The man checking us in was pleasant. We were looking for a place to stay that was close to the Artisan where we went for our New Year's Eve party. After researching, there were not many affordable choices with good reviews. I figured for one night, it can't be that bad. The room was small but did have a microwave... More

I only stayed here because I was tired and couldn't be bothered looking. It is way too expensive for what you get. But it is clean so no dramas there. The drain in the shower was clogged up however, so that made showering somewhat disgusting. Only stay here if you have to. More

My friend and I had planned to start a three day backpack in the Shenandoahs late in the day but had to change plans when it was thundering and lightning. We drove by several places in Luray (in the dark), and decided to risk this for the reasonable price (we paid $66). The others cost more than we wanted to... More

Between the horrible stink in the lobby, the cracked plate glass window (taped up) and the overall run-down look of the place - we KNEW this could NOT be good. They dorked up our reservation and gave us 'the next best room' - we asked to look at it first - OMG - what a DUMP!!!! 85 bucks for THIS!!!???... More

I booked through the National Park Reservation service for Shenandoah. I was very specific that I needed a room with two doubles and a roll-away bed. The reservation assistant said that she had secured me a room at Cardinal and I would be able to have a roll-away. I was in a bind and needed a room on short notice,... More

Booked room @ Cardinal Inn thru Nat'l Park Reservation service--feeling I could trust this website. The landscaping (or lack of) was the first clue--unmown lawn, weeds waist high around signs. Found doors to office were both locked but could see a bare foot resting on top of counter. After banging on door, the person connected to the foot popped up... More

The Indian gent who was locked in the office was not happy that we knocked and woke up up !!!!!!............Disgusting !!!! More

I stayed here two winters . It's not fancy but it does need a few upgrades. Heat makes too much noise, wifi only works outside of room, too cold this time of year! Price weekly needs to go down because during the winter there are no tourists around. So lower the price please! Owner is friendly and so is the... More

We wanted to see Luray Caverns, and this place suited our needs. It looked as if the Cardinal Inn was placed in the cradle of the mountains. Everywhere we turned, we saw the mountains - absolutely stunning! We liked the quietness, the easy commute to places we wanted to go, and the beautifully well-maintained grounds. We really liked the chairs... More
