The Acorn Inn is a lovely place to stay, especially if you are visiting Elon University. It is very close to campus and the little main street. It is not quite what I pictured since I'm from New England and I was used to the cute little New England type Inns, but it was very nice. Our suite was on... More

The Acorn Inn was wonderful. It's walking distance to campus, the rooms are all suites and were very spacious and comfortable and a delicious breakfast was included! It's not the least expensive hotel option in the area but definitely is the most convenient. My daughter is a freshman at Elon so I know that I'll be staying at the Acorn... More

Great quite play with everything you need and a strong attention to detail. Perfect little patio. They loaned me a bike to ride around town and walking distance to everything downtown and campus. As close to home as you get.

This place is a gem if you are going to tour Elon Campus. My only complaint is that I am sensitive to fragrance and there was too much fragrancy smell in the rooms. They should be more fragrance free for the general public. Beside that it was a very nice place, clean and a complimentary breakfast was lovely.

I've stayed twice at the Acorn Inn now. This little inn is a couple of blocks from the Elon campus and the same distance from the tiny town of Elon, which has a couple of restaurants, a bar, and a great ice cream shop. This is not a historic inn; it's fairly new. The rooms are actually suites with a... More

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.

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.

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.
