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.
