We are familiar with the Bavarian Inn as we live near it in West Virginia. It is lovely and we heard great things about their sister property, The Mimslyn Inn, and decided to try it. We understand the world is understaffed right now, but we won't be back. The inn is lovely, and our room was nice...but, we asked to make dinner reservations on site, and were told we couldn't. We tried to get dinner and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. Forty minutes later it was clear from watching the room that we would not be seated anytime soon and the hostess had disappeared, so we left and ordered carryout, extremely frustrated. We asked if there were room service, and were told no. We ordered carry out and ate stale nachos in our over $200 a night room, in front of our tiny television. When my husband tried to address this with the person at the front desk, the answer was "well we are very popular". We still can't understand why a place like this would not try to accommodate the people staying there first. Also, it was prom season in Luray, and despite a sign on the front door that the lobby and porch were not available for prom photos, it seemed like the entire high school showed up while we were trying to relax and read in the rockers on the front porch. The first three couples were sweet, but by the time every Bulldog showed up with their entire family it became overwhelming. Don't think, oh it was prom and they were all eating there-there were no prom couples in the downstairs restaurant. We tried to move to some hammocks on the back of the grounds, but when we got there children were using them like a playground with their babysitter. We retreated indoors. The hot tub was nice and we met some friendly people but it's not really accessible. There is an ADA lift, but for someone who does not need that, it's a huge step down from the edge, with no actual stair and no guard rails or railings. It's a recipe for injury. When we left, there wasn't even coffee in the lobby. At this price point, this is unacceptable. Very disappointed. I would never recommend this inn to anyone. Find a different romantic venue. This one is not romantic; just frustrating and overpriced. We did not get what we paid for. read more

We reserved the Stony Man cottage for 2 nights. I loved the privacy, and the fireplace in the room. The bed was very comfortable! Although the bedroom was cozy, the bathroom could have used a heat source. We enjoyed food and drinks at The Speakeasy; reasonably priced, good food. The spa accommodated my request for a same-day massage. read more

Overpriced for a small room. The room just felt more old rather than a charming traditional. Next time, I'll just stay at a days inn for half the price. A motorcycle with a big confederate flag was parked on their front brick pavement next to the water fountain. I guess they were proud of it but not exactly a welcoming sign for me. Would only be 1 star but the room was clean and the staff was pleasant. read more

Why cause they keep the good staff other than Steve he's great ! Chris the chef the best but needs garden. Need chicken back during weekday all u can eat yes with soup. Go for it ! read more

So unexpectedly awesome! Checked in after a hike in Shenandoah park...exhausted, we were very excited about the place to eat downstairs-- the Speakeasy. Staff was super nice. Food was comforting and delicious. Ordered the meatloaf, bf had the salmon burger. Best part-- stunned at the bill. More than reasonably priced, till i remembered I wasn't in DC/Arlington anymore! The room was traditional/refurbished. Shower was a bit too pressured for me... but at least the water was hot! Got a good night sleep before going to Luray Caverns the next day. Best part about our stay was the 10$ buffet Sunday breakfast... waffles, roast, omlettes, potatoes, salad, trifle, fruit, cheese.. all sorts of food to choose from...and getting to eat it on the porch. The ultimate relaxing morning. There's also a decent gym downstairs-- few ellipticals, treadmill, dumbbells...didn't get a chance to see the pool. Highly recommend this place!! read more

3.5 stars. My bf bought the LivingSocial voucher for a night's stay in a Standard Room for two (incl. two tickets to Luray Caverns) and overall we thought it was a pretty sweet deal. So what about the hotel? Well, I loved that we were able to park pretty much right in front of the hotel (this is from living in the DC/NoVa area...). The concierge (? I think) was an older man who was very cheerful and pleasant. The front desk people and bellman were also nice and courteous. As for the room, it was a little bit lackluster. As the fanciest inn in a small town I can appreciate it's charm and design. In fact, I think the hotel looks fantastic and if I came back I would most likely stay here again. However, I think that the room (ours at least) could use an upgrade. Fresh paint in the bathroom to cover up the markings, caulk (?) around the bathroom door frame so it doesn't look unfinished, and maybe a higher cleanliness standard. I would actually prefer a less fancier looking place to a place that looks impeccably spotless. Of course, this may just be the fact that I hold lodging cleanliness to a high standard. Inside our standard room there was an overly large dresser holding the flat-screen TV (look through the pictures on yelp). The view of the TV can be blocked unless you're sitting as close to the edge of the bed as possible. Otherwise you'll just need to sit in the big comfy yellow chair next to the bed. The extra pillow (stiffer/foam, I love!) and blanket (super soft and warm) are in the drawers under the TV dresser. I have to say, my bf and I slept pretty soundly. Beware though, the walls are very very thin at this place and you can sometimes hear conversations from the hallway or the other rooms. Thankfully though they have an enforced "quiet time" from 10 or 11pm until 7am (not entirely sure about the exact time). The brunch. For $15 per person I wasn't too pleased but our waitress was attentive and very nice. Omelette station had yummy omelettes but a very gruff/curt (maybe even a little rude) cook. Their creme brulee was really really good; loved it. Food overall was ok and the selection just seemed a bit limited, I would recommend maybe cutting back on a few desserts and add in more entree/savory options. The salad station...oh man. I somehow got lucky and picked up a slice of cucumber with a big piece of fuzzy mold on the side..=\. And yea I still had my salad (sans cucumbers) with raspberry vinaigrette...and it tasted like raspberry flavored ranch dressing. I hate ranch. That salad was not finished. I think if we had paid full price to stay here I would not have been pleased but with the LS deal I was satisfied (mostly due to the caverns tickets, which I loved). So if you can, get a deal/voucher. Otherwise, just do a day trip (pack food, which we did anyway) without staying overnight. read more

