Pleasant stay at the Peacock Inn. Close to downtown, walkable. Room was small but clean and quiet. Nice shower and bed linens. Helpful staff. Breakfast was continental - not bad. Coffee was excellent. Free NYT & WSJ. Would recommend and stay here again. Thank you!

The charming inn offers small but comfortable rooms, a great bar where a basic continental breakfast is served, and a restaurant. We held a Sunday brunch there for 12 people. Unfortunately the service was exceedingly slow, but the food good. The dining rooms are very pleasant.

Was one of my favorite boutique hotels for many years, BUT certain aspects could use a facelift. Carpeting in room was a bit worn & stained. Because weather outside was bone chilling - bathroom was freezing and had no heat to speak of at all. Overhead heat lamps installed might solve the problem.

The availability of the EV charger was wonderful. Staff was accommodating and pleasure to deal with. Room was on the small side and shower was confusing.

The room was rather small (to the point where I had to put my suitcase on the bed to open it, and my morning exercises were a bit cramped) but high ceilinged, quiet, and very well appointed. The shower was great, as were the soaps. The breakfast was quite nice, and there were complimentary copies of the NYT in the lobby.

The Inn is beautiful--an antique house with a luxury renovation recent renovation. Service, furnishings, mattress, linens, complementary breakfast -- all excellent. Our one complaint was that the room we had was simply too small to be comfortable. To be fair, we did choose the more affordable room but the tiny size was out of sync with the Inn's luxe ambiance. Reco: Choose a larger room.

This is the second time I’ve stayed there and this time I made a point to tell them way in advance that I needed a no feather room, yet when I arrived I still got a room full of feathers and had to wait until the housekeeper changed the pillows and comforter. They gave me 2 non-feather pillows but then put 2 feather pillows back on the bed. I just put those outside the room because I didn’t feel like dealing any more and it made me mad. I’m allergic to feathers and will be miserable if I sleep on them and can’t breathe. So I think that’s the last time I’ll stay there and look for another place to stay for our next visit to Princeton. It’s pretty there and very pleasant generally but for the price, this place needs to step it up.

Horrible room. The most tiny room we ever had. We had to place all luggage and clothing on the floor. Room 303 is like a shoebox. When we asked for a larger room we were told to pay 350 additional although we paid nearly 700 for 2 superior queen rooms. Never again

We had a very nice time as we always do, if we had to make any constructive comments they would revolve around size of room in comparison to the price. For almost $500 per night, there are very few places to place things in the room or bathroom for that matter - It would also be nice to have a coffee maker in the room for early morning offering - besides the back of the toilet, there is no place to put anything in the bathroom and toilet paper dispenser is basically installed on the floor? Obviously first world problems but room 205 at least is pretty small for a premium price

The room was definitely fabulous. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. As well appointed as possible. Top notch in almost every department. The staff were certainly friendly, but not especially professional compared to the property. We arrived after a 5 1/2 drive and we arrived early. The gentleman at the front desk suggested a place for lunch and a snack and took my mobile # to let me know when our room was ready. This was incredibly impressive. When we returned at 4pm (1 hour later than check-in), the woman at the front desk was very friendly, but let us stand there with our luggage while she took not one but two phone calls from prospective travelers. In between calls she started to check us in and put our key cards in a folder. After the second call, the phone started ringing. I said "Can we please finish up?" She said "You are actually all ready" handed us our keys and made no attempt to help us with our luggage. Upon departure, we were not asked how everything was. Again, I would stay here again. But the staff should live up to the location and price.
