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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!

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.
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.
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!
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.