We came to visit Mimslyn with a Groupon package and were amazed with our luck! The hotel is beautiful and full of history. We had dinner in Circa 31 and it was the best meal I've had in a long time! The oysters were superb. I was thrilled they had a hot tub that we dipped in as the sunset. Beautiful views! We also had breakfast at Circa 31 which was yummy as well, especially the Old Bay rimmed "sea Mary". Loved the speakeasy downstairs! Definitely a hidden gem. read more

Mimslyn Inn - A definite hidden gem! - Hotels Near Me - Luray, Virginia

The building is beautiful and charming. We came near Christmas time and the lobby was beautifully decorated. This place was built in 1931 so to keep that feel they used bulky furniture in the rooms. I appreciated that for the bed. The pillows look like they haven't been changed out in years. And there isn't even a protective cover. The placement of the television was to the left of the bed which would have been fine except the doors don't open far enough back to see the tv from a sleeping position. The doors should probably just be removed. We were on a corner suite so it may not be the same in other rooms. The bathtub was not fully sealed to the floor so it felt squishy while you were standing on it. Beyond the nitpicks things, the hotel itself is majestic. They have done a really good job of keeping an older but somewhat modern feel. Takes me back to Gone with the Wind in some ways. I would definitely stay here again, but would likely bring my own pillows. They had so many beautiful locations on the property and a speakeasy ;) read more

We stayed at The Mimslyn Inn on a mid-week Living Social special, that included a wine tasting. The Inn itself is of 1890's vintage and has a lovely traditional feel while the amenities are decently updated. Lobby is attractive. The rooms, while small, are comfortable and clean. There is a Very Small workout area in the basement with a few machines. The outdoor pool is sun-heated, but, again, clean and pleasant. The Jacuzzi was very comfortable! The staff was unfailingly friendly, though they were a bit confused at times relating to the time and venue of the included wine tasting. Still, after being bounced around a little and slightly inconvenienced, the staff was extremely apologetic and offered gratis breakfast the next morning as recompense! The Formal Restaurant (Circa 31) is only open on the week-ends, but the Speakeasy Pub is on the premise and very comfortable (separately reviewed.) There are plenty of decent eating options within an easy walk. Overall it was an extremely pleasant two-day getaway and I would not hesitate to recommend the Inn to anyone headed that way! read more

Stayed here for my sisters wedding to find this place looks like a huge antique estate. The inside has a very "I haven't been updated in 30 years" feel to it. Most loved that but I thought it was a bit dingy. The rooms were nice enough and they gave a complimentary loofa which I enjoyed. Also nice was the slightly larger than average fitness center. Overall, I would go back for special occasions in Leray. It is a good meeting spot and a good place to reserve a block of rooms for a wedding. read more

2 stars. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfy but the negatives still outweigh the positives. Cons: - Paper thin walls. Be prepared to hear every door open and close in the hall and every neighbor's conversation. Good luck sleeping in. - No coffee maker and no mini fridge in the room. - Hugely overpriced for what you get. - The view from our room included beautiful air conditioning units. - Every time we tried to go to use the hot tub maintenance workers were all over the pool area and completely oggled us. Not a deal breaker but annoying. Groupon users: Beware the whiskey infused dinner. It was HORRIBLE. For more information, see my review of the restaurant. Also, Copper Fox distillery is about 30 minutes away and includes a windy drive through the mountains. They have tours every 30 minutes and you don't need reservations. It's worth it. The breakfast included with the Groupon was literally the best part of this whole deal, but how can you mess up breakfast? read more

