The Lafayette Inn

We had a pleasant one-night stay at this Inn. We stayed here a couple years ago, and yes, things have changed somewhat since Lafayette College took over the Inn. Primarily, the made to order hot breakfast has been replaced by a cold breakfast buffet. The Inn is staffed only until 7 PM, and arrangements should be made for later check-ins. However, in other respects the Inn is pretty much the same - still a handsome old building in a nice location in Easton. I was actually quite pleased with the breakfast - lovely fresh fruit salad and really good quality yogurt (I am quite fussy about yogurt and most inns offer nasty "light" yogurts.) I didn't sample much else as we were meeting friends at Three Birds Coffee in Easton (highly recommend!), but I'm actually pretty happy with a self-service breakfast which is sometimes more convenient than something more formal. The breakfast room is especially lovely. We were in the middle of a bad hot spell and the air conditioning in the room worked great and was fully adjustable. There were delicious cookies on offer in the parlor in the evening. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Onsite parking is convenient. Would happily stay here again.

Things have changed since the college bought the Inn. 24/7 snacks and drinks are non existent at night. Beds are like sleeping on a rock - we were told all mattresses were changed - must have bought the cheapest available. Shower heads have an oxygenator on it to save water, so the stream of water is very poor. No hot breakfast anymore.We went down the street to the college hill cafe and had a great hot breakfast instead even though breakfast is included in the price. The TV remote wouldn't work and they couldn't find batteries or a different remote so we could change the channel.The room was either freezing cold or boiling hot - could not get the room heater/ ac to work properly. the only pro is that it is within walking distance of Lafayette college and they have parking. Otherwise stay at a different hotel.

Needed a place for my son to rest while he was recovering from an injured foot hiking the Appalachian trail. Cannot say how much I appreciate them looking out for him. They even got up early to cook them breakfast the morning they were headed back to the trail. He said it’s the best place he’s ever stayed. If I ever end up in Easton have no doubt where we’ll be staying.Highly, highly recommend.

We had a great stay here while visiting Lafayette College. Our room was large, comfortable, very clean, and cute—much better than a hotel room. The hosts were lovely and fun to talk to. Breakfast was delicious, with many freshly made options to choose from, and served in an adorable, bright space filled with beautiful windows. All the common areas were inviting and comfortable. The walk to campus took about five minutes. Easton itself is a very cool little city to check out, with lots to do. We hope to return again sometime.
