We enjoyed our stay at the Mimslyn Inn and would gladly stay there again. The inn was clean, the grounds were beautiful, and every staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and welcoming.

We chose the Mimslyn for two main reasons: its historic character and its convenient location. It was less than a five-minute drive from Luray Caverns, which was the main reason for our trip, and it was also close to downtown Luray.

Guests should keep in mind that this is a historic inn, so the experience is a little different from staying in a modern hotel. Our room did not have a mini-fridge, microwave, or coffee maker. However, a shared refrigerator and microwave were available for guests, and complimentary coffee was provided in the mornings.

The room also had what I would describe as a noticeable “historic” smell. We did not consider it a bad thing—it was part of the character and charm of an older building—but guests who are accustomed to newer hotels may want to be aware of it.

The inn is technically within walking distance of downtown, but the hills make it more of a hike than a casual stroll. Driving may be preferable for guests who have mobility concerns or simply want a more relaxing trip into town.

Overall, the Mimslyn Inn is a beautiful, historic property with excellent service and a convenient location. We appreciated its character and would stay there again.

A grand looking hotel from the outside. Very tired on the inside. A spacious room but not overly clean (sofa bed was crummy).
Lovely pool area and a nice restaurant (Speakeasy). Free parking.

We really used this as a base and it is pricey for that. If not spending much time in the hotel, I’d suggest a cheaper motel.

We loved the beer spot nearby with live music.

The Mimslyn Inn was not first choice. I had tried to book the Hillside Hotel because it was advertised as having an outdoor pool. However, after completing booking, Hillside sent a note saying that their pool was down indefinitely for repairs.
The Mimslyn Inn became a \"happy accident\" as the place is super charming. Built 1931, the decor is period accurate. We booked a Suite, which was spacious and comfortable WITH ONE EXCEPTION: As a suite it incorporated bedding for up to four occupants. It did, however, half the bedding was a pull-out sleep sofa. To my dismay, sleeper sofa technology has not evolved and has never been designed with human anatomy/comfort in mind. Steel framing impinges precisely where one lays one's shoulders; the net experience is agonizing. No worries, though, as my clever and resourceful wife immediately suggested simply removing the mattress from the frame, stowing the bedframe and sleeping \"futon\" style with the mattress on the floor. Problem solved. To our >very< husky stepson and grandson, we granted use of the king-size bed, which they gratefully enjoyed. In sum, my earnest recommendation to the Mimslyn management is that they ditch the sleep sofa(s) and replace them with a standard queen-size bed. Given the generous size of our suite, the addition of a regulation bed in place of a sofa would have been entirely acceptable. Beyond that, I would recommend the Mimslyn Inn to any traveler looking for an alternative to the boxy, budget-level hotel.

We only stayed one night but had a wonderful time. The front desk staff was extremely nice and was able to get us into our room a little bit before standard check-in time.
We ate dinner in the speakeasy and the food was delicious the bill was very reasonable.
The only reason I took off one star for the property condition is because it’s an older hotel. But to be honest, the character you get from an older hotel is better and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We will be going back

The Mimslyn Inn was a wonderful choice! Excellent staff, different entertainment options, nice restaurants, beautiful decor. My meal in the Speakeasy wasn't the best (the fried green tomatoes' tomatoes were hard and flavorless), but everything else was great. The blackberry ice cream was divine! Every staff member with whom I interacted was poured, respectful, and efficient. I'd return in a heartbeat!

Staff was very friendly and the pool was refreshing on the hot day.

However the bed wasn't very comfortable, the air conditioner was very loud even on low but the worst part was that the fire alarm for the whole hotel went off twice very early in the morning so we also were awakened very early on top of a bad nights sleep.

Also, if you're considering staying on a week night, know that nearly everything closes by 5PM including restaurants and some aren't open on weekdays at all.

We stayed in a two-room suite. The sitting room smelled very musty. We had to keep the door closed and we couldn't use that room. Fortunately, the bedroom didn't smell. When we arrived, there was no parking to be found because the property had a wedding. We ended up partially parking on the lawn.

I am a frequent traveler and can say from experience that the room we were given was not up the expectations. Mimslyn is advertised as a quality hotel yet our bathroom was not clean. The shower floor was dirty and we complained to the front desk but we were told they were fully booked and could not move us. The desk clerk made no effort to assist us. The bar food was terrible but the Sunday brunch was worth the cost. That is our only recommendation.