Recently I took a much needed personal vacation. I spent two nights at the Mimslyn Inn and had a very pleasant and relaxing stay! I had planned on spending one night there and one night at Skyland Resort on the Skyline Drive, but after reading reviews about Skyland and actually going there to check out the facilities I decided I better stay safe (and bed bug free) and see if Mimslyn had another room available. Luckily they did and I was able to book the room over the phone and head back to a new room. The hotel decor radiates southern charm and the hospitality is warm and welcoming. They take COVID very seriously there so I felt very safe and looked after. Don't expect to use the hot tub or spa because of the pandemic. The view from their front porch is beautiful and if you're lucky enough to dine outside if it hasn't been raining a lot I highly recommend it. There are only a few outside tables so I'd recommend making your reservations early. I had both dinner and breakfast there twice and all four meals were delicious despite only having had a few options to choose from. The snapper is amazing! I wish their coffee were better but there's a great place called Gathering Grounds right down the street (walking distance) if it's specialty coffee you're after. I've read a lot of negative reviews mentioning their rooms don't have a fridge or microwave, or that the tvs are positioned "weirdly", but come on, this is the kind of luxurious and historic place you go to to relax on the front porch with a glass of wine and a beautiful view, not to heat up your leftover Arbys sandwich and watch SVU all night. There's a Budget Inn across the street for that. It's right in downtown Luray, so it's walking distance from coffee shops, boutiques, the beautiful Hawksbill Greenway, and even a surprisingly good brewery where I enjoyed a couple delicious patio beers one afternoon. All in all, I had a wonderful stay and can't wait to bring my boyfriend and his mom soon! read more

GROSS. That's all I can say about their Easter Brunch. Aside from disgusting. I met my parents there,,, and I should start by saying we have visited the Mimslyn MANY times over the years (the food has always just been mediocre. Easter went like this: My parents, 81 years old, and 85 arrived a few minutes early and checked-in at the host stand. I arrived 2 early minutes early and we went back to the host / hostess to say that everyone was present. The snooty / rude older host informed us that they'd passed us by and given our table away - that they'd "called" and no one responded. Unreal... this is how you treat your older guests? Or any guests, btw? Really? My parents were standing in the foyer waiting and I just don't believe it. And you give a 2:30 reservation away BEFORE 2:30?! No. And Brunch only gets better from there. After seating us (later) - they gave us THE WORST table in the center of where everyone goes to the kitchen - getting bumped by busy staff every couple of minutes. 3 guests at a huge table for 6. Only to serve the rarest / coldest slab of meat ("prime rib") - when the menu stated aged new york strip (completely different cut of meat, no wonder they never asked the desired temperature). Bait and switch, and nothing but gross. My plate was a pool of blood. Imagine an ice cream scoop of instant mashed potatoes sitting in and stained by blood. A couple MUSHY veggies drowning in blood, next to a slab of COLD meat (I mean prime rib should be served rare, but at least be WARM -- but, again this is NOT the cut of meat promised). The mimosa was a glass of orange juice from concentrate. The cinnamon roll was a rock that was also inedible. Our server was nice but ABRUPT and not cut out for this type of service... he seemed used to slinging hash at diner. The atmosphere was blah as well,,,, no music, the small flower arrangements were probably purchased at the local grocery store. Disappointing - and especially perturbed with the "host" -- who seemed to be a manager (get some class and compassion) I'd dismiss him in a second. EVEN, if the table was given away (which was ridiculous) - we don't need to know. We don't need to be reprimanded. You should simply say - "we are setting up your table now, it will just be a few minutes" "would you like a mimosa or bloody mary or coffee while you wait?" Trust me, the entire brunch looked like amateur hour / second rate / worst food that I have ever had in my life. read more

So we stopped in for Sunday brunch 60$ not including tip for an absolutely horrible food everything was over cooked over priced food seemed it was left over from days before Don't waste your hard earned money going to this place read more

