The Spotlight on Coastal Motel

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Jacksonville Shows

Modern convenience meets small-town charm at Coastal Motel, a no-frills, budget-friendly stay just a short drive from downtown Jacksonville, NC. With its laid-back vibe, clean rooms, and easy access to both nature and city hotspots, it’s a reliable base for concert-goers who want to keep things simple and stress-free.
Located just a 5-minute drive from Morgan Bay and only 18 miles from North Topsail Beach, the motel also offers quick access to local parks and historic memorials between gigs.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the quiet atmosphere after a loud night out, plus the 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze. If you're catching a show at one of Jacksonville’s music venues or on base at Camp Lejeune, you're less than 20 minutes away. The motel’s free Wi-Fi and parking mean you’re always connected and never hunting for a spot after a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-cost base near local venues
  • Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist in town
  • Couples combining beach time with a night out
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from city noise
  • Budget-conscious music fans who’d rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

No on-site restaurant, but the motel is within easy driving distance of several late-night diners and fast food spots. Bring back a bite and keep it cool in your room’s mini-fridge. No room service, but vending machines are available 24/7 for late-night snacks or drinks.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no bar at the motel itself, downtown Jacksonville’s bars and local music lounges are within a 10-15 minute drive. Whether you’re into craft beer or karaoke, it’s easy to grab a ride and head out.

What People Say

Guests say the rooms are clean and quiet, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is super convenient for those visiting Camp Lejeune or catching events in town. Many appreciate the affordable rates and easy highway access.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms could use a bit of updating, and the motel doesn’t offer luxury touches—but for the price, most guests feel they get excellent value. Don’t expect flashy amenities, but do expect a solid night’s sleep.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Jacksonville for a show and just need an affordable, quiet place to crash, Coastal Motel delivers on all the basics without breaking the bank.

Even with the great price,...

Liked: Price was great - but still you don't expect any issues, regardless of price, and there were a few.
Disliked: Check-in took a bit longer than expected. Since I was standing outside and not allowed into the lobby, this could be really annoying during inclement weather. Water spigots on tub were reversed (hot was cold, cold was hot). Wasted a bathtub full of water trying to figure out why I wasn't getting hot water. Pillows were pretty sad and gave little neck support. Not sure why I got a message from Booking dot com afterward asking if I actually checked in. Something is amiss with the check-in process and Booking getting informed. Now I'm wondering if I was charged correctly.
