A laid-back choice for those looking to explore the westside of Jacksonville, the Sleep Inn & Suites along Ramona Boulevard is a colorful choice for those looking to relax on a budget. Hosting complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi in addition to bonus freebies like a sunny outdoor pool and serene rooms, some of which offer in-room hot tubs, you’ll be more than ready to sleep in. Get through the Normandy Village area and beyond by having your own ride, whether it’s a private rental of your own or a lift aboard Ramona Boulevard’s 13 bus line, which heads east toward downtown.
From small parks to local restaurants, the area is a great place to get to know Jacksonville’s lesser seen side. Head west along Ramona for immediate access to the Niem Phat Duong A Di Da Buddhist Temple, home to ornate designs, a statue garden, and welcoming locals happy to share the grounds with visitors. Cross Lane Avenue to grab a bite to eat at Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q afterward, enjoying a local staple home to southern comfort food perfect for feeling at home. End the evening simply by taking a stroll down John D Liverman Park, a nearby recreation area offering views of the Cedar River from park benches that make it easy to go with the flow.
