Post-renovation CONFIRMED by an August 2025 5-star reviewer: 'this stay was the first after they completed their renovation. They've done a nice job. Hotel feels fresh. Room was clean and beds comfortable. Breakfast was better than average for this tier of hotel. All of the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful.' May 2025 5-star praise: 'perfect traveling hotel. Super nice front desk employees. Very welcoming, they even called to make sure our room was perfect. Security officer patrolling the area, protecting visitors vehicles. We slept very well here.' CANDID historical flag: a March 2024 1-star 'avoid; no water and no notice' report ('water shut off in the morning an hour before checkout with no notice') pre-renovation - post-renovation reviews are strongly positive. Best for Charleston-metro business travelers, Yeager Airport travelers wanting a chain-value overnight, Mardi Gras Casino gaming visitors wanting a non-casino sleep, youth-tournament families and IHG loyalty travelers.

Best for Mardi Gras Casino gaming visitors wanting on-site casino access without leaving the property, Charleston-metro group tour and conference travelers, casino-hospitality travelers with shuttle-bus needs and post-renovation-room travelers.

Mid-renovation status CONFIRMED by a May 2026 4-star ('this hotel badly needs a renovation and indeed they are in the middle of one') and a June 2026 4-star ('hotel outdated but is getting renovation in Dec').

Things to do in Cross Lanes

Beyond the hotel room

Mardi Gras Casino & Resort on-site at 1 Greyhound Drive is the marquee Cross Lanes draw - a full-service West Virginia gaming casino with slot machines, table games, poker room and the historic Tri-State Greyhound Park racing heritage (Cross Lanes was one of West Virginia's greyhound racing centers). The property houses the French Quarter Lounge restaurant plus additional bars and a shuttle service.

Downtown Charleston about 15 minutes east is the state capital and the primary attraction cluster - the gold-domed West Virginia State Capitol on the Kanawha River (a 1932 Cass Gilbert-designed capitol modeled loosely on the US Capitol), the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences (Charleston's downtown science + arts center with planetarium), Charleston Coliseum for concerts and family shows, downtown restaurants and shopping. Charleston FestivALL every June is the largest downtown arts festival.

Kanawha State Forest about 30 minutes southeast of Cross Lanes offers 9,000-plus acres of hiking, mountain-biking and waterfall trails just outside Charleston - Middle Fork Trail, Overlook Rock and CCC-era stone-and-log park structures.

Yeager Airport (CRW) about 15 minutes east is Charleston's commercial airport with American, Delta, United and Spirit service (the runway is famously carved into a Kanawha Mountain plateau).

Nitro Marketplace shopping about 10 minutes south along I-64 offers a suburban shopping cluster, and the historic chemical-manufacturing city of Nitro (founded during World War I) has a small Nitro World War I Museum. Bridge Day at New River Gorge on the third Saturday of October about 60 minutes south is the world's largest legal BASE-jumping festival - Cross Lanes is a practical overnight-and-drive base for Bridge Day travelers.

Beyond Cross Lanes, quick day trips include Charleston for the state capital cluster (15 minutes east), Dunbar for the Holiday Inn Express Charleston-Dunbar top-rated IHG (10 minutes east), Hurricane for the Hampton Inn Hurricane midway to Huntington (15 minutes west) and Elkview for the Hampton Inn I-79 north base (25 minutes northeast).

For couples

Why a Cross Lanes hot tub suite works for romance

For couples, Cross Lanes is not a marquee West Virginia romantic couples destination - it is a practical Charleston-metro NW I-64 chain-hotel cluster. Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston NW - Cross Lanes (4.2, 194 reviews) at 410 New Goff Mountain Road is the practical couples pick - a post-renovation 4-star IHG chain hotel with cleanliness 4.6, rooms 4.5 and sleep quality 4.6 excellent subratings and an indoor pool at $146 nightly. Mardi Gras Casino & Resort at 1 Greyhound Drive is the alternative for gaming couples wanting on-site casino access, post-renovation rooms and dinner at the French Quarter Lounge at $131-$141 nightly. Neither hotel has an in-room jacuzzi. For a genuine in-room whirlpool experience, drive 3 hours northeast to Martinsburg for the Holiday Inn Martinsburg REGIONAL in-room whirlpool marquee (CONFIRMED king-jetted-tub rooms per multiple 2022 reviewers), or 3 hours east to Berkeley Springs for Coolfont Resort main-lodge in-room jacuzzi rooms in the Cacapon Mountains. For a closer romantic escape drive 60 minutes south to White Sulphur Springs and The Greenbrier (an iconic National Historic Landmark resort with full spa amenities) for a genuine luxury spa weekend.

