Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chesapeake

About The Hotel

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chesapeake by IHG is a 3.3-rated (161 reviews) value IHG on Gum Road near I-664 in western Chesapeake, with a pool, free breakfast, fitness center and pet-friendly rooms. The softest scores of the Chesapeake cluster carry a candid flag pattern: a 2024 stay reported a fire-alarm panel showing a red light and the alarm sounding every night of a four-night stay along with a clogged shower drain, and other reviews cite damp/smelly rooms with air-conditioning that needed attention and rude front-desk staff. Not the usual Holiday Inn Express experience per multiple reviewers. Set expectations before booking.

What Guests Are Saying

“This place is a gem for the price. Nick and staff were so nice friendly and accommodating. Unlike other hotels they clean the rooms daily. Breakfast in the morning was hot and delicious and included in the room price. I’ve been coming to Chesapeake for 30 years to visit family. This is the place to stay!!!” — nataliev0128, 5 stars

“Very clean. Looks like they recently laid new carpeting. Very friendly receptionist. Room was big and clean. Breakfast was ok. Standard fare. Conveniently located off of the freeway and near lots of restaurants. Like all Holiday Inn Express properties it’s very basic but fine for one night.” — Cynthia, 5 stars

“The room was comfortable and clean. The staff was rude and paid little attention to the customers for each time you went to the desk the attendant was on the phone. Even in the breakfast area the staff set at the table not tending to the kitchen” — Ernestine W., 4 stars
