Top Princeton Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Staten Island

Comfort Inn Staten Island

8/10 Good
"A nice place to lay your head after a long day. Safe neighborhood, parking is easy (but watch out for that gnarly pothole on the lefthand side of the building), and a clean room. The room itself is a little worse-for-wear (scuffs and scratches all over the mirror and walls and doors, a shower-head that isn't quite screwed on properly and so sprays water BEHIND the shower-head), the bed is exceedingly firm, and I was in a room right in front of the elevator so I definitely needed earplugs. But I felt good coming here, the bed is massive, they give you little soap bars instead of just expecting you to travel with a loofa, and they serve a warm breakfast downstairs. I didn't partake (I know where to get some good bagels not too far away) but it smelled nice and people seemed to enjoy it."

"Right price and convenient location. This was my second stay at this property in two years. One suggestion - they need to do something with the plants in the island under their sign by the highway. It blocks the view and makes it harder and dangerous to merge and there is no merge lane."

10/10 Excellent
"This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at, and I have traveled extensively before my retirement. The prices were reasonable, and the room was sparkling clean. Everything was up to date, including the shower, bathroom, and mirror. I highly recommend this hotel. Since my son and grandchildren live in Princeton, it would be the perfect place for me to stay while visiting them."
