Mimslyn Inn

Great location for Shenandoah and the caverns etc. We had a suite at the front of the hotel that was very spacious. It could do with a little TLC (fresh paint and bathroom grout) and the the shower was very weak. ||||The TV arrangement was a little strange. It is in a cupboard on the side wall. It pulls out and can be rotated towards the bed or the sofa. BUT the cable box remains in the cupboard. So you have to lean out of the RH side of bed to change channels etc. ||||The main restaurant doesn't open every night but the Speakeasy in the basement serves great food and drinks and had live music on 2 of the 3 nights we used it. ||||The WiFi required my iPhone to reconnect every time I used it and quite often also needing to re register.||||When being served butter at breakfast or dinner it is in lovely little swirls. Looks nice but more needed!||||And someone must like Frank Sinatra because he could be heard in the reception area and main restaurant (used for breakfast) throughout our entire four night stay More...

Get a suite! Me and my wife booked the last room they had, due to a late weekend getaway. When we got to the hotel, the front desk was friendly and gave us our key card. The room we had was a queen bed and was smaller than any other room I have ever stayed at in a hotel. We received a call from the front desk and we asked if anything came available we would like a different room that we would pay the difference. By the end of the night we got upgraded to the Roosevelt suite. This room as amazing. Next time we come we will book in advance to get this room again. Amazing. Maybe put a tv in the bathroom lol More...

My husband and I spent a 3 Day weekend at the Inn and were very impressed with the service. The staff were very attentive. We particularly enjoyed our waitress, Cassie, who engaged in such stimulating conversation while providing excellent service. The Sunday brunch was note worthy, with delicious home made bread and desserts and a piano recital while we dined. Will definitely return! More...

Had a lovely weekend at the Mimslyn Inn... I was traveling solo and felt very safe at this hotel. The hotel staff was very kind, and the room size (stayed in the Blue Ridge Suite) was perfect. It's quite a cozy property with a lot of outdoor seating, which I loved and it was only minutes (walking) from Luray. More...

We were greeted by a lovely lady at the front desk for check in. We stayed in the Stoneyman Cottage and were very pleasantly shocked at how nice and comfortable it was. Very clean and spacious. The morning of our scheduled check out it was raining pretty hard. They allowed for us to check out 2 hrs past the 11am checkout time. The on site "Speakeasy" was quite good. Highly recommended!

While visiting the Shenandoah area for the fall foliage we decided on the Mimslyn Inn as it is affiliated with the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown,WV where have have frequented a number of times over the years. ||The Mimslyn appears to be an older Greek Revival style hotel which had been renovated over the years.||The lobby and public areas are classy and appear to be popular for weddings and other events and the Inn is probably the top of the line in Luray.||We had breakfast in the lobby restaurant called Circa'31and it was very good as well as reasonable. There is a buffet but we opted for cook to order omelets' and were very happy with both the food and service.||Dinner at the Speakeasy Pub downstairs was both reasonable and good and the location was the best on a rainy night.||I cannot say enough about the professionalism and friendliness of the entire staff beginning with the front desk, the wait staff and the housekeeping staff who all work hard for the guests.||||The room (Historic Room) itself was starting to show some normal wear and tear and my sense is that it is scheduled for a facelift sometime in the future. It wasn't any problem just a few things that we noticed which is normal in any hotel.||One thing to point out is that the King bed had a very large headboard and foot board which took up a lot of extra space making maneuvering a little tight.||The television could have been attached to the wall instead of being located in the enormous entertainment center which would have freed up some space as well perhaps with the large night tables being replaced with smaller tables to open up the room a little.||The hotel was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable which added to a very restful night.||||All in all a very pleasant stay with a very nice staff and a very good value.

On our trip to Laray caverns we stayed in the Mimslyn Inn. From a friendly greeting upon our arrival we knew our stay would be wonderful. Our room was a king size bed which was very comfortable. In the room we were offered a bottle of wine, opener and two engraved glasses for a small fee to relax in the room. At dinner we just went down to the restaurant for dinner which offered a good selection of dinner foods which were very tasty. Homemade potato chips and local beers are always a hit when starting a meal. The next morning we had coffee and homemade muffins in the foyer then off to the caverns. Returning in the evening after a full day of touring we found ourselves down stairs again for dinner because our previous nights dinner was so good. It was so easy to dine and have a couple of drinks and not worry about driving back to the hotel. Checked out to another friendly employee left us wishing to travel back to the Mimslyn in the future.

