Holiday Inn Express

Get ready to crash in style at Holiday Inn Express Princeton Southeast, a no-muss, all-fun hideout in Plainsboro, New Jersey, just a quick 3-mile shot from Princeton University’s hallowed halls! This isn’t your grandma’s roadside motel—it’s a sharp, 62-room bolt-hole at 870 Scudders Mill Road, carved out of 27 wooded acres that feel like a secret escape pod from the urban grind.

Coffee’s on tap with in-room brewers, and the Wi-Fi’s free and fierce—upload your Princeton selfies without a stutter. Downstairs, The Bistro’s slinging Starbucks and hot breakfast grub—think eggs, sausage, and those cinnamon rolls that hit like a sugar-coated hug. No velvet ropes or pretentious nonsense—just a clean, crisp setup that gets the job done.

This place is your springboard to Princeton’s playground. You’re 5 minutes from downtown’s cobblestone swagger—think indie bookstores and craft beer joints—while the Quaker Bridge Mall’s 7 miles away for when you need a retail fix. Got a car?
