What guests think

Across recent reviews, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cumberland - La Vale by IHG earns frequent praise for friendly staff, a satisfying hot breakfast, generally clean rooms, and a convenient location near restaurants, shops, and major roads.

The indoor pool and hot tub are popular, though guests note intermittent issues such as a nonworking hot tub or cooler-than-expected pool; parking is generally easy. Rooms are often comfortable and spacious, but several reviews mention noise from nearby areas or HVAC, dated or worn finishes, and occasional musty or mildew odors. There are occasional service lapses, including a lengthy check-in and maintenance requests that were not addressed. Overall, expect a solid stay with strong basics and some variability in upkeep and noise.

We stayed overnight. Parking was easy. Area looked safe. Staff was great and the hot breakfast was good to eat prior to leaving on our journey back. The interior especially the carpet looked a little dated but clean. There was a musty smell on initially entering the room that went away with turning on the AC.

The staff was lovely and helpful. The room was mostly clean, but when we moved an ottoman in front of a chair, there were dried crumbled that looked like ramen noodles under it, which made me think the cleaning staff wasn't as thorough. Overall it was a pleasant stay, and the kids loved the pool.

The only thing good about this stay was the breakfast and the heated spa. The supposedly heated pool was not heated like advertised. I was eaten by bed bugs.

Worst a holiday inn I stayed in as I crossed the country in seven days. Definitely not a $200+ dollar a night hotel, more like $120. Broken tiles, scuffed walls, stale carpets…just terrible.

I’ve stayed at many Holiday Inn Expresses. Generally, they’re decent for the price. This one was not. The tile floor in the entry way and bathroom was uniformly sticky—so much so that I could feel and hear my shoes sticking to the floor with every step. It was so uniform that if must have been caused by some strange cleaner, not by a spill or missed spot. Neither of us felt like walking on it in bare feet and were glad we brought slippers. The fixtures and finishes are old and tired looking. The bathroom has no nightlight, and the bathroom door won’t stay ajar to let just a little light out through the night. The blackout curtains also won’t fully close, so brilliant floodlights from the parking lot shone in all night. That was all on top of Expedia using deceptive pricing displays on its website (showed price reduced to $103/night plus taxes and fees) and then again on the room selection page before showing a higher price ($139) at final checkout—meaning $158 after taxes and fees. By contrast, I’m staying tonight at a beautiful, sleek, CLEAN hotel in DC tonight for $101, including taxes and fees.

Stayed for one night and the hotel felt very clean. Didn't have that strange hotel odor that some places have. The staff was friendly. Our kids enjoyed the indoor pool. We arrived later in the evening, so it was nice that the pool was open till 11pm. I was happy with the room and would stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay at Holiday Inn Express La Vale MD. Hotel appears to be pretty new based on the condition of all the facilities. Breakfast was the best we’ve seen by far. Pool and hot tub area excellent. Room was nice, comfortable and spacious. Only negative was room being near breakfast area, lobby, ice machine and a large meeting - so there was some noise on occasion. Next time we stay there -and we will- we’ll ask for another location.

We were suppose to have a bigger room /suite and did not find out until we got there because of our dogs we would be downgraded to a smaller room. We usually have an extra bed but our boys had to sleep on a very small uncomfortable pull out couch. We have stayed at this location many times so to find out after we got there we would be crammed into one room instead of given another adjoining room to compensate was very uncomfortable and we will probably not be returning and finding a different hotel the next time we visit.
