3-star hotels in Ellsworth
A shortlist of 3-star stays in Ellsworth, for travellers who want a comfortable base near the coast and Acadia National Park without moving up a class. It covers 15 properties: hotels, inns, cottages and whole homes.
Staying in Ellsworth
Ellsworth is a small Maine town used by many visitors as a gateway to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park, with the coastal villages of the region within easy reach by car. The stays here sit in different parts of town and its surroundings rather than in one block: on High St and Main St, on Birch Avenue, Maple St and Mcdonald Ave, and further out along roads such as Landing Way, Starfish Lane, Cove Way, Whitmore Rd, Winkumpaugh Road, Resort Way, Aquarius Ln, Great Ledge Rd and Branchview Dr.
That spread shapes who each property suits. Couples and short-break visitors tend to prefer the in-town addresses, where a desk, breakfast or a lounge makes a short stay easy. Families and groups do better in the larger cottages and homes, several with kitchens, playgrounds, family rooms or pools. Business travellers are served by the properties with business centres, fitness centres and 24-hour front desks.
