Top hotels in Laurel
Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites Richmond West End by IHG
The room was nice and comfortable. Floors could have been a little cleaner. The a/c unit had a rattle in it and if you turned the thermostat off, it would still run. Those issues would not keep me away.

Omni Richmond Hotel
The room was very clean and comfortable, which made for a pleasant stay. I really enjoyed the indoor pool—it was a great feature. The only thing I wish the hotel had was a hot tub, as that would have made the experience even better. Overall, a good stay and I’d consider coming back.
