We have stayed here several times as our son attends Princeton, which is just a 5 minute drive away. Setting aside the special rate that they allow for Princeton families, the property is spotless and comfortable, every bit up to the Westin chain's reputation. The staff is polite and always smiling and accomodating. We have not really tried the restaurant... More

The pleasant and attentive staff at the Westin Princeton were a highlight of my 3-night stay at the Westin Princeton. Kamran and Joseph were just two of the friendly and helpful staff that contributed to a great stay while I was in Princeton for a training workshop. My room was spacious and well-appointed. I also appreciated the variety of healthy... More

Recently my husband and I stayed a night here while we were in town for a family activity. We love visiting Princeton...the university is always a delight and the town is bustling and fun with great restaurants and shops. We chose the Westin because it was easy to park and close to other family members. The location is in Forrestal... More

The Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village is lucky to have Lauren on their staff. Lauren demonstrates skills that every customer service professional should have. She is friendly and warm, making you feel like she can empathize with the situation and then single handedly solve the problem with a snap of her fingers. THANK YOU LAUREN. I will keep the Westin...

If you'd ever like to host a corporate event, you'd be hard pressed to find a more charming and helpful staff. The stresses of hosting any event are eased by the staff of the Westin, specifically Lauren, Nancy, Dave and Bert. Highly recommend this venue!

We arrived very late and Kamran quickly got us into some great rooms. The next day, he efficiently printed out information we needed for the area restaurants. He was able to reinstate my SPG card AND he helped us with several other needs. Kamran is exemplary and deserves high praise.

*There are POSITIVES to this hotel. Please note that the negative....might be more my opinion, and personal taste* (Myself, and a few associates on this trip) It seems I'll be making some trips to the Princeton/Lawrenceville area in Jersey.