I was traveling alone and needed help with my luggage. I was assisted from my car to my room with all of my luggage. All of the staff that I encountered during my 2 night/3day stay were friendly and helpful. My room and the building was all kept clean. I took advantage of the hot tub, the pool and for the first time in my life a even took advantage of the spa on the premises and had a message! It was wonderful!!! All of the meals that I had in the lounge or the restaurant for breakfast were delicious. I was very satisfied with my stay and it was well worth it especially for the price I paid. I was scheduled to stay at a different place that costs more and spent one terrible night there and got my money back and got out of there fast and found this wonderful place for less money and I am so pleased! I would come back again if I travel to VA again. Everything was so close to the Hotel, Luray Caverns, the zoo, horseback riding, Church on Sunday and even the train museum in the visitors center in town. Then went hiking on Skyline Drive. A great vacation in a few days as I traveled through the area on my 2 week vacation around the Eastern States.

What a hidden gem in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. This property deserves more than 5 stars. I would give it 10. No big box hotels with the usual. The Mislyn Inn is an incredible find in class, value and amenities from the \"Historic Hotels of America.\" These smaller independent hotels are trying to compete with the big boys by providing beautiful accommodations wrapped in history. A sweeping staircase, majestic columns, gorgeous gardens. I felt like I was in \"Gone With The Wind\". My room was clean, quite large, beautifully decorated and at a price lower than Comfort or Hampton Inn. Incredible!! The Speakeasy on the basement level served delicious food at value prices. So wonderful to find a hotel of such great value that made me feel like a movie star. Kind staff, comfy room and such beauty from my window and the front patio rocking in a chair with a cool glass of Virginia white wine. I am super fussy when I travel. This place hit the bulls eye.

This is a quaint and lovely inn tight next door to UVA campus and within walking distance of lots of restaurants plus the market street mall area. The inn keeper, Jake, was super welcoming and helped us carry our luggage in. The staff were all lovely. The room was very clean, comfortable, spacious, and beautiful. It was awesome to have the breakfast vouchers included with the stay for the downstairs Farmbell kitchen breakfast very convenient. Overall this inn is small, private, and an excellent deal. I would gladly book there again. This place was infinitely more comfortable to stay at then the larger chain hotels I've been too.

We stayed for 4 nights in June. The Mimslyn is a historic hotel in a convenient location, but the room lacked the charm I expected.

The good:
The facade and lobby are charming.
The location is convenient to attractions and a short walk to Luray’s shops and restaurants. We liked the Alexander’s (diner), Il Vesuvio (pizza), and Main Street Flavors (ice cream).
We did not go to Circa, but The Speakeasy was fine and convenient.
There is an outdoor pool and hot tub with towels.
The room was very clean and included daily housekeeping.
Parking is easy.

The less-good
The room’s air conditioner is incredibly loud. So loud that it was hard to have a conversation across the room, let alone sleep.
The room lacked charm and style. Obviously they’re going for historic, but it missed the mark. Flooring didn’t match, walls were textured and orange, art was wrong scale and not centered, cheap shower curtain, uncomfortable furniture, undersized TV, plastic accessories I expected much more for a historic hotel at this price point.
The most annoying thing was that the sheets either didn’t fit the bed or were put on wrong. I slept directly on the plastic mattress cover every night.
The pool and hot tub were nice after we complained and they cleaned them. But the pool space is really neglected: mismatched furniture, umbrellas on the ground, moldy fence.
Rooms do not have a mini fridge. There is a shared mini fridge and microwave on the third floor which was not convenient.

We stayed in June from Tuesday to Saturday. While overall our stay was okay, there were some issues. At check-in we were told we had to pay a $44 historic preservation fee, which was not previously disclosed. The room was large, but there were some issues. First, the room did not have an in-room coffee/tea maker. Even the most basic hotel/motel rooms have coffeemakers nowadays There is free coffee/tea bags available in the lobby until 9 pm, but the coffee and hot water is in thermo-jugs, instead of actual coffee makers so it was often luke-warm, especially later times in the day. The in-room television is small and so far from the bed that the remote won't work, and viewing is difficult.
The bathroom is large, but the lighting is very dim and badly located. It has double-sinks with individual mirrors, but the lighting is so dim that I had difficulty shaving the facial areas I wanted to shave without shaving the parts I did not.
There were two service failures. Our first morning, there was no hot water in the bathroom. The front desk said they were having boiler issues

