This property was very clean, there wasn't any loitering or panhandling. The staff was very helpful and not that in your face kind of way. Although this stay was a last minute thing they had rooms available and perfect for us. Definitely going back to that hotel our next visit to wilmington

I spent one night on the first floor for $90 and managed to kill over 10 bugs before I went to bed. I woke up to more bugs crawling around and bites on me.

This is hands down one of the best hotels to stay in when visiting Cumberland, MD. Karan, Hector and Sam were amazing, all are very customer service driven. As for the actual hotel, it has been updated with modern amenities, everything was very clean and tidy (I even checked the mattress). It does have a weight room (you may wish to bring a portable fan for your comfort and a towel), swimming pool, laundry facility on site, conference room and a nice sized lobby for special events: showers, business/golf meetings. The location has a majestic mountain view from the parking lot. It is situated immediately off the interstate 68/70. Downtown Cumberland is about an 8 minute drive from the hotel.. take in a gourmet coffee and breakfast (Cafe Mark), for lunch sandwiches/subs made on a fresh hoagie roll by our own D'Atri family (grab a spirit while there), desserts (European and AJ cookies). Never leave Cumberland without trying a famous Coney Dog by Gino!(just dont ask for the recipe-and cash only) Want to remain close by: McDonalds, Subway and Loves gas station are just in the parking lot of the hotel (with EV charging). This is rated a 2-star hotel, but I would give it the feel of a 3-4 star due to the customer service, cleanliness and location. This would be a great budget savvy option to visit RockyGap. Kudos to the team Cumberland MD Sleep Inn! You have really stepped up the Sleep-Inn experience into a more mid-level stay while keeping it economical, classy and safe.
