What guests think

At The Inn at Elon, travellers praise its beautiful, well maintained property on Elon University’s campus, with spacious, comfortable rooms, very clean interiors, and consistently friendly staff that make campus visits and stays convenient, calm, and welcoming.

The on-site restaurant and bar earn praise for tasty meals and cocktails, though several reviews note slow or understaffed service, occasional quality issues, and a limited menu at times. A few guests reported minor hiccups like room maintenance quirks, temperature controls, or bedding setup for sofa beds. A refined stay with comfortable rooms, warm service, and on-site dining that may be hit or miss.

Comfort and elegance at perfect location to tour University of Elon! Rooms, bathrooms, and facility are meticulously clean, spacious, and convenient. We have stayed at the inn 2 times and both times everything was perfect! Extremely comfortable beds, plenty of room for my daughter and I to have our own space while getting ready! Balcony overlooks beautiful fountains and greenscape of the campus. Restaurant had delicious dinner and breakfast and the bar had amazing cocktails. Highly recommend and will stay again!

Overall had a good experience. Staff were understanding and resolved concern quickly. Food at the restaurant and bar was really good. However, Menu was limited but expected since school was not in session. Beautiful property and great location for a private event. My only concern was the rim did not appear as clean.The front desk staff quickly brought up a key to another room. I did try using electric outlet on desktop and was not working. I climbed under desk to outlet and plug desk electric into different socket and it started working.

The restaurant could use some help. I saw quite a few plates sent back(Twice for undercooked chicken)and the cocktails were a bit light handed. It appeared only one person really knew what was going on. The weather stripping on the front door kept becoming unattached and winding up on the ground causing a tripping hazard

Very nice room and staff. Young man at check in was very helpful recommending restaurants in the area. At breakfast at The Mark I had to locate the coffee carafe and refill my own coffee as I had been waiting and did not see a server. Room was great but thermostat was turned off and it was only 66 degrees in the room.
