Lafayette Inn

My wife and I stayed here for two nights after our wedding in Easton. We chose Easton due to it being in the middle of our respective families, and we wanted to stay somewhere other than a chain hotel.
I picked up the key in the morning before the wedding, because we were definitely NOT going to make the 10:00pm check in deadline :-).
Upon arrival around midnight, we easily accessed the building with the security code provided, and made our way to room 25 on the second floor. We were greeted with a spacious, quaint room with a large bed, desk, and lounge chair. My mother-​in-​law arranged for a «romance basket» to be waiting, and a basket with cheese and crackers, chocolates, berries, and champagne was there.
The next morning, we were greeted with a delicious home cooked breakfast in the breakfast room, which set a romantic ambiance with tables for two and classical music faintly heard in the background.
Staff was extremely friendly and caring, and asked about how our wedding was.
If you are looking for non-​chain lodging in Easton, I highly recommend the Lafayette Inn. Even if you’re not, still give them a try.
Thanks for helping make our dream weekend perfect.

I have had the pleasure of staying at the Lafayette Inn twice– once for an interview at Lafayette College (2 nights) and once to visit the campus to make my decision (5 nights). I can honestly say that Laura and Paul are two of the nicest B&B owners around. They were very helpful in suggesting restaurants and even a real estate agent. The room (#26) was very nice and the bed was very comfortable and the house is gorgeous. They truly make you feel like you are at home. Breakfast is really nice– in contrast to a previous review, I thought the omelets were great (plenty of veggie options), the bacon was cooked well, and they serve cappuccino and espresso in addition to great regular coffee. They also have baked goods out all day. The parlor is a great place to hang out and it has a really nice fireplace. Honestly, I would consider living here!

We stayed here for 3 nights over the Thanksgiving holiday with our puppy and had the best stay. Our room had dog treats, baggies and dog bowls in the room which was awesome.
I cannot express how nice the staff is here. They also have by far the best b&b breakfast we have ever had. It is made to order and they have amazing fresh sides in addition to all of the usual breakfast items you would expect.
They always offer coffee, hot chocolate, cake and sodas ²⁴⁄₇ in the sitting area which is pretty cool.
We have decided this is now the only place we will stay while up north visiting our family.
The owners sent us a personalized ‘thank you for staying’ email which I thought was a nice touch.
Great place, lots of history and the food and staff are awesome!

I expect inns associated with Select Registry not to have pet friendly rooms that smell like urine and they would not give us a refund if we did not spend the night.

This inn is housed in a beautiful old building, but i think it’s a bit overpriced considering the location. Bed was comfy, bathroom just didn’t dry out (even with fan), windows would not open (they were painted shut) and the AC had a mind of its own. Breakfast was nothing to write home about — the bacon was microwaved and the scrambled eggs were so-​so. For almost $ 200 a night i expect something a little more imaginative. i wouldn’t recommend it for the price.

Spent a spontaneous night here last weekend, after antiquing in nearby New Jersey. Reception was nice, very friendly, there are drinks and snacks always available in the inviting library. Breakfast was terrific, with a large selection of homemade food. Altogether a most pleasant surprise.

Wonderful b & b! My husband and I just came back from staying at the Lafayette Inn this weekend. The inn is a beautifully restored building with large covered porches with chairs and tables perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing. It has a large comfortable parlor for reading papers or chatting with friends. The variety of breakfast offerings made a perfect start to our day in the sunny and nicely decorated breakfast room. My husband had Belgian waffles, while I had a made-​to-​order omelet. There was also fresh fruit, bagels, English muffins and plenty of excellent coffee and tea. I could go on and on about the comfortable bed, wifi, cable TV and nice furnishings in our room, but I think you get the idea. If you’re in the Easton area, I strong recommend the Lafayette Inn!