Many of the Cross Lanes properties below offer extras on request — champagne service, rose-petal turn-down, or late check-out. Mention your occasion at booking; most front desks try to help.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston Nw

4.4·731 Google reviews

"Wow! Everyone was so happy, engaging, and friendly. The room was clean and in great condition. The breakfast dining area was clean and so attractive! The food was hot and very neatly presented - the attendant was smiling and engaging. I can’t recommend it enough!"

— Dianne Yaussy, in the last week · 5/5

"Clean, comfy rooms! Excellent customer service! Hot, fresh breakfast. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that the pool area is suffocatingly hot and humid. The pool is not refreshing. It’s as warm as a jacuzzi. This definitely needs to be addressed."

— Emily Alexander, a month ago · 4/5

Mardi Gras Casino & Resort

"Stopped to stay over night on the way home from the Carolinas. Staff was nice and friendly, with the exception of the guard into the casino, not bad, but not friendly. EXCELLENT breakfast provided! A rarity for a casino. (Take a croissant, they are fresh and scrumptious!)"

— Fran Wolters, 3 weeks ago · 5/5

"A great way to spend a cold, rainy fall day. The staff is super friendly and the food was excellent. I highly recommend this place. It's clean, and there was plenty to do, from slots to high-end tables to horse racing. It was a great afternoon. Didn't stay at the hotel, but the outside looked nice, and the pictures of the room looked relaxing and cozy."

— Darrell Adkins, 3 months ago · 5/5

Wyndham Garden Cross Lanes Charleston

"Very clean room. Employees were very friendly. My only complaint is that the bathroom door wouldn't latch and close all the way. The indoor pool area was nice. I like they have adults only from 12pm to 2am. Breakfast was the usual hotel fair but coffee was excellent. I'd definitely recommend the Wyndham and stay here again."

Tub types, explained

What's the difference between a jacuzzi, whirlpool, and soaking tub?

Jacuzzi

Technically a brand name, but used generically for any jetted tub. In hotel listings, "jacuzzi suite" almost always means a private in-room tub with built-in air or water jets. Heat is usually preset; jets are user-controlled.

Whirlpool

Functionally identical to a jacuzzi — water jets circulate heated water for a massage effect. The term is more common at Marriott, Hilton, and Wyndham brands. Most "whirlpool suites" hold two adults comfortably.

Soaking tub

Deeper than a standard bathtub, usually 18–22 inches, but with no jets. Common in boutique and luxury hotels — quieter, more spa-like, and better for a long hot soak than the jet-driven hum of a jacuzzi.

Hot tub

In strict use, a standalone heated tub holding 100°F+ water. In hotel marketing, often used interchangeably with jacuzzi or whirlpool. A genuine in-room "hot tub" with full thermostat control is rare outside cabin-style resorts.

Every listing on this page specifies which type you'll find in the room. We list only properties with the tub in your room — not in a shared pool area or the lobby spa.

Why trust us

Hand-verified. No AI filler.

Every hotel on this page has been personally verified to have a private, in-room hot tub or jacuzzi — not a shared pool tub, not a bathroom soaker, not a spa amenity you have to book. We cross-check three sources for every listing: the hotel's own room photos and descriptions, recent guest reviews on TripAdvisor and Google, and direct confirmation from the hotel where unclear. We don't take payment for placement, and we don't generate listings with AI. If a hotel's tub status changes or a property closes, the page updates the next time we re-verify the city (Dothan was last checked May 2026).