Charming old hotel, nice lobby, rooms are clean except for a dead bug on our bathroom floor, staff were nice. Our biggest complaint was that the exterior of the building, particularly the windows, needed pressure cleaning desperately. Room window had lots of bird poop on it. A lot of exterior windows and stone work were coated in thick spiderwebs (especially the windows at end of the hallways). Metal chairs at the gazebo were peeling and covered in spiderwebs so we couldn’t sit down. The paint on spiral handrail going from the first floor to the basement area was peeling too. Speakeasy was nice and dinner was good. Breakfast good too.

Beautiful setting with fantastic space in front to sit, relax, read et al. My room was as pictured in the booking information and in keeping with a historic facility. Parking is limited if there are other events going on there but they are fine with parking along the entrance/exit streets. Breakfast setting is beautiful; food was average. No substitutions rule was off-putting. I didn't get the feeling that people working there were very happy but they did the work well. Entertainment settings are within and beside the front lobby which can be loud and somewhat uncomfortable when coming and going when not part of the events. I'd recommend requesting a room towards the ends of the building to avoid the events sounds. Also recommend asking for room to back of building to avoid bright front lights shining in the room and the sounds of people arriving. Fantastic to have spa downstairs and nice bistro like restaurant as well. Overall, I'm glad I chose this facility.

Based on the online ratings we had high expectations for the Mimslyn Inn. We were a bit disappointed. The good and the not so good: The rooms are vey spacious however they do not come with a micro fridge or microwave. I cannot remember the last time I stayed at a hotel or inn where they were not provided. NOTE: A community microwave and fridge were available on the third floor.

The staff was attentive and we enjoyed the two meals that we had at the Speakeasy Restaurant. During our stay the other restaurant was not open for lunch or dinner.

We enjoyed the use of the hot tub which was kept clean and the perfect temperature.

On the downside, several of the carpets at the Inn are in need of some serious cleaning - something I was not expecting at an Inn this highly rated.

All in all, we enjoyed our stay - the Inn appears to be one of the few upscale places to stay in Luray.

They say it has luxury accommodations but that is far from the truth. The pillow top mattress was missing the pillow top and laying in the bed made you sink and roll to the center. It was the worst mattress I have ever slept on in a hotel. Don't get me started on the pillows. These were either flat and hard or lumpy and unable to fluff. The restaurants had really great food so sad that the hotel has been neglected for years. People also seemed annoyed if you asked for something which is the opposite of Southern Hospitality they claim they have. Place has a lot of potential if the hotel manager even cared or tried.

The hotel looks beautiful on the outside. We checked into our room and the minute I opened the room door all I could smell was mold/mildew. The window was painted shut. I went down to the desk and asked for a room with a window that opened, they had one available. The exterior of the window was covered in black mold/mildew. But the room didn't smell horrible. There were no bath towels provided in the room. Which I hadn't noticed until the morning when I was ready to shower.
There was a nice \"speakeasy\" in the lowest floor of the hotel.

The staff was not friendly. We were waiting about 30 min in bar to be seated and reminded a stuff 3 times! We explained our friends about to leave and we can seat instead. They said no. We have to wait. As soon as our friends left they said “oh yes, now we will clean up your table”. Nonsense. The air conditioner is too noisy. Impossible to sleep with that sound. Two kids of friends of mine got stuck in the elevator and spent their about 25 min. The elevator repair man said that’s it’s been a wild and he doesn’t remember how system works. So our friend helped him to open the elevator.
The experience could be much more better

We loved our stay at the Mimslyn Inn! The hotel is beautiful and charming, and it made for a very relaxing stay! The staff was very nice and helpful and I loved that there is constant free coffee in the lobby. I spent some time each day just sitting in the lobby and patio, enjoying the music or the mountain views, sipping coffee.
Unfortunately the main dining room was closed for dinner both nights, but the Speakeasy was open and the main restaurant was still open for breakfast. Everything we ordered at the Speakeasy was delicious and I loved that there were rotating daily surprise specials. Only con is that there are no mini fridges in the rooms, but there are ice machines so we made due.

We’ll absolutely stay here again if we’re ever back in the area!
