The inn looks like a southern plantation sitting on a hill. It is beautifully restored inside and out. The front desk persons were friendly and helpful. We entered one of the beautiful suites and were greeted by freezing cold air; it definitely distracted us from our lovely surroundings. Since we had a reservation, it would have been so much nicer if the heat had been turned on before our arrival. The gas fireplace did not work but it was quickly fixed. While waiting for the room to warm up we checked out the only hotel restaurant that was open, Speakeasy. It is a sports bar type restaurant with three TVs. We did decide to eat there and the food and service were excellent. Our room had a very comfortable king bed with very nice linens. The bathroom was large with two sinks, a jet tub, magnifying mirror and best of all a ceiling heater to warm you when you stepped out of the shower. The night light did not work. The large bath towels were wonderfully soft. Robes were provided. If you are a light sleeper, the noise from the wall heater/air conditioner may bother you.

I am a regular business traveler and the Mimslyn has quickly become my favorite place to stay anywhere. It's without a doubt the best place to stay within 30-miles of Luray. Comfortable, quiet, great porch, service; must try the Speakeasy and both the breakfast & lunch buffets in Circa '31.

I traveled to Luray for business. I enjoyed my stay immensely. It was a refreshing change from chain hotels. Dinner at the Speakeasy was delicious. Every staff memeber that I spoke with was friendly. I look forward to staying at the Mimslyn Inn each and every time I come to Luray.

We stayed here only one night as a stopover on a longer trip. The off-season rate made this an unbeatable choice for our trip. We were able to get a 2 room suite so that we could put our 8 month old to bed and enjoy dinner in our living space. The hotel is beautiful and has a great historic feel to it. We enjoyed a great multi-course dinner from the Speakeasy restaurant in the hotel. Circa 31 was not open for dinner on the night we were there. The Speakeasy had a wonderful off-season special as well, and we ate more than our fill for a VERY reasonable price. Breakfast in Circa 31 was good and reasonably priced. Someone who pays a full price for the same room we stayed in might notice the lack of attention to maintenance details. However, we were VERY pleased with our stay and the accomodations as they are.