I stayed at the Mimslyn Inn for one night while visiting Luray Caverns and Shenandoah National Park. The hotel was impressive when making the drive up the grassy hill and when entering the lobby with the Frank Sinatra music playing. I stay in the smallest and least expensive room on the third floor with a full size bed with wood frame. It had double doors leading to a balcony, but it had a deadlock on the doors preventing access. Instead there was a large outdoor terrace access on the same floor shared by all guests. It faced the rear of the hotel and the pool. The room was very quiet and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was a large for this small room. Most of the room was clean, but the bathroom was in serious need of dusting. There was a lot of dust and someone’s hair on top of the door casing. The baseboard was dusty and had a prior guest's hair sticking to it. That spoiled an otherwise pleasant stay. If the housekeeping issues are addressed, I would recommend this hotel. More...

Second time staying here. While not an excellent property, it is pretty awesome. Majestic appearing, elegant circa 1920 hotel. Welcomed by Tim the doorman, every staff member was friendly, cordial and pleasant. Tons of history in this hotel that is fun to read about. We have stayed in Roosevelt Room which has a sitting area with fireplace and a king sized bed in the sleeping area. Wonderfully decorated and nicely appointed. We saw the cottages behind the hotel which looked charming and I hope to stay there sometime. We had all our meals on the front porch which was delightful. The morning buffet was good but very reasonably priced. We just love coming here. It feels like we are stepping back in time. If you find yourself nearby Luray, stay the night. You'll enjoy it!

Sitting atop a perfectly manicured lawn is the historic Mimslyn Inn. Serving guests since 1931, this grand dame still offers charm and grace. It was updated in 2008, but the rooms could stand a refreshing. ||We visited for one night and were assigned room 211. Upon entering, we were overwhelmed with a musty, moldy smell. We reported the smell to the front desk and someone came and sprayed an air freshener which only masked the smell. ||We were eventually moved and upgraded to a suite by a young man, Aaron. He was very helpful and understanding. Aaron went out of his way to see that we were completely satisfied. It was nice to feel appreciated and it was obvious Aaron had a good grasp of the service industry. If he chooses, he will go far in the business. The Mimslyn Inn is very fortunate to have Aaron. ||We didn't eat dinner at the inn, but we dined in the main dining room for breakfast. The food arrived as ordered and hot so we didn't have any complaints. Our server was friendly and efficient. ||We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in large rockers, sipping wine and talking with other guests. ||I would recommend the Mimslyn Inn. If you visit, ask for Aaron. I highly recommend him! More...

We were looking intently to stay in Luray due to the Caverns and coming out of Shenandoah for the day. The Mimslyn Inn was without a doubt the best option in Luray. The rooms were somewhat small, but it’s a historic inn and travelers of yesteryear were very different. The A/C unit could use some work, but that can be said about most hotels. The pool seemed nice - I really appreciated the salt water and green initiatives. The front porch entertainment/happy hour was enjoyable as well. The staff lit the fire pit out back for us in the later evening. Overall it was a nice stay. The staff was truly exceptional and outgoing. More...

We were traveling as two adults and a toddler, We stayed in the Lewis Mountain Cottage for two nights. Our stay was great and we would definitely return. ||||The cottages are a short distance from the actual Inn. Our cottage appeared to be newly built, with a great front porch and full of modern amenities. There was a kitchen with a full size fridge and a stove. The bathroom was nice, with a jetted tub and an ample hot water supply (much appreciated after a day of hiking Shenandoah). We were able to park right in front of our cottage, which made unpacking easy and convenient.||||There is a pool near the cottages, and also another one at the Inn. In addition, there was a small shed near the pool that contained games. There was also a hammock and areas to sit outside. The grounds of the Inn are beautiful and it is easy to see why people have their weddings and events here. The inside of the Inn was quite elegant, and made us glad that we chose the cottages for our stay with our (loud and energetic) toddler.||||However, there were a few things that we didn't love: our bed was not level, and sleeping on a slant was uncomfortable and unsettling. Our door had only a standard lock in the doorknob (keypad with code), and no deadlock. This was a little strange for us, since all the hotels we stay in have some kind of deadlock. Our room's hair dryer was missing and so we called the front desk to ask for a replacement. We tipped the person who brought it to us, and he showed his displeasure with the amount, which was pretty rude.||||Overall, we loved our stay here and would return. More...
