so overused that a charger adapter fits so loosely it falls out. Finally, and frustratingly, the TV kept losing the signal. This may be an issue with their cable provider.
Wifi was adequate (1.99mbps download/2.63mbps upload) for a hotel property.
Would I stay here again? Mmmmm. Maybe.

This is a below-​standard Courtyard. The room was run down with bits of peeling wallpaper and scuffed furniture. The shower was luke warm at best, had stray hairs in it from a previous guest, and some cracked tiles as well. Even the little things, like a dirty remote for the TV and an iron with burned on residue made this a less than pleasant stay.
I’ve stayed in worse offerings by Marriott hotels (the Residence Inn at the Cleveland airport comes to mind), but this Courtyard in Ewing probably in need of new management. Seems that they really don’t pay attention to cleanliness, and no hot water in the shower is a major flaw. I would not stay here again and I advise finding a different hotel if you need to come to this area.

As a frequent traveler I prefer the Marriott brand. This location is similar to many in the Courtyard chain. The hotel layout is exactly the same to mostly all other Courtyard hotels. I have to give this location one star for cleanliness issues. My room was generally ok, but the issue arises when you find hair (likely from the previous guest) all over the room and cigarette buts — it’s a no smoking hotel. From the bed, to the shower, to the couch to the balcony: Is the cleaning staff actually cleaning? The gym was no different. No cleaning wipes for the equipment, an entrance door that takes 4 key swipes to enter, and trash on the equipment. Overall, a few policies need to be refreshed to improve the guest experience.

Ended up booking for the wrong night and the hotel was sold out! The evening associate on duty was so incredibly helpful — called another hotel and helped us to fix or reservation. So impressed with his helpfulness and willingness to help us out at 1:30am!

Surprisingly nice. Roomy, clean, friendly staff. Breakfast was really great. I highly recommend it!

Horrible wifi. It is .45 Mbps. Using my phone is faster. Lobby is dark and gloomy. Also this place is difficult to find. The entrance is not on the main road and you have to go through a NJ turn and into an office park to get to it. Finally, the TVs in the fitness center don’t work.

Check in room 421 everything was going well, the room clean, the sheets crispy white RIGHT!, WRONG! around 1 a. m I felt something biting me in bed I got up and see a little brown bug. So, I started to search the bed and found another one I decided to call the front desk to report it he offer me another room but I just did not feel comfortable so I check out same night. Also the front desk associate did not seem surprise.

Rooms are nice. Staff is friendly. But I’m pretty annoyed that they don’t have either a free breakfast or breakfast room service. If I have to pay for breakfast, they should deliver it to my room. Having to go to the lobby for a breakfast that isn’t even free is really crappy in a hotel whose clientele is mostly business. If I have any say in the matter, I will not be returning here.

I booked at this hotel solely for its proximity to the Trenton-​Mercer airport and its airport shuttle. I paid considerably more than I intended because I thought I would save money on taxi rides. I called early in the day to ensure that the West Trenton SEPTA station was within the five mile radius in which the hotel’s shuttle operates. I was informed that it was inside it and to call back when the shuttle was needed. I called the hotel as my train approached West Trenton and was then informed that the shuttle requires an appointment and that the next available was over an hour away. The West Trenton terminal is a less than savory location to be stranded and I’m glad we elected to head to the hotel early so that it was still daylight. We needed a shuttle the next morning to the airport for our flight out, yet the airport shuttle doesn’t operate before 7am. On both occasions I had to pay for cabs for a total of $ 45.
I have previously recommended wholeheartedly Courtyard Marriott facilities, however this experience was a severe disappointment. I have already cancelled my stay scheduled for next month at this facility and hope to deter other travelers from staying there until the shuttle service is sufficient for the price paid for a room.
The hotel itself was clean and nicely appointed but that was of little solace when I finally arrived. Although I was very unhappy, Rashan at the front desk remained very courteous and professional. He was the only bright spot in the entire transaction.

Clean hotel. Modern. Quiet. Great staff. Especially Ashley Patterson. Very helpful hard working desk person. We needed the rest and we got the rest.

We actually haven’t stayed at this hotel yet but we booked a wedding block with Ashley the Event Coordinator. She gave us a tour of the rooms, spent time going over the next day options, set up the website for the guests to register. We are 10 weeks away from our Wedding and have to postpone the event. Ashley was kind and understanding, this would be a hotel that I would sure to return to just for the customer service.

