Colonial Inn Ellsworth

The day before arrival i called due to bad weather and was traveling 6 hrs and was nervous. The room was available for 334 dollars with a 9oclock arrival. Then dropped down to 179. The last day of our visit i was getting ice and 5 bikers arrived and i told them great place and answered all there questions on how my stay was. They were gonna leave but decided to book rooms. In the am i said to the man at the front desk if they stayed. He said yes my manager dropped the price considerably. She states its been slow and they need to do things like this. I am very disappointed as i stayed 4 nights for just under 1000.00 dollars. I am so upset over this.

This is a great, budget friendly stay for anyone wanting to explore Acadia ! The staff is super helpful and the rooms are just what you need. If you plan on spending most of your time exploring Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, and Acadia I would book here instead of spending the big bucks on a place in Bar Harbor.

Although the staff was amazing, there was one manager who refused to let us have a later check out even though we basically begged and offered to pay for a late check out. This was odd cause they had vacant rooms available for the next day, but we checked out on time and did as instructed. Other than that, great stay!

our room was very spacious! there was a table with chairs, microwave, small fridge, and we loved that we could park right next to the sliding glass back door. they were super pet friendly and had a nice outdoor area for our dog to relieve himself. great location with easy access to Acadia National park. the pool was very nice as well! grab and go breakfast was convenient. staff was very helpful.

the bathroom definitely needs updates and some minor repairs to a patch of wall that was torn up. seemed expensive for a run-down inn, possibly because we were there on a holiday weekend. I would have liked healthier options for breakfast.

This little Inn was adorable. I'm typically skeptical with Inns but this one was freshly redone and nice. We had an issue with our room upon arrival and the friendly staff jumped to action and fixed immediately. Beautiful renovated big rooms and pool. We loved it here and would definitely come back.

Room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very accommodating to my late arrival.

Nothing, really, except that it would have been nice to have 24/hr. coffee available, as I had to leave at 5:30 the morning of my departure.

Everything was as advertised and as expected. Room was modest but clean and well-maintained. Shower was hot with good water pressure. WiFi worked with no password. Pool was open and functional. Staff were helpful and available. Bonus: The Thai restaurant next door was REALLY good.

Really, no complaints! Many of the reviews "dinged" the hotel on the rooms looking "beat-up". While the fixtures weren't *new*, they were clean, functional, and safe. For the price - relative to other options - the rooms were fine. Really, nothing to complain about.

We had a great time during our stay in Ellsworth. Colonial Inn was a perfect location for all of our needs while visiting Acadia National Park. You can tell that they were still in the process of updating/renovating some of the rooms, but that didn't take away from any of the necessities or comforts it provided. A continental breakfast was provided. We would return if we make it back to the East Coast again. :)

Breakfast minimal but ok for me. No hot tea. Room large and clean. One bed comfortable but right under the AC. Moved to second bed which was no support and sounded like getting into a rubber boat. It was in more expensive than comparable places.

The staff was so polite, helpful and nice! They went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful! This is a great hotel with a really nice pool and people who aim to please! The rooms were large! The beds are comfortable. This may not be the Hilton or Marriot, but there is something to be said about staying at a hotel where the staff actually talk to you and wish you a good day and a good night!

Prepackaged, individual breakfast foods were sufficient and understandable given that we are still in a cautious status as we recover from the pandemic.

The lights over the sink were too bright. A soft light or lower wattage bulbs would have been easier on the eyes.
