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!

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.

Yelp gets it right again…read more Three stars. * * * The Hyatt Regency is a perfectly nice place to sleep. The beds are comfortable. They have hot water. Parking is easy. My particular room had a shower that insisted on running even when I wanted to take a bath. A nuisance but not a traumatic life scarring experience. * * * The challenges of the Hyatt Regency are all on the food side. And note - the food is perfectly good. They have a decent kitchen and will serve you fine stuff. On the plus side - and hooray for them on this one - the kitchen cooks unusual things and makes them available for purchase in the various and sundries store. So if you get an urge for garlic chicken wings at 2 in the morning - you don't have to do anything stupid like room service. They have real good ones that you just buy at the store, pay for at the front desk and then zap. Eat in the lobby or your room as you wish. * * * So what I am squawking about? Squawk squawk squawk squawk squawk squawk squawk squawk. a) The hotel is in a food desert. There is absolutely nothing around the hotel. Princeton is a completely interesting food city ... And it has become more so since it became a retirement community for elderly New Yorkers who want to get out of the rat race of living in the city. You can eat like a king in Princeton. I was travelling. It was in the middle of cold spell that was unusually cold and miserable even for long standing experienced Princeton residents. Getting to the famous food would have meant two expensive Ubers for non-trivial distance while freezing my a** off. In most other college towns, the hotel where all the campus visitors stay is right in the heart of the action. I was in Siberia both for remoteness and for temperature. I did most of my eating at the hotel - hating every minute of it. b) The Hyatt like nearly every other hotel specializes in massive markups for eating on premises. They promise high quality to match the astronomic prices. I had a breakfast buffet where most of what I was eating was scrambled eggs (good but nothing special), bacon (a little worse than normal bacon) and chicken sausages (kudos on the chicken sausages.) There was lox with capers - which was a good thing. Not a terrible breakfast. But NOT worth $28 a pop. Every time I had breakfast I was feeling the money draining out of my wallet. c) I had dinner at the bar with decent sports TVS. If I wanted to do upscale experimentation - and I did - the options were extremely attractive. The prices were blanch-worthy. Okay, one of the bottles I looked at was an advanced years Whistle Pig Rye. The whole point of Whistle Pig is to make you pay enough money that you force yourself into thinking you are drinking a superior beverage. Otherwise you could not live with yourself and what you are doing. I have done Whistle Pig in lower end manifestations. The brand is meritorious. But it is NOT four times better than competing brands that are charging a fourth of the price. Add a hotel markup to that and you are looking at numbers so obscene that children should not be allowed to hear them. I limited myself to brands I could drink for less than $20 a pop. I discovered one marvelous rye, and one mediocre rye. (Angels Envy and Basel Hayden Dark respectively.) My wallet was under control drinks wise. The flatbread pizza on the other hand was playing the breakfast buffet game. Huge prices for cheap stuff. A flatbread with mortadella on it should not cost practically $30, even if the six pieces of mortadella on your pizza have real pistachios in them. Pistachio and regular mortadella go for the same price where I buy Italian goodies. So once again I was watching my wallet bleed. At least I could drown my sorrows in alcohol. * * * Yes, hotel dining is expensive. If you don't want to pay hotel prices, Don't eat in hotels. I get it. But if you are in a place where you are going to have to pay at least $30 and catch pneumonia in order to NOT pay hotel prices, That means that you are stuck-ooed no matter how you play it. * * * Simple Solution: Don't stay at the Princeton Hyatt Regency. Exception: If being out in the boonies doesn't bother you, You can make the Princeton Hyatt Regency work.

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.
