Sonesta Simply Suites Jacksonville

Spacious, Suite-Style Comfort Just Outside Downtown Jacksonville

Modern and laid-back, Sonesta Simply Suites Jacksonville offers a relaxed stay just a short drive from downtown and the city’s best concert venues. Located near the University of North Florida, this all-suite hotel is designed to make you feel at home, with full kitchens, free high-speed internet, and a welcoming, low-key vibe.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s location—just far enough from the noise of downtown to unwind after a show, but close enough to easily drive to top venues like VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena or Daily’s Place. With a 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout, there’s time to rest and recover. The hotel offers free parking, and the quiet, residential feel is great for decompressing after a loud night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want to cook and hang out in-suite
- Solo travelers attending a dream concert
- Couples turning a show into a romantic weekend
- Fans who want a peaceful night's sleep post-concert
- Budget-minded music lovers looking for great value

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite includes a fully equipped kitchen—perfect for late-night snacks or pre-show meals. There’s an on-site convenience store for basics, and plenty of casual dining spots within a short drive. Planning a lazy morning? You can whip up your own breakfast at your convenience.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is set in a quieter area, you’re still within quick driving distance of Jacksonville’s downtown music scene, bars, and lounges. Whether you’re looking for a post-show drink or a low-key evening in, you can find both options nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and the homey feel of having a full kitchen. Reviews often mention the friendly staff and the convenience of being close to attractions without the downtown hustle. The on-site laundry and grilling area are also a big plus for longer stays.

Areas for Improvement

Heads up: The elevator is out of service from April 15 to May 18, 2024, so those with mobility issues may want to request a ground-floor suite. Also, while the hotel doesn’t offer breakfast or a restaurant, the in-room kitchens make up for it if you plan ahead.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a comfortable, affordable base with space to unwind after the show, Sonesta Simply Suites Jacksonville hits the right note.
