Whirlpool bath provided for my suite, a very big bed, a porch to sit on, a good substantial breakfast. My room seemed pretty secure. The neighborhood seemed safe enough. The Acorn Inn was a great value for the surprisingly low price. More

We recently stayed here, family of 4, for a visit to Elon University and the Acorn Inn was perfect. Not terribly fancy but very clean, friendly and comfortable. Eating breakfast on the front porch was a treat. The room was quiet and we all slept well. More

What a nice little inn; has a bed and breakfast feel. The rooms were large and nicely appointed; with a two minute walk to Elon University. Even though student housing is right around the inn, the nights at the inn were fairly quiet even though student events were going on right around the inn. The breakfast looked nice although I...

This the perfect place for anyone visiting Elon. It is clean, charming, comfortable, and affordable. It has the exact character to fit the University and the type of student the school recruits. The staff is kind and attentive, and the owner (Mike Brown) clearly cares about every inch of his property. More

I stay here often. Large, Embassy Suites type rooms, better than average breakfast, very good staff. Near Grove Winery and walking distance to downtown Elon. Good place for business or leisure or romantic stay. Hard to get a room during big University events like graduation or football games. More

Our son recently transferred to Elon and this was our first visit since the move in. We have always stayed at the big chain hotels but none are convenient to the Elon Campus. The Acorn Inn is a fine addition to one of the most beautiful campuses in America. We stayed 3 nights and the experience could not have been... More

Having stayed at various "Chain" motels...we bumped into the Acorn Inn at Elon, NC. Our son was being recruited for a sports scholarship and the coaches at Elon University specifically recommended the Acorn In.. They were right and we haven't been disappointed yet...ever! We have stayed in the most quiet, relaxing, and friendly B&B we ever have visited and we... More

The mangement treats you like it is a privilege to be allowed to stay here. Trust me it was not. On the other hand, Burke Manor, just up the road from Elon, was fantastic. More

Ok I admit it is nice to be in walking distance of where my daughter lives on campus. But it is way too small and the service was not that great. The staff seem to lack in professional attitude. When I asked a question about extending my check out time they had to call the owner. The owner should hire... More

I'm sorry the size of our suites did not meet your expectations. With a sitting room in the front and a bedroom in the rear with a king size bed and a nice size bath with a jacuzzi style tub most of our guests find them to be a step above a normal hotel room. I'm sorry one of our... More