I used a deal for a package of a night at the hotel and tickets for the Luray Cavern. When I called to make my reservation, the lady was very accommodating. We arrived around 4 p.m., and snagged one of the last parking spots on a Saturday night. The check-in receptionist was very helpful and friendly, as was the doorman. The indoor decor reminded me of the Titanic, which was pretty neat to me. There's a large, winding staircase that comes down into the lobby with a fireplace and a man playing the piano next to the bar during the dinner hours. It was like we stepped back in time, and I absolutely loved that. Our room was rather basic. It had been recently remodeled, but was a little cramped by today's standard. There was a flat screen television, a bathroom well-stocked with complimentary toiletries, and as a part of our deal, we received complimentary Mimslyn wine glasses. They leave a bottle of wine in your room that you can purchase for $25. I found the bed a little uncomfortable for my tastes, but my husband thought it was a great bed. My one complaint about the room, which resulted in their score being a bit lower, is that we could here everything our neighbors were doing in their room next door, and that was a little awkward and annoying when we were trying to sleep. I don't know what the Mimslyn can do about that, but again, it did detract from our experience. My second complaint about the Mimslyn was parking. After we snagged one of the last parking spots, we decided to drive into town. We really should have walked, as the hotel is close, but it looked like it would rain at any moment. We were gone for maybe a half hour, and when we returned around 5:30-6, there were no parking spaces. We had to make our own space, and people were parking on the giant hill (I was worried a parking brake might not hold on that hill!). I think they need to have "Guest Only" spaces, because I am guessing the parking shortage is also from people not staying at the hotel coming there for dinner at either Circa '31 or the Speakeasy on the weekend. We didn't at Circa '31, but they do have a wine pairing dinner special on weekends, and a brunch on Sundays. We opted for dinner at the Speakeasy. We arrived around 7, and we were seated immediately. They had live music - a guy playing a guitar, which kept things entertaining (there isn't much else to do in Luray on a Saturday night). They had green beer for St. Patrick's Day, and even topped off the coffee drink my husband ordered with green food coloring. I ordered a burger, which was tasty, and the best part was the waffle fries that came with it. My husband ordered the salmon burger, and he enjoyed that, as well. Other than the paper-thin walls and the parking issue, we had a great time. I would give it a 3.5 overall. My husband was expecting more of a bed and breakfast hotel, so that threw him off a little. It is a historic hotel, and it was a really neat experience to stay there. read more

Well after giving management an opportunity to reach out, I felt compelled to share my experience. Too bad could be a great getaway. Hello, I felt it necessary to write an email regarding my disappointment in my recent stay. I stayed at your facility in August 2020. We stayed in one of the newer cottages and the experience was exceptional. We also dined at the restaurant and enjoyed it tremendously. So we decided we would celebrate our anniversary at the Mimslyn Inn again. I was able to make reservations for two nights in a "historic cottage" and we appreciated the contactless check in. That was it for what was good. The historic cottage should be described as dated,rustic,old and not in any way appointed as the newer cabins are, or with any of the ambiance. I'm certain that the rooms themselves in the Inn are historic, but remodeled in a tasteful way. We checked in on Wednesday the 14th of April for two nights. Upon entering we were a bit shocked. Yet we gave it a shot. The mattress needs to be replaced, We ended up in the center of the bed in a hole. The chairs in front of the bed are so worn that when the cushion sinks you need help getting up. No info on AC controls,what the various settings are, just push all the buttons. Could not figure out how to operate the fireplace. Again no instructions.The too small a TV with the fuzzy picture was placed on a high dresser and the only way to try to watch it was from the very uncomfortable bed. We opened the mini fridge and found a serving platter with what appeared to be 2 pieces of quiche, two muffins, one upside down and green grapes that had seen better times. We didn't know if a previous guest had left them or if they were complimentary. No info regarding anything complimentary left in the cottage and no mention on the reservation confirmation or the email with room key code and wifi password. The only comfort we found were the chairs out front of the cottage, yet that was unpleasant as new mulch had been laid down and the smell was overpowering as were the flies. We woke up Thursday and departed not staying the second night. My biggest issue is that there is a very big gap between your accomodations and in no way was it disclosed during the reservation process. I have told countless people about this gem in Luray. I'm not so sure what to say at this point. I am certain that if I am ever asked that I would definitely not be able to make that recommendation again at this point. I don't care for online reviews as they are all subjective. In fact this complaint is subjective. Thank you for your time reading this. I would like to add that the staff has always been very pleasant. Respectfully, Stephan Kane read more

I went back, forgetting that I had already rated the place. Really, I'm not kidding. DO NOT EAT HERE unless you're with people who do not need to chew. Bland, boiled and BORING. Great service and very pretty. read more

We stayed in one of the cottages at the Mimslyn Inn and it was absolutely spectacular! It seemed very new and clean, and we loved the fireplace in the living room. This is definitely the nicest hotel in the area. Our stay in our cottage was nice, although we were generally unimpressed by the amenities the hotel had to offer. The Speakeasy Restaurant was absolutely terrible. We dined here on our first night, and were extremely disappointed. The food did not taste fresh and we also found plastic wrap in the mashed potatoes. After informing our server of this, we received no apology or discount. Our server was also not very pleasant or helpful. Initially, we planned to try the Circa 31 restaurant during our stay, however, after this experience, we decided to dine elsewhere for the remainder of our trip. The exercise room and business center are also very disappointing. The exercise room is a few pieces of equipment in a corner of the basement and the business center consists of an old run down printer in the other corner of the basement. Overall, the customer service of the front desk staff was great. They were friendly and helpful and our cottage was clean and beautiful, but there are some downfalls of this hotel. read more

