Room 303

Located on the third floor of the Knox Hotel, Room 303—The McVety Suite—is an inviting and character-filled retreat inspired by Princeton’s rich educational heritage. Thoughtfully themed around local history and learning, the room pays tribute to Princeton High School—the oldest high school in Illinois.

Designed for comfort and charm, the suite features a queen-size bed, making it an ideal stay for solo travelers or couples. A private bathroom with a tub and shower offers a relaxing space to unwind after a day of exploring.

Overlooking the energy of Main Street, the room’s faux balcony adds a touch of architectural charm while connecting guests to the rhythm of downtown Princeton below.

The suite is sponsored by Bruce McVety in honor of his late wife, Elaine McVety, a beloved and influential history teacher. Known for her passion for education, art, and vibrant expression, Elaine left a lasting impact on generations of students. The McVety Suite reflects her spirit—celebrating curiosity, creativity, and a deep appreciation for history.
