The Spotlight on Sunset Inn

Relaxed, Budget-Friendly Stay Near Jacksonville's Music Scene

Modern and unpretentious, Sunset Inn is located just 3 miles outside downtown Jacksonville, NC. With its clean, comfortable rooms and practical amenities like a microwave, fridge, and complimentary Wi-Fi, it’s a solid pick for concert-goers who want a quiet place to unwind after the show. The vibe is simple and laid-back, with easy access to both city venues and nearby nature like the Croatan National Forest.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're catching a show in Jacksonville, you’ll appreciate that this hotel is just a short drive from the city center—close enough for convenience, but far enough for a peaceful night’s sleep. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, giving you time to relax before heading out, and with an 11:00 AM checkout, you won’t feel rushed the next morning. Bonus: the hotel’s quiet surroundings make it great for post-concert recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-key, affordable base
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
  • Couples wanting a simple weekend escape
  • Fans needing quiet time after a lively night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who'd rather spend on merch than on accommodations

Food and Drink Options

  • Continental breakfast available — perfect after a late night
  • BBQ facilities on-site (ideal for pre-show bites with friends)
  • Microwave and fridge in every room for leftovers or snacks
  • Plenty of casual dining spots within a short drive

Nightlife Options

  • While the hotel itself is quiet, you’re close to Jacksonville’s downtown bars and lounges
  • Easy access to local music venues and live entertainment
  • Return to a peaceful room after a night of music and fun

What People Say

  • Guests love the value for money and the clean, spacious rooms
  • The Wi-Fi is reliable — great for sharing concert pics or checking setlists
  • Reviewers often mention the friendly staff and easy parking

Areas for Improvement

  • The hotel is a 15–30 minute drive from most venues, so having a car helps
  • No on-site bar or restaurant — but plenty of options nearby
  • Décor is a bit dated, but rooms are well-kept and functional

The Bottom Line

Sunset Inn is a quiet, affordable home base for concert-goers who want comfort and convenience without the downtown price tag.

Passable

Liked: I like the price also the room we had stayed in previous was very comfortable and clean we stayed in room 124 on this visit the bottom drawer was broke in the dresser it smelled really bad like mildew and it wasn't as comfortable
Disliked: The room smelled very strong like mildew for what the person has to clean with it is very clean the dresser was broken the bottom drawer it just terribly needs updating and people that live there should just have their own side of the units for the people who are visiting as true guess can have nice comfortable rooms
