Atlantic Coast Inn

Classic Maine Comfort Just Minutes from the Music

A cozy, traditional motel in Ellsworth, the Atlantic Coast Inn keeps it simple and convenient for travelers looking to experience local music and events. Located just off High Street, it’s close to downtown Ellsworth and a short drive to venues, restaurants, and scenic coastal attractions. With free WiFi, on-site dining, and easy access to nearby parks and outlets, it offers a budget-friendly base with a touch of Maine charm.

Why Concert-goers love it

This inn is just a quick drive from local venues, yet tucked far enough from the downtown bustle to offer a quiet night’s sleep post-show. The 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout give you enough flexibility for late arrivals and slow mornings. If you're road-tripping to a show or visiting Acadia area venues, the free parking is a bonus. Plus, being just steps from the L.L. Bean Outlet and a short hop from Knowlton Park means plenty to do before the music starts.