My fiancé and I stayed here for 2 nights for my girlfriend’s wedding. We were both a little worried on the drive to the Inn, because some parts of Easton that we drove through looked pretty sketchy, but when we got there we were pleasantly surprised. The building has been kept up beautifully and the area immediately around it was charming and seemed safe.
Our room was a little smaller than I thought it was going to be and up 3 flights of stairs, but it was nice – complete with a skylight and a window seat. I won’t fault them for not having an elevator because even if they had one, I can’t say I would have used it. I thought the A/​C unit in the room was a little difficult to work (and I’m a pretty tech-​savvy person) but the weather was so gorgeous, we had the window and skylight opened for our entire visit anyway. The WiFi was a bit finicky when we first set it up and it wasn’t anywhere near the speed of our FiOS at home, but it did work. The bed was extremely comfy, the water was hot and the pressure was good! There was a TV in our room, but the screen was really small. We got a good laugh out of the fact that it had a built-​in VCR. The food was very delicious and the staff were friendly and inviting. We even met Lana, the «mascot» husky dog.

The Lafayette Inn is beautifully decorated and very welcoming when you step in.
I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday, bringing him to the Inn and then to the State Theatre (2 minute drive into downtown) for the Stand-​up Comedian, Lewis Black.
When one of the owners (the wife) checked us in, she pulled me to the side and offered to do anything extra (chocolates etc…) for my bf’s birthday surprise. She was very kind and accomidating!
Fresh baked blueberry scones and dark chocolate pecan cookies in the sitting room (all day long and included with your stay) and a nice coffee, soda and tea selection. We stayed over a Saturday evening and the owners put out wine and cheese around 4pm.
After our show, we came back to our suite (Room 2), where we had a private entrance, King bed, little fireplace, and MASSIVE whirlpool tub.
Positives:
*******Wonderful fresh baked goods and a fabulous breakfast. Made to order Belgium Waffles, fresh strawberries, sausages, corn quiche, cereals, etc… coffee, tea, juices, milks. Very homey. Very relaxing. The Husband, of the husband-​wife owners, made our waffles!
****Big, comfy room
*****Most comfortable, silky, squishy sheets I’ve ever felt. I kicked myself after we left for not buying a set!!!
*****Friendly staff
Negatives:
*** You Hear Everything: It is an old house and our suite was on the lowest floor. Around 1am, some Lafayette Students (staying with their parents) came lumbering into the room above ours and made quite a bit of noise. Dan and I were still up, so we didn’t mind too much, but had we been interested in sleeping — it would not have been an option.
***The whirlpool tub in our room was VERY VERY loud to fill and VERY VERY loud to run the jets. If you’re using it midday, go for it, but it gave us pause when we wanted to use it at 10:30… I did not want to wake the whole house just to utilize the tub!

I had a night here when I was on my honeymoon a little while back. I’d have to say that this is a very cute little bed and breakfast in a nice part of Easton (yes there is a nice part of Easton). It’s very near the Lafayette campus and a stone’s throw from Morici’s restaurant (great place for dinner). I’d say the entire area is very safe and convenient for pedestrians.
The staff was very nice and I could have sworn the owner himself was making us breakfast. While we’re on the topic of breakfast, they had a cute little kitchen with all sorts of fresh ingredients and your breakfast was made in front of you. There was also an assortment of fresh baked goods and coffee in the living room at all times of the day.
Definitely a bit pricey but the rooms were beautifully furnished. Our room had a GIANT bathtub which the wife loved and used twice during our stay.
The free wireless Internet was a little spotty but it’s an old building. The entire neighborhood has a lot of pretty houses and is in an «older» part of Easton. Which means lots of thick walls for wireless signals to penetrate.

I would have given The Lafayette Inn five stars if they had an elevator. This is a quaint full-​service bed and breakfast with classy amenities in a safe historic neighborhood.
Although it was a steep climb up to the room that I had booked on the third floor, the effort was worth it because the room had a skylight and a wonderful window seat with a nice view. The staff was very pleasant and welcoming and both the breakfast and the view from the dining area were outstanding.
