The Spotlight on Colonial Inn Ellsworth

Classic Comfort Near Bar Harbor’s Music Scene


Nestled in the heart of Ellsworth, just 18 miles from the vibrant coastal town of Bar Harbor, Colonial Inn Ellsworth offers a cozy, no-frills stay with a nostalgic New England vibe. This 2-star hotel is a solid base for concert-goers looking for value and comfort, with perks like free WiFi, air-conditioned rooms, and an indoor pool to unwind after a big show.

Why Concert-goers love it


The Colonial Inn is a smart pick for music fans heading to shows in Bar Harbor or the nearby Ellsworth area. It’s just 5 miles from Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport and within easy reach of popular venues. With quiet rooms and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s ideal for relaxing after a loud night out. While check-out starts early at 7:00 AM, the 3:00 PM check-in time gives you plenty of time to settle in before heading to a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends needing affordable rooms with space to hang out
  • Solo travelers catching a long-awaited performance
  • Couples making a weekend of it near Bar Harbor
  • Fans wanting peace and quiet after a night of music
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options


The on-site restaurant offers a convenient bite before or after a concert, and selected rooms with kitchenettes (including a fridge and microwave) are great for late-night snacks or breakfast after a sleep-in. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, there are plenty of local eateries nearby within a short drive.

Nightlife Options


While the Colonial Inn itself doesn’t have a bar or live music, you’re just a short drive from Ellsworth’s local lounges and pubs. Bar Harbor’s lively night scene is also easily accessible for those willing to venture out. Back at the hotel, the quiet setting is perfect for kicking off your shoes and winding down.

What People Say


Travelers praise the hotel’s clean rooms, friendly staff, and value for money. Many mention the easy access to Bar Harbor and the convenience of having a fridge and microwave in the room. The indoor pool is a bonus for those looking to relax post-show.

Areas for Improvement


The decor is a bit dated, and some guests wish there were more modern updates. Also, the early check-out time might feel a bit rushed after a late night out — but it’s manageable with a little planning.

The Bottom Line


Colonial Inn Ellsworth is a budget-friendly, quiet, and convenient choice for concert-goers looking to enjoy the Bar Harbor area without breaking the bank.

Pleasant

Disliked: No coffee in room, none in lounge until 7:00 AM. Typical wall mount AC separate from baseboard heating system which was slow and a little quirky, no instructions. Didn’t seem like good value for the price.
