Hotels near Eastward Mall Bowling lane, Ellsworth

My husband and I did a detour on our vacation and spent 2 nights here, May 13/14, 2022. We were greeted pleasantly and with great kindness by Patty at the front concierge desk! From the moment we walked in and every time we walked through the lobby. What a wonderful lady! Once we checked in quickly and easily, we went up to our room on the top floor, river view. The room was exceptionally clean, and quite large! The bed was nice, comfy and big. TV worked, remote worked. We had a fridge and a microwave. All in clean working order. The windows are big AND they open for beautiful overnight breezes! The second day was quite hot so we turned on the AC. Worked great! The hotel is older. The walls are thinner than most. But it all added to its charm. We had a wonderful stay at Fort Knox Park Inn. A few local restaurants and an ice cream shop. The river walk was really nice (except for those pesky mosquitos - bring bug spray). The view of the bridge was pretty. Highly Highly Recommend and I hope the day comes where we can return and stay longer!

Glad we chose this location. We wanted something in town and affordable. Family of 5 with 3 young adults requires 2 rooms. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the hosts are friendly and helpful. We loved the location with easy walking to shops and restaurants. Jordan’s was a good location for a hearty and fast breakfast (2 blocks) and there’s a mini fridge in the room. The motel is also an easy 4 blocks to the Bar Island hike at low tide. We loved our trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia!

Not impressed. The small crowded room appeared clean but I had specifically requested a first floor room, ended up on the second floor and no concierge service to bring in luggage. Staff was polite but entire hotel seemed dated. Room was quiet but I had requested a nonsmoking room and it said nonsmoking in the room but I still felt like it had a faint odor as if it at one time had been a smoking room or furniture had at one time been in a smoking room. The window could not be opened and the ventilation was musty. Breakfast was minimal, apples bananas, yogurt and microwave breakfast sandwiches. We ended up opting to go to Governors for breakfast instead so we could get a decent breakfast. I had paid more for this hotel than other options in the area and have previously had good experiences at other Ramadas, but was very disappointed. Considering the cost, I expected it to at least have a full hot breakfast and a porter. Nobody have us any information about the pool or the gym when we checked in so I don't even know if those were accessible. It wasn't a terrible hotel but I paid for a higher end hotel and it equated to a Motel 8. Prices in Ellsworth were considerably higher than other nearby areas but there are few restaurants nearby and they close extremely early. This hotel is very overpriced for what it is and what is offered.

Great place to stay if you're looking to visit Acadia and have a rental car! I stayed in a value cabin (think duplex cabin with one shared wall) and it was exactly what you would expect. My unit had a fridge and a comfortable bed. Employees were very nice-- would totally stay here again instead of being in Bar Harbor. There are full size cabins, value cabins, and motel rooms at this hotel so just pay attention to what you book so you can adjust your expectations accordingly. Another bonus-- it was a quick drive to a Walmart to stock up on supplies. There is also a really good lobster restaurant a little ways across the street with much better pricing than what you would find in bar harbor

The location is far from Bar Harbor and is a typical motel. Health is good, service is good, the network is too bad, there is basically no way to access the Internet. It is difficult to get close to the peak season park. It takes 40 minutes to drive to Cadillac Mountain in the morning.

I simply cannot say enough positive things about this venue. The entire process from start to finish was phenomenal. The owners of the Inn are as accommodating as possible and were so sweet to work with on the day of the event. Chelsey, the wedding coordinator for the Inn is as fabulous as it gets. She is prompt, professional and has a calming presence which helps many brides. We had a unexpected thunderstorm come through 15 min before our ceremony and the whole staff worked with us just to push everything back 30 min to allow us to have the outdoor ceremony of our dreams. We were so incredibly impressed with their flexibility and accommodations. Our guests raved about the food, the quality of the staff and the gorgeous views this venue offers. The whole weekend was flawless from start to finish. Would get married here 10x over.
