Our stay at the Mimslyn was just perfect after an entire weekend of sight seeing in virginia. The Hotel is beautiful and sits up on a large hill overlooking the Shenandoah Valley and Luray. Our suite was very reasonably priced at around $130 and included a jacuzzi, king sized bed, and fireplace. A huge selling point is the speakeasy downstairs... More

Had a wonderful weekend January 2012 at the Mymslyn Inn in Luray. We got one of the large rooms on the 1st level, what a great room! A nice cheese plate was waiting for us in the room, and the staff at check- in were totally cheerful and helpful. We looked around and had a drink downstairs at the Speakeasy... More

When visiting family in Luray, we try to stay at the Inn. I agree with the comments above that the food in the dining room is not very good at all, steak is not as advertised, and way over price for less-than-average quality. Also, the dining room is quite full on Sundays as it is a popular place for the... More

We spent two nights in Luray with our college aged children, and the Mimslyn was perfect. Our vegetarian daughter's needs were graciously accommodated in the Speakeasy, where we enjoyed live music and local beer. The outdoor hottub in the brisk freezing evening will be a fond memory, and there were plenty of places to sit and talk. Our kids spent... More

What an elegant & fun place to stay in the quaint town of Luray; the people who work there are part of the formula that makes this place special. From the well appointed lobby with fireplace, grand piano, spiral stairway, and adjoining formal dining room, as well as the casual Speakeasy bar & restaurant downstairs, this is a real gem.... More

We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant stay. We spent a night at the Mimslyn Inn a number of years ago and recently visited again. The staff couldn't have been more polite and courteous. Our room was beautiful and cozy. The dining hall was wonderfully lit and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning. More

I can not find a thing to complain about. Everything was perfect! The food was very good. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast the next day. My group and I were here to celebrate two of our group birthdays. My room was beautiful and quiet! So roomy, I could have had a party in it. The hospitality was above reproach.... More

I was so impressed with the Mimslyn Inn exterior and lobby. In November,my husband and I were sightseeing and spent some time in Luray, VA. The hotel was decorated for Thanksgiving giving it some extra color. The hotel staff was friendly and the hotel was very clean. Our room, however, was very small. If someone sat at the desk, the...

Myself, my wife, my son, uncle and cousins dined at a restaurant in Luray - the Speakeasy in the Mimslyn Inn last night. The food... I use that term loosely... was prepared without any love... ANY love. One dish - Talapia with jasmine rice, ordered by Diane and Bob was horrible. I ordered a grilled Ribeye with mashed potatoes and... More
