We recently stayed at the Historic Mimslyn Inn in Luray, Va. It is a beautifully restored inn that is cared for by an attentive and welcoming staff. Dining on the front porch was very relaxing after an afternoon of visiting the caverns which are just down the road. Our only regret is that we only stayed for one night and... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Mimslyn Inn in early June. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch and sipping a glass of Virginia wine! The rooms are small and the bathrooms are tiny--but that is to be expected in a hotel of this "vintage". If you plan on spending time in your room, upgrade to a suite. The... More

If you wish to step back in time, let's say 100 years, this is the place. It really feels like the roaring twenties, and in mint condition. We stayed only one night so we would have short drive to Luray Caverns the next morning, and really didn't do the Mimslyn the time it deserved. The current owners have lovingly restored... More

The Mimslyn is a grand old hotel that was once in the country, but the town of Luray has grown to surround it, though it's a ten-minute walk to Luray's historic section. A major expansion of the county hospital blocks what was must have been a sumptuous view west, though front rooms still have mountain views of varying quality. We... More

We stayed here because of its proximity to Shenandoah National Park. The location turned out to be pretty good. I expected more for the price of the hotel. It is nice, but the room was tiny, and bathroom was so small that I think could stand in the middle and touch all four walls. The bar in the basement was... More

We stayed at The Mimslyn Inn on a mid-week Living Social special, that included a wine tasting. The Inn itself is of 1890's vintage and has a lovely traditional feel while the amenities are decently updated. Lobby is attractive. The rooms, while small, are comfortable and clean. There is a Very Small workout area in the basement with a few... More

Stayed here on a USA tour for 3 days. It is a very attractive hotel set on a hill back from the main road through Luray. The room was nicely furnished and clean, we had no noise overnight so slept soundly. The Circa 31 restaurant, which is the hotel's fine dining restaurant was not open (too early in the season?)...

We could not have asked for a better place to celebrate my husband's return from Kuwait with his family. The staff was very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The service in main dinning room was very good. The Inn is located within walking distance from downtown shops and restuarants. The Inn is quiet & peaceful, beautifully maintained and decorated.

Spent a night at the Mimslyn Inn on our way to Luray Caverns. We were greeted by their friendly staff the moment we arrived. Checking in was easy. The room, bed, bathroom were perfect and the building itself is beautiful. If I had any complaint, it was that the meal at the casual restaurant down stairs was just mediocre. The... More
