The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Jacksonville East By IHG

Comfy Convenience Near the Action in Jacksonville

Modern, dependable, and just far enough from the chaos to let you truly unwind, Holiday Inn Express Jacksonville East By IHG offers a relaxed stay just outside downtown Jacksonville. Located adjacent to Craig Municipal Airport, this hotel blends everyday comfort with smart amenities like free WiFi, a seasonal outdoor pool, and a hot breakfast served daily. Each room comes equipped with a microwave, mini fridge, and flat-screen TV — everything you need to recharge after a night of music.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a short drive from Jacksonville’s major music venues, but far enough out to avoid the post-concert crowds and noise. With free parking, quick access to I-295, and a quiet setting, it's a great base for fans who want easy access to shows without sacrificing sleep. Flexible check-in from 3:00 PM and a relaxed 11:00 AM check-out time make planning your night even easier.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends road-tripping to a show and looking for a low-key, comfortable stay
• Solo travelers catching a must-see tour stop
• Couples planning a laid-back concert weekend
• Fans in need of peace and quiet after a loud night
• Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without giving up convenience

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (or recover from your night) with the complimentary hot breakfast served daily. While there’s no on-site restaurant open late, there are several fast food and casual dining spots within a quick drive. The in-room microwave and fridge are also perfect for midnight snacks or leftovers.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is calm and quiet, downtown Jacksonville’s music bars, lounges, and nightlife are just a short drive away. Whether you’re pre-gaming before a concert or grabbing a drink after, you’ll have options nearby — then retreat back to your peaceful room.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean rooms, friendly staff, and solid value. Travelers appreciate the easy parking, quiet environment, and reliable WiFi. It’s often described as a great home base for events without breaking the bank.

Areas for Improvement

It’s not in the heart of the nightlife scene, so you’ll need to drive or rideshare to get to most venues and restaurants. Some guests noted that the breakfast area can get crowded during peak hours.

The Bottom Line

Holiday Inn Express Jacksonville East By IHG is a smart, affordable choice for concert-goers who want comfort, quiet, and convenience — all at a great value.

The building was old and...

Disliked: The building was old and the room doors had to be slammed in order to close, so there was the constant noise of slamming doors. The shower did not work. In the morning had to be moved to a different room so we could shower. When we addressed these issues with the front desk their response was that since it was booked with booking.com there was nothing they could do and next time we should book directly with the hotel.

Great value, but rooms smell...

Liked: Convenient location to Jollibee. Great amenities! Great breakfast! Dennis was excellent and friendly!
Disliked: Rooms smell musty, moldy. Their second floor air conditioner was either turned off or broken. Rooms are not soundproof. Their dryers don’t dry well. Middle washing machine placed black stains on our clothes. Elevator doors close too soon. They cannot locate charges made on your credit card for their items shop.
