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.Rooms: Clean, historic, comfortableNearby activities: Luray Caverns plus museumsSafety: ADA compliant while retaining historic qualitiesFood & drinks: Circa 31 and the Speakeasy: must eat here!

Quiet but outdated room with super friendly and helpful receptionists. One young lady receptionist working on Saturday night (sorry I forgot her name) shared her favourite spot, Storybook, to watch the sunset. Fred was very helpful too. The breakfast restaurant was great. Delicious but budget friendly food. Waiter Leah took very good care of us. I do wish that we could open the window in the room for fresh air. The elevator had some sort of high pitch noise in it. There's no fridge nor microwave in the room.Food & drinks: Breakfast restaurant has good budget friendly food.

The hotel is a quaint and charming gem in the area. The rooms are cute, and stay in the style of the hotel. We found the bed very comfortable. The dinners at the Speakeasy restaurant are fantastic, and breakfast downstairs is quite nice. Wouldn't mind staying here again.

You have not suffered enough until you've been to the Mimslyn hotel. I reserved a room last weekend and asked beforehand and their dog policy. I am a disabled veteran and I have a service animal with ADA documentation. Initially, they said ADA dogs are fine, but later emailed and said no dogs allowed at all. I called to ask, and was told I would be questioned about my dog to determine whether it is a valid service animal or not. I asked if they could just ask me on the phone so I wouldn't have to drive out there, and was told no.After arriving, the hotel manager questioned my disability, and said my dog didn't qualify for ADA status. That's funny, bc I don't think hotel staff are qualified to determine disability/ADA status, a medical doctor is, for which I have a medical note and to which the staff outright refused to accept upon my offering. Then they changed course and said I would have to pay a 125$ cleaning fee. What?If you don't allow dogs, that's fine, please make that clear on your website. I would never bring my dog somewhere he wasn't wanted. But to have your staff repeatedly give contradictory guidance, force us to physically arrive before questioning my disability, and then demand a fee for an ADA certified animal? That sounds like a recipe for a lawsuit. Your policy is not in accordance with the law, and your treatment of a disabled veteran/human being was and is VILE.We decided to leave after the staff's open hostility to me and my dog. I asked that they please refund the hotel charge since we didn't check in. We were told to bring it up with the third party booking website which took hours. We finally received a partial refund, after scrambling to then find a new place to stay after driving for hours.Mimslyn, get it together, seriously.Noteworthy details: Out of compliance with ADA laws.

ADA lawsuit waiting to happen.Called a day ahead and was told ADA service dogs accepted. At check-in, was asked questions not pertaining to documentation we had for the dog and were not allowed to check in. No mention of check-in interview on website or when I called the day prior. Unnecessarily obscure process. Will be pursuing this further.
This place definitely needs an engineer to keep up with repairs. The rooms needed work. I understand cosmetic stuff, but mold and grime isn't acceptable. The view was the only nice thing about this. The F&B team was friendly. However, the front desk wasn't friendly at all. Specially this heavy set guy with glasses. We tried to talk with him but he would make smart remarks. Overall not a great experience.Rooms: Need an update and makeover.

This place, in the middle of nowhere, thinks it's the Ritz-Carlton. There is a bottle of Virginia wine in my room, and they want $45 for it. No wine in VA is worth $45. Deep in the heart of confederate flag land, the rooms are inexpensive, but then they force you to give them another $100 as a hold - which they say can take up to 10 days to return - and they don't advertise the hold. They claim the $100 is for incidentals, but the ONLY thing in the room is that $45 bottle of VA wine. The two ladies at the front desk were AWFUL. They were uppity about the fact that I used Expedia to book the room. One claimed I was yelling at her when I was questioning a $100 hold for a stay that is less than 24 hours. Claiming Inwas yelling is hilarious bc I hardly have a voice at the moment. She then said, I "cussed" when I did no such thing. I may have been stern when asking why they don't advertise the $100 hold, but I was not yelling. Maybe take some lessons on customer service and you wouldn't be begging people to stay an extra night at 50% off. The sad thing is that it has great potential. They need better people managing. This will be my one and only stay here. Update: Today 12/31, Rebecca, a manager, told me that my bank is holding my incidental deposit. My bank said the money has not been released. I put them both on the phone - Rebecca proceedwd to become belligerent and then hung up on me and my bank. This place is truly despicable. I would rather sleep in my car.

What a wonderful, quaint place. Upon arriving we had a reservation and some specific rooms needs. Beth at the front desk was very knowledgeable, kind and let us tour a couple of rooms before we settled on one to ensure we were comfortable and we had an amazing stay.
