This is the location of AT&T's "Pole Farm". In the early 1900's AT&T had their scientist's search out coordinates for the optimum area to send radio wave signals for telephone usage. After extensive research they chose this spot in my area for the construction of hundreds of telephone poles erected in a diamond shape pattern.
There was one pole per country and it was pointed toward that country, predominantly in Europe and the Caribbean. So, in the early 1940's, for example, when president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to discuss WW2 war strategy with Winston Churchill in London, their telephone signals would meet at this spot.
There is only one pole that remains standing and it is believed to be pointed toward Tel Aviv, Israel.
The beginning of the end for the "pole farm" was the launch of the first communications satellite in the early 1960's

"If you are trying to ball on a budget, hit the dollar menu for a meal or two and use that extra $10 saved to get another meal. I promise you, you will be better off. Horrible experience. Heard people yelling in a different language all not. Saw bugs and slept on top of my comforter praying I avoided bed bugs. They didn’t even give you shampoo for the shower. "

"The room had no glass and the TVwas not functioning. It took a couple of requests to get service on the TV. There is no daily room service for stays of more than one day. No breakfast of any kind."

5/5 Excellent

highly recommended, front deskmay need training

"Our third stay here was as good as ever. Great choice if you’re in the area. One minor detraction was the front desk Staff were less than welcoming when we arrived and were less loudly arguing amongst themselves when we checked out (not the same people). "

The Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village

5/5 Excellent

"There was a loud portable AC unit outside and it could be heard from our hotel room on the sixth floor. When we called about the noise (we didn’t know what it was), we were offered a room on the other side and given breakfast vouchers for our inconvenience. I was pleasantly surprised and it was greatly appreciated."

5/5 Excellent

"Thanks to Tanuja K. and Yelitza at the front desk and Supervisor Steve, my stay at the hotel which had to be extended several times was accomplished seamlessly and at a good rate. Even though we only have coffee for breakfast, the daily breakfast buffet available to all guests has a big selection including eggs, sausages and pancakes. There is plenty of parking and there is a nice seating area near the pool. We are staying at a double queen room and it is very spacious. We are taking advantage of the full-size refrigerator in the room by stocking it with our favorite club sodas and fruits. I highly recommend this hotel especially for those who needs an extended stay."
