I had a wonderful experience at Princeton Castle Resort! The cabin was clean and comfortable, perfect for a peaceful getaway, and the surrounding area was gorgeous with autumn colors. However, the check-in process was a bit inconvenient as we had to wait, and while the facilities were unique, some areas felt outdated. Overall, it was a great value for money, especially considering the serene environment.

The resort has a fantastic location with scenic ruins and wildlife, but the service and maintenance fall short. The rooms lack proper facilities and comfort, and many amenities require extra charges, leaving a disappointing impression for a supposedly luxurious getaway.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was cramped and poorly maintained, with a pull-out couch that was broken and uncomfortable. It felt like a bad garage sale find instead of a well-furnished chalet.

My stay at this resort was quite a mixed bag. The location is truly stunning, surrounded by mountains and offering plenty of outdoor activities. However, while the room was comfortable, there were issues with cleanliness and upkeep around the property. The service also had its ups and downs, as we received assistance but experienced some delays. Overall, it's decent for the price but expect some quirks.

The resort has potential with its clean cabins and serene environment, but it falls short in several areas. The cabins provide a comfortable stay, yet the amenities like the play area and lake facilities could definitely use some improvement. Additionally, some aspects of the service and overall maintenance are lacking, which detracts from the overall experience.

The resort has a stunning location near the castle ruins with a rustic charm and some interesting wildlife like llamas and peacocks wandering around. However, the overall condition of the resort leaves much to be desired, with several maintenance issues and lackluster customer service that dampens the experience. Although the accommodations are rather basic, the outdoor space is pleasant for nature lovers.
