This is our 3rd Spring Break escape, and we love this gem! Thank you to everyone who makes our visits special. The attention, time, professionalism, care and warmth are phenomenal. Kudos to our greeters and check in people-- we appreciated being lucky enough to extend our stay a night this trip. Our rooms are always clean. Housekeeping makes sure our room is white glove ready, and they instantly have extra towels and toiletries as needed Thank you, Housekeeping. The food! Circa 31's breakfast is a perfect way to start the day, and we finish with a phenomenal dinner at the Speakeasy. Fresh, flavorful and fun. We have eaten so many meals here-- best service in any restaurant we have enjoyed. Thank you to the chefs, prep cooks, and kind servers. Modern amenities contained within this beautiful historic Mimslyn Inn ensure creature comforts as well. The Mimslyn Inn's management team has much to celebrate. We appreciate you all.

Good View, Friendly Staff ... Tired Accomodations

We arrived at 2 pm, in advance of the hotel’s stated 4 pm check-in time. The front desk needed to “Check with Management” to ascertain if the room was ready. A ten-minute delay ensued, but then we were pleased to learn that the room had passed a second inspection to confirm that it was ready. A bad first impression! The room felt as if we were entering a sauna! Heat on, sunny day, window shades up in this south and west facing room and outside temps in the high sixties. Although we were pleased with the space in the suite, the overall impression was old and tired: 1. The sofa cushions were so old that one’s legs touched the frame when arising. 2. Neither bedside lamp switches were operable (only a wall switch that controlled both). 3. The bed sagged … time for a replacement! 4. Sink drains did not close properly. 5. No shower curtain in sight. On the other hand, our experience with the staff was quite positive. We enjoyed the property’s views and can imagine a lively poolside vibe for summertime visitors. At the price point of this property, our expectations are higher. We will not return.

I did not stay at this hotel but wanted people to be aware of their business practice we had called for a murder mystery weekend and was quoted a price the next day i went to book it and they wanted to add an additional 500.00 to the price. So beware

My husband and I stayed in room 223 on a weekend trip to Luray. Our visit was short, but the hotel staff was welcoming. The hotel is located very close to Luray Caverns and Shenandoah National Park. The room and bathroom were on the small side, but comfortable. There is a pool, hot tub, Spa, speakeasy and restaurant within the hotel, but we did not stay long enough to enjoy these amenities offered.

Great place for a "murder mystery" weekend.

We were there recently for our 4th or 5th Murder Mystery Weekend. As always, we had a delightful time, though we didn't solve the mystery. Room was clean and comfortable. Food, including buffett breakfasts and lunches plus a plated dinner Saturday night were great. Staff at every encounter were pleasant and professional. We'll be back.
