Comfort Inn Jacksonville

• Located north of Dialville in the community of Jacksonville, this Comfort Inn is a pet-friendly hotel featuring smoking and nonsmoking rooms. One mile north of Rusk, Jacksonville is known as "the Tomato Capital of the World" because of the important role that tomato farming played in the area. In 2011, this town of just under 14,000 people relies heavily on manufacturing, agriculture and tourism for economic success, but residents still celebrate their heritage each June when the yearly Tomato Festival takes place in the downtown area. The festival features a street dance, a fishing tournament, tomato growing and a tomato eating competition.
