Free weekday shuttle service covers a 10-mile radius

“What struck me most was the attentive staff; small details, like fresh fruit in the lobby, elevate a stay. The rooms seemed well-designed for both families and business, and the included breakfast is a definite plus. It feels like a practical choice near both Princeton University and a bit of recreation at Six Flags.”
