I recently visited Princeton Lavender and while the property is pretty and well-kept, I was a bit…read moreunderwhelmed overall. You have to pay just to enter the farm, and then still pay for anything you want to purchase, which made it feel a little overpriced for the experience. That said, the shop itself is really cute and has some lovely lavender-themed items. Nice to stop by once, but not something I'd personally rush back to for the price.

The venue itself was beautiful, but unfortunately the owner was extremely rude to me and my family…read more The entire experience felt unnecessarily difficult--from trying to get in early to the cleanup process. We were even required to take all of our own trash. Overall, I would not recommend this place. It was disappointing, especially since the owner's daughter, who helps run things, was very kind and professional.

My now husband & I had our wedding at the end of August 2024 & we chose The Boathouse as our…read morereception venue. We could not have been happier. Sonya was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was friendly, professional, straightforward & answered all questions I had whether it was via text, email or phone call. Sonya was on top of all the details & made sure everything ran smoothly. The Maitre'd, WOW. She ran a smooth ship. She was right there if you needed her. Her attention to detail & customer service was fantastic. You could tell she wanted everyone to have a good time. You wouldn't have guessed there was an issue as she was right there to make sure things ran seamlessly. The rest of the staff of the boathouse from bartenders, to servers, chef, etc was fantastic! They made our day special & I cannot thank them enough! Everyone raved at how good the food was & that they enjoyed cocktail hour on the deck overlooking the lake. I believe Jennifer was our server who took care of my husband & I, making sure we had food in our bridal suite, tidying things up, that our drinks were always filled & just really wanting to make sure we were comfortable & taken care of throughout the evening. The boathouse met our needs & was perfect for us. I highly recommend!

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to Lori and the entire team at Hyatt Place…read morePrinceton. During a very difficult time for my family, as we traveled to New Jersey for a bereavement two weeks ago, Lori went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and stress-free. Her kindness, compassion, and professionalism gave us a little peace of mind when we truly needed it most. I'd also like to recognize the general manager and the wonderful staff for their outstanding hospitality. Everyone made us feel welcome and genuinely cared for. Although this was our last trip to the Northeast to say goodbye to my final remaining relative there, we'll definitely return to this hotel in the future just for pleasure. Lori turned what began as a heartbreaking experience into one that was filled with comfort and genuine kindness. Thank you again for everything. I highly recommend Hyatt Place Princeton and its exceptional team. -- Craig Madison

This is my second stay in this hotel in 2 years. Even though it was 45 minutes from the event I was…read moreattending. I chose this hotel based on my last stay, the good price for two nights as a Hyatt member, and the fact that it's located in a shopping area that has restaurants and Starbucks, etc., as well as shopping within walking distance. There's also a nice sidewalk surrounding the whole area and you can take a walk in the morning. I was surprised that the last two recent reviews of this hotel were so bad because the impression those reviews gave while those people might have had a bad experience really does not describe the hotel in my opinion. It is true that this property is a little bit older so there definitely are some things in the rooms that could use spruced up. However, the rooms are large and suite sized. My AC worked fine. there is plenty of counter space & the sink & counter area are outside of the space where the shower and toilet are located. The toilet flushed fine. Shower was hot & large (walk in flat with no tub). Plenty of towels. The TV is a smart TV so you can stream. I did not & just watched HBO & regular cable. There is a bar area with a fridge & small sink & counter space for foods/beverages . Ice is only on floors 3 & 5 though. I was on 4. A desk & chair. A large couch seating area with ottoman on wheels. My room was away from elevator & quiet. It is true from the other reviews that there is only one elevator because the other elevator is broken. So the elevator can be slow and busy times and I therefore took the stairs because the hotel only has five floor floors. I realize that that's not possible if you are physically unable to do that. The lobby is nice and what I appreciated is that they had a large carafe of lemon water and a large carafe of orange water that they refilled daily. There was always someone cleaning the lobby floors as well. It was spotless. There are grab & go snacks. I did not partake of the breakfast food area so I can't comment on that. Parking is free & easy. Desk staff were friendly upon my check in. I checked out easily on app. I had also requested an early check-in and that was accommodated. I would stay again. I recommend Tommy's Tavern + Tap next door with large menu & good happy hour specials. Bonus-Wegman's supermarket is 5 min down the road.

The facility offers 2 ranges, one off grass and one off mats. Buckets are $5 for approximately 40 balls. Tee times can be scheduled online through the county or thru golf now etc. This past Sunday we paid $75 with cart. The price is on par (see what I did there) with the gold standard of the Monmouth county courses. County residents and "members" receive a sizable discount. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great shape. The cart girl was visible throughout the round. Beer, water and soft drinks only. No spirits on the cart. It seemed like every third hole had a water jug available for bottle fill ups. There is a dining facility, bar and catering hall at the clubhouse. The catering hall looked beautiful. I will be back to play there.

I had a really good golf day here this past Saturday…read more My boyfriend and I used GolfNow to book a tee time for 18 holes at 2:45pm for $30 each with cart. The grass may have been around an inch too tall and I may have lost a ball or two (because I couldn't differentiate between my ball and the reflection of all the leaves), but other than that the greens were fair and I thought this was an overall nice course to play at. The fairways weren't all that tight and there were a few holes with bends and waterways which made for a good challenge. I will say that I didn't like how the golf course rangers rushed us off the course at 6:45pm, when we had only one hole left because we were waiting behind another group. I understand that it gets dark earlier now in late September, but it wasn't actually dark yet. They should've let us finish!
