Grand Eastonian Suites

Two bedroom suite is perfect for families. Large kitchen and two bathrooms. Nice pool. Quiet. Friendly staff. Close walking distance to Crayola and downtown Easton.

This is such a GEM of a hotel. The «rooms» which are converted condos are amazing with beautiful hardwood floors and exposed stone/​bricks ceiling and walls! It has an open floor plan, which includes a living room, full kitchen and dining room area with seating for up to 6. I came here to go to the Crayola factory with the little ones.
I was very pleased with my room and stay. The hotel staff were very accommodating. My only gripe is the downtown area is VERY questionable (–1 star)! I know the hotel has no control over it but it does make all of the difference in a guest’s stay. I must say, if this hotel was in a big city area, they could easily charge 3 – 4 times the rack rate.
I am planning to come again for a girls night/​weekend out. However, it will be to go wine tasting at the local winery.

The Grand Eastonian was a basic place to lay one’s head. The best part of the king size room was the whirlpool. It would have been even better if there was hot water to fill it with. The tv in the room was a throwback 27″ inch which was disappointing. Our floor was under construction reeking of paint and absent of wall hangings and art. The front desk staff was pleasant. However, their kindness did not make up for the brown water that came from the hot water thermos that was part of the continental breakfast.
Overall, I was not satisfied with the value and I would look for somewhere else to stay when I return to Easton.

Unfortunately, we did not have a great experience with this hotel. For starters, even though our room was booked through Expedia, they still put a hold on our credit card (not the card used for booking) for incidentals. Which we have experienced before, but never as much as this hotel – $ 651! So beware if you are using a debit card for the incidentals. Second, the room we were in was TINY. It had a king bed, but there was hardly any space for the rest of the room! The bathroom however was very nice and large, featuring a shower ‘stall’ as well as a jetted tub and a two-​sink vanity. Our first major problem with this hotel was that our room did not have a thermostat in it, so we couldn’t control the temperature at all. It was about 75 degrees in the room which for us, is way too warm. So the front desk clerk moved us to another room on another floor, still no thermostat. She gave us a small portable fan to put in the window of the room and told us to call the manager in the morning; that there was nothing she could do for us that night. The next morning, the manager did move us again into a very nice two-​bedroom suite. If you have the option to stay in a suite at this hotel, it is completely worth it. There was a nice large living room with a fire place, a nice kitchen with stove, microwave and fridge, two bedrooms and two large bathrooms… and most importantly, a thermostat to control the air! While we definitely appreciate the manager upgrading us to such a nice pad, I’m still going to give this place two stars. For one, I think it is absolutely unacceptable that a hotel doesn’t have AC/​heat controls in every room. Surely we are not the first to complain about such. The suite we were upgraded to did have a thermostat, but the thermostat did not work correctly and we were still too warm to be comfortable. Also, the rooms (all three of them) as well as the rest of the hotel definitely could have been cleaner. There should not be dust on the floors/​baseboards of a room, there should not be hair (that isn’t ours!) everywhere (the bathrooms, the bedroom, the BED, the nightstands, etc.) and there should not be huge stains all over the rugs/​carpet (in the hallways to the rooms and downstairs at the front desk). When we went to check out, we stood there and waited for about 10 minutes for someone to come to the desk to check us out. Some of the pros are the large bathrooms that have recently been re-​modeled, the hotel is in a seemingly safe location – we were never worried about our safety, free parking and free WI-​FI.

Awesome place to stay in Easton. Rooms are really nice and well-​priced, but the only downside is the limited hot water for taking a bath.

Spent only one night in this great hotel.
Room was an apartment — seemed recently renovated.

This hotel is part hotel and part residential. The hotel is another example of the great work being done to restore downtown Easton.
The room itself was small, but boasted a large walk in closet and bathroom. The highlight of our room the whirlpool bathtub, where my girlfriend spent hours soaking before checking out.
The rooms do not have unlimited hot water, so if one person takes a bubble bath and the other a shower, there may not be enough hot water for everyone. We had the same experience last time we stayed. I assume each room has it’s own hot water heater that runs out, unlike most hotels that have a heater for the whole building.
The beds were comfortable and I got a great night’s sleep, like last time.
They provide free parking in a lot at the side of the hotel. However, you will first need to get a key card to access the lot from the front desk.
They converted to the key cards and the door will lock behind you, this changed since our last visit. To enter the building, you will also get a code to enter after regular business hours.
Wifi is also available in the building, you will get a code when you check in for access.
The staff was very friendly at both check in and check out. They even remembered me from last visit, were interested in your reason for visiting, and asked about my experience when departing. In addition, they insured I had the best rate available based on their pricing schedule at check in.
For the price, this is an excellent place to stay, and it’s close to everything you’d want to visit in downtown Easton.

This hotel costs twice as much money as any other hotels in the area. The room was a suite, but there is only room for two to sleep there, so I don’t really see the point in having so much space, it’s not like we could have gone there with kids. The room was cold, and the blanket was thin. The bathroom was a very long walk from the bedroom, down a narrow hallway that served no purpose. You need a code to get in after 7pm and if you have trouble with that you stand outside for a long time. We asked for a late check-​out of one hour, and we were told to be out of the room in 30 minutes, though the hotel appeared to be completely desserted. I have never been treated so poorly in a hotel. The Holiday Inn Express down the street is much less expensive, and they have lots of pillows and a real blanket. This was a terrible experience and it ruined my weekend.

