James
The property has an excellent location. The staff were very helpful and the room was clean.
One of the room electrical outlets was broken and the bathroom hardware was in the process of being repaired.

Eric
This place is a gem– – a beautifully preserved building that dates back to the colonial era which nonetheless provides all modern conveniences. It’s only a stone’s throw from the center of town on a lovely leafy street. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. We’re looking forward to our next visit. If you require an elevator, be warned – – this hotel does not have one. We did not mind bringing our bags up to our third-floor room, but that might be a problem for others.
Robert
Cute place very close to downtown shops and restaurants. Very walkable. Inn is a little dated but very clean. Excellent continental breakfast.
SHAWNA
The Peacock Inn is a charming boutique hotel in a perfect location, just a short walk to downtown Princeton and the campus. The property is beautiful, with lovely outdoor seating areas and friendly staff. Rooms are small but with thoughtful touches like bathrobes and makeup washcloths. The continental breakfast is simple but adequate. Overall, a lovely stay and a great choice for visiting Princeton.
suzette
Friendly staff. Good location.
Janet
We had a great overnight stay here for our trip to Princeton. The inn is charming and a very short walk to the university.
Wendy
Close to campus, convenient to walk to numerous eateries, shops, and historic sites.

The Peacock was in a great location. The staff were lovely to interact with, especially Meg, Red(?) and Mike. Bar staff and concierge were superb and made the stay very pleasant. I'd certainly return on a visit to Princeton.
Linda
Bkfst was very good, nice assortment of bkfst items. I love the Inn, but the bathroom was too small and the lighting in the room and bathroom was poor. The bed was very comfortable.
Johann
My new favorite in the area.
Nicole
Rooms are quite small but charming. Great staff and great location.
Meagan
Staff was overly enjoyable, upgraded our room, hotel bar was swanky and convenient, room was great (got to love heated bathroom floors) close and convenient to the town
James
Nice place. Well put together and overall, friendly staff. Pleasant, cozy, clean room but could hear some outside sounds. Carpet a little stained, otherwise excellent. Included breakfast was basic. Afternoon tea (separate and open to the public) was not recomendable. Nothing like the real thing. Bar was well stocked.
Bonny
A lovely space dedicating a lot of intention to the needs of a busy traveler...
grace
What a lovely place!
Kenneth
Great staff. Great breakfast. Great rooms and grounds.
Xiaoli
The breakfast was good overall, but there wasn’t a lot of fresh hot food and the variety was limited. But, the breakfast was free, and the breakfast area was extremely nice with beautiful artworks on the walls and delicate silverware. The hotel room was clean mostly except for the 3 bugs I found that I had to kill, and there was a light stain on the outside of the comforter. But, other than that, the room was very nice and well put together, and the bathroom was spacious with many useful amenities that you wouldn’t find in other hotels such as mouthwash, a body exfoliator, and etc. The hotel outside and rooms have a 17th century style of furniture, wall art, and overall decoration, which I found was really cute and matches the Princeton area nicely. The staff were welcoming and helpful. They offer to park your car when you arrive. The hotel is a great location. You can walk to Princeton and many other great shops and cafes from the hotel.
Michael
Great location and room. A bit smaller for two people. Wish there was a gym.
Timothy
Staff very pleasant, lovely room, though the heating was not responsive in the morning. Apparently the house system overrules the room system! We'll be back though.
Ellen
The staff at the Peacock Inn are friendly and welcoming and seem happy to be working here.
The hotel is beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and has a restful ambience. I slept well, felling comfortable and safe. I enjoyed the fresh and healthy breakfast choices.

delicious oysters and cocktails at the bar, kind staff, good coffee, firm mattress!
Katherine
It was a lovely room with nice amenities.
Deborah W
My husband and I were treated with a warm and welcoming smile by Michael at the front desk. Michael made our check-in informative and east. Our Room was splendid, well supplied with snacks and bar beverage selections, and impressive bath accessaries and warm thick bathrobes. Our room overlooked the front of the hotel and the beautifully landscaped grounds. Excellent!
Alexandra
No elevator!!
Edwin
A great place to chill in Princeton that is close to many restaurants and boutiques. The staff were exceptional, especially Suzette.
Vanessa
Amazing hotel! My new go to when visiting Princeton.
Michelle
Great couples getaway!
Very good stay for me and my husband. This hotel has a lot of character because it is a historical building. The room was quite small (we had a regular queen room) but thoughtfully laid out.
We also loved the area in which it is located. Everything downtown was walkable, which is what we wanted.
One complaint - The continental breakfast was excellent but the coffee was not hot. I could have probably said something about this though. The staff is super attentive and helpful.

David
A reminder of what hospitality has been over the years in Princeton. A combination of European & American
John
I was in town for a bar conference. Met the manager and spent some quality time talking with him. Food was great and the bar was friendly and well served. Very good place.
Rebecca
Wonderful stay! Beds were amazing. Easily walkable to the main area of town. I left some earrings and management was prompt with returning my call that the jewelry was found and being shipped to me.
Pedro
This is an excellent hotel and very convenient when traveling to Houston
Richard
Refrigerator in room ran all night, noisy.. Step down into Bathroom unsafe. Bottle of Water in Room Had Mold growing in it. No Place to put things in Bathroom. Stayed in a lovely Hilton down the road next night for half the price and it was Perfect in all ways.
Joshua
Cozy and cute property. Excellent service from the staff.
Stephen
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.
Jennifer
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.
Annie
The hotel and staff and service and accommodations are wonderful! My only wish is that they had a water center where I could refill my water bottle. Again, thank you so much for the beautiful stay!
Robin
Lovely boutique hotel with a beautiful garden. The restaurant menu was excellent. Very homey and friendly staff. So happy I was able to stay. Will be back again.
Jennifer
Pleasant stay in Princeton
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!
christine
Loved the style of the hotel. Super comfortable stay and the staff was super friendly
Anjali
Great place and very conveniently located.
Antonio
best place to stay in old town Princeton, walk to University and have great diiner right at the Inn
David
Excellent staff all around!
Derek
May need a second stay???
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.
John
Charming Inn Close To Town
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.
Tim
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
George
Our room was spacious and well appointed, the staff were friendly and very accommodating, and the location was terrific. Beautiful and quaint Princeton, NJ's shopping and restaurants are only a short walk away, but the street it is on is quiet and tranquil. We had planned to have dinner at the restaurant the last night of our stay, but we had to leave early so we can't rate the food and service, but the atmosphere is perfect for a romantic night out. One small issue we had was that the room key cards frequently stopped working and we had to keep getting them replaced. Apart from that, the hotel is an old Victorian manor that has no elevator, and all of the rooms are one or more flights up. This is likely fine for most, but should be considered if one has mobility issues.
Amelia
Lovely small hotel and totally walkable to the campus and town. The staff is above and beyond.
Barbara
Outstanding small hotel in a great location!
Gregory
Highly recommended high end lodging -- best in Princeton - GC