Typical Courtyard Marriott in most ways. I found the staff especially friendly and helpful, and liked the layout of my king room. I also thought the food in the lobby was particularly good for a Courtyard, and appreciated that calorie counts were on the menu (although my colleague and I agreed that the low calorie listing for the breakfast sandwich we both ordered was probably super wrong based on the size and sheen of the sandwich).
My only complaint is how hard it was to get into the parking lot of the hotel. It’s not clearly marked how you turn into the lot, so I ended up driving around quite a bit before I figured it out.

Stayed here one night for an event nearby. Our room was clean — the bed and sheets were clean and the bathroom was clean — that’s really all I care about in a hotel, especially one I’m only staying in for one night. A hotel can be amazing, but if it’s dirty — whats the point? It also had free Wi-​fi — nice. Anyway, so it passed on cleanliness — in the room anyway. Hallways were kinda stuffy and the elevator had seen better days. Most hotels seem to be like that though. My only regret about choosing this hotel is that there is NOTHING nearby. We got back late at night and wanted to grab food — the hotel has a little area with snacks available for purchase — but nothing we wanted. The front desk told us there was a diner nearby but it was hard to find. We ended up going into a very shady 7 – 11. Honestly, we would have been better off eating something from the hotel’s «snack closet.» Again, if you just need a place to sleep — it’s fine. If you want to grab food or anything else late at night, you might want a hotel thats in a more developed area.

A group of us stayed at this hotel for a conference at TCNJ, and the concierge was unbelievably wonderful. I am so sorry that I don’t remember his name, since he remembered mine and that of everyone else in our party. He was a tall African-​American gentleman, and he made our stay absolutely marvelous. He was simply polite. I have never had such a wonderful experience with hotel staff before and, having worked in a restaurant attached to a hotel, I know it is difficult to deal with customers. This man was extremely informative and patient with us as we got our situation arranged, and was in the lobby every morning to call me by name and wish me a good day as I left for the college. Every single member of our group commented on his superb mannerisms at some point during the conference. Additionally, Daniel, the night concierge was very personable. I remember his name because I was pretty drunk each time I encountered him, and he was very nice about it.

Looks nice on the surface, but we had blood on our sheets and found bugs in the bed. I also woke up with a rash the next day on my stomach and face. Stay somewhere else! By the way I am a loyal Marriott platinum member, but I’m rethinking my hotel brand of choice after that visit.

Really nice for the Courtyard brand. Very fresh, looks recently updated. Comfortable desk and chair. Nice LCD TV. Lobby area has a basic bar, but it’s nice. Really friendly staff. This is how a mid-​range hotel should be done. Only complaint is slow (buy free) Internet. Good enough for email but not Netflix. (My suggestion to all hotels with free internet is offer high speed for a modest, eg 5.95, up charge. It would be a no brainier for people that need it.)
Would definitely stay there again.

I have stayed here many times (+8) and still visit periodically for a work project nearby. This is one of the finest Courtyard Marriotts I have ever stayed in. The entire facility has been updated and has a clean, modern look throughout. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff (Nicole, Justin, and Caitlin to name a few in the lobby), clean and functional rooms, a ‘Bistro’ in the lobby for breakfast, bar, and dinner, and a good fitness facility. Close to Princeton for nicer eating establishments. Highly recommend if you ever find yourself in little Ewing Township.

Nice, clean comfortable hotel with a very friendly young lady working the front desk. I doubt I’ll ever be back to Ewing, but I enjoyed my stay.

A nice hotel for business travelers in town for meetings at the nearby pharma companies. Located just next to a corporate hangar (Johnson&Johnson), the hotel seems to have been designed to welcome guests arriving and checking out in suits. Very structured, no-​frills, and a VERY large oak desk in the guest rooms complete with high-​speed LAN/​wireless internet.
While I enjoyed my stay for the most part (props to the large shower room with an enormous shower head and a built-​in seat), I didn’t appreciate the linens too much. They seemed like the typical, four-​star hotel sheets and comforter. Pillows weren’t too bad, though — nice and plush. These are all very important things to a meticulous traveler like moi. ;-)