3.5 stars, overall
After 7 PM, it isn’t possible to get in the front door and you either need to use the intercom or have the code. The intercom wasn’t working, so luckily I had their number and we needed to call the front desk. Would have supremely sucked to not get in. Night desk staffer was a bit strange.
The building is old, so it doesn’t «feel» like a typical hotel. I had to walk through a maze of a hallway to get to my room. My room was the smallest on the floor (based on the map) which was ok because I was by myself. The bathrooms are rather nice, though I didn’t have time to use the big tub. The shower products were excellent.
Downsides: The continental breakfast wasn’t that great and was off in a weird side room. I got some bug bites during this trip, which *may* have been at this hotel. The first night was really cold (and there was no in-​room thermostat) but when I mentioned something to the front desk staffer in the morning she said she would try to fix it and it was much warmer that night.

I couldn’t believe our big our room was. We had 5 kids with us so a big room was nice. We got in and didn’t expect to see two floors, a huge kitchen, living room, a Jacuzzi tub. The pool was very cold. The people there were super nice and helpful in helping us with a situation we had. The room was gorgeous and it wasn’t bad at all for how much it cost

This is an interesting place. I got tour a lot of the building. Its like a commercial building that has been restored and now houses hotel «suites» and residential condomeniums. First I will tell you the rooms are not like some of the pictures that I have seen posted on here in the profile. They were nice but rather small except for the large bathrooms with whirlpools. The other great thing about the bathroom as the amazing shower areas with seperate lighting just for the shower stall. Pretty cool. The rooms has had exposed pipes in the ceiling which gave it a cool look and a knod to its former roots.
The place did seems a little noisey at times when walking around. I think that was an element of the residential component. There was a lot of running in and out by young people who I assumed lived their or was visiting. Other than that no real complaints. Its in the heart of downton Easton which as a surprisingly cool entertainment district. I would definitely recommend this place for people in the area.

I was surprised at how nice our queen suite turned out to be. The kitchen was very modern and large as was the attached dining area. The living room had several easy chairs, a large coffee table, a lady’s desk, several lamps and a large tv on the wall. There was also a faux electric fireplace which was cute for ambiance.
The halls meander back and forth very oddly. It was fun. Best of all, they are pet friendly!
I love restored properties. This is a fine example of saving a historic hotel and bringing it into the 21^st century.
We will absolutely return.

I’m not sure if the Grand Eastonian has regular hotel «rooms.» Part of the building is an upscale residential hotel and the regular «hotel» part appears to be mostly suites — large bedroom, living room, fully equipped kitchen and often two bathrooms.
They have a combination of modern interiors and some mid-​century furniture, but very tasteful. For families, two couples or two people who want space, they have HUGE two bedroom duplex suites that really got well beyond «hotel room» and seem much more like apartments. The prices are very reasonable for the size.
In the entrance lobby the Green Harvest café is a great source of good quality eats, although there are certainly other restaurant options in the neighborhood.
Free WiFi.

Spur of the moment decision to stop here. We were not disappointed. Awesome décor. Great value for two room suite with kids. Walk right down the street to town square (Crayola Factory in our case). Several parks across the street. The pool and exercise also nice although pool is dimly lit at night. Took the kids a bit to «in creep» themselves out. A great city revitalization story. Well worth the stay. We will certainly be back.

Sorry but the place is not clean and is so noisy its impossible to sleep. I would not stay here again. The staff were pleasant which accounts for the one star but that’s the nicest thing I can say.

FIVE STARS for the Grand Eastonian Suites!
Friendly staff, immaculately clean suites with tasteful modern décor– worth every penny! Highly recommend this place if you are in Easton.

I have to say, i was quite impressed by the looks and feel of this hotel. We made our reservation en route, say about 4 hours before arriving, though
. From the description they indicated they didn’t just have rooms, they had suites.

Wow, the lobby looked quite nice, not too ostentatious. Modern and well kept. The receptionist was very matter of fact and friendly. They don’t provide a key to your suite, but they give you a code, which i presume they change with each reservation. We went upstairs to and walked through the maze of hallways, well not really a maze as they went in only one direction, just zigzagged.

The suite was very nice, large. It had a beautiful full kitchen. a nice LCD screen on the wall, a fireplace. Neat modern furniture on the living room and dining area. It had two bathroom. One with just a shower, the other was a full bathroom with a whir pool and a separate shower. Double sinks. This place was almost as large as my two bedroom apt in NYC! (I know i might sound like a hillbilly or untraveled. Even though I’m neither, i have usually tried for the economic lodging in order to spend my money on other things, like good food and attractions.) From the descriptions the Hotel has an indoor pool which due to our short stay we couldn’t enjoy. All in all accommodations were very good, clean, beautiful. They did try for the modern industrial look by leaving the beams on the ceiling unfinished, but they didn’t carry it out properly so it just looked unfinished, there was enough eye candy around to be looking at the ceiling.

As for the couple of hick ups here. The AC unit was too loud to keep most people awake (others had brought this to their attn but they don’t seem to have much to do with the problem). Thankfully being used to noisy NYC helped. There seems to be a very limited amount of hot water for the room. Using it for a bubble bath would leave you without hot water for quite a while. Continental breakfast… hmmm what continent is that from really, ONE BAKED GOOD, ONE COFFEE or TEA and ONE ORANGE JUICE, YUMMY! I would give them five stars but these items need addressing.
