Budget-Friendly Comfort Near Jacksonville's Music Scene

Modern essentials meet unbeatable value at Knights Inn Jacksonville at Dix Ellis Trail, a no-frills hotel located in the SE Jacksonville-Baymeadows district.

Why Concert-goers love it

With major music venues like Florida Theatre and EverBank Field just about 10 miles away, you’re close enough to the action without paying downtown prices. The late 3:30 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before evening shows, and the quiet neighborhood makes it easy to crash after a high-energy night. On-site staff speak both English and Spanish, helping travelers from all walks feel welcome.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable, shared base
• Solo travelers catching a must-see act
• Couples on a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans needing a quiet, low-key place to recharge after a show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer on-site dining, you'll find plenty of walkable restaurants and fast food spots nearby for a quick bite before or after the show. Several local diners serve breakfast well into the morning—ideal for late risers after a night out. There’s no 24/7 room service, so grab snacks in advance if you’re coming back late.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have a bar, you’re a short drive from downtown Jacksonville’s vibrant nightlife, including bars, lounges, and venues offering everything from indie gigs to country nights. If you're looking for a quieter nightcap, convenience stores nearby carry drinks and snacks to bring back to your room.

What People Say

Guests love the affordable rates, clean rooms, and friendly front desk staff. Many mention the location as a plus—far enough from the noise of downtown, but still within a 15-20 minute drive to most venues. Travelers also appreciate the free parking and easy highway access.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms show signs of age, and a few guests mention that the decor could use an update. There’s no on-site breakfast or bar, so plan meals ahead. Still, for the price, most agree it’s a fair trade-off.