What a great find! When we arrived we were impressed with the beautiful location. We were told or cottage was rented to another family and thought we were in for trouble. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded a newer, larger cottage at no additional charge. We stayed in the Jewel Hollow cottage. It was very nice, new, with comfortable beds and perfect for us and our two grandkids. The cottage was the perfect size, bedroom was large with two Queens and there was a single sleep sofa in the living room. We were able to play cards in the evening in living room. We all enjoyed the outdoor games and fire pit. We were disappointed the pools weren't open but understand that it is still early in the season. The kids did use the hot tub and enjoyed that. When we went to ask them to prepare the hot tub (they warned us they keep the heat down this time of year and to plan accordingly) we thought we would have an issue when they couldn't find the key but the staff quickly took care of the issue and apologized profusely. Overall a very, very nice experience and we would certainly come again. read more

This is a nice, but very faded, historical hotel in the Shenandoah Valley. The staff is very friendly and helpful, but rooms, food, etc., need to be taken up a notch. And I hope someone invests and does this--it's a pretty and unique property that could be amazing. Price for stay is GOOD. And there's very little options at Luray, so I would recommend. read more

Nicely restored hotel from the 1930 era. All the staff here was very nice and accommodating. I was here for a conference and I was impressed with the facilities available to us. Very good muffins and cookies during breaks. I appreciated having iced water and tea available beside coffee. Room was nice, loved having a desk and the bed was very comfortable and cozy after a long day of work. All accoutrements were nice (soap, shampoo, lotion etc.). TV was a bust - couldn't really find what I wanted to watch and some stations don't come in well. I read a lot. read more

Very Historic hotel in the middle of Luray. Close to the caverns and Skyline drive. It has a saltwater pool and a nice area behind the hotel that includes a fire pit, some hammocks, a ping pong table and other games. Nice restaurant that many locals go to but it was very pricey. Overall the hotel needs some basic maintenance including paint touch up in the rooms and it is not worth the price (around $200 a night)! read more

Mimslyn Inn - Hotels Near Me - Luray, Virginia

The room I stayed in was small but nice. The bed was one of the most comfortable I'd ever slept in. They even sell mattresses from the hotel if you're interested. The bathroom was also very nice. Hot water and great water pressure on the shower made it a nice experience all together. I had a drink at the small bar on the main level. Starr Hill Northern Lights was one of the beers on tap. Locally brewed it was fantastic. The Speakeasy downstairs is open from 3pm until midnight and is a really fun place to hangout and have delicious appetizers and drinks. Overall it was an awesome time had at the Mimslyn Inn. I will certainly return! read more

Don't expect the restaurant or bar to be open on Wednesday. Sorry I paid for an historic inn when we can't get the full benefit of a pub or dining. Closed on Wednesday, maybe Tuesday too. are sure and check before you book. All the grounds need a face lift. Dead shrubbery along drive. Rooms don't have a fridge. We had a large room in the main building with a generous seating area, and it seems just a tad run down.. not worth the $230+ Breakfast is amended, either due to COVID a or lack of personnel. Just a self serve thing with muffins, fruit.. read more

Pros- clean, very friendly staff, nice pool, well kept gardens Cons-thin walls, overpriced/tasteless food. read more

I never write reviews but this place was inspiring... and not in a good way. The we stayed in the main building. When I walked into the room it stunk like something had died. The room was so dark that you couldn't do makeup and there was no room in the bathroom to put any of your stuff. I couldn't take the smell so I went to the front desk. They decided to switch my room. The new room had great bathroom lighting and a nice countertop... but it stunk too (a little less). Beds are relatively comfortable but the pillows are as if someone stuffed them with cheap cotton and they are lumpy. The second day I decided to go to the circa 31... I ordered eggs over easy (set of two). To my surprise one came out over easy and one came out what appeared to be perfect and the other over hard... it appeared that the chef had broken the egg yet still sent it out. I returned the eggs and they remade it... they came out and the whites were still raw... back again went the eggs!!! The third time still a bit raw and one was almost over hard. The manager adjusted the bill. The staff was friendly though!! Would I stay at the Mimslyn- maybe the cottages... but it's a firm no for the rest of the smelly rooms. Would I eat at the Mimslyn? Maybe... I'd stick to the buffet... read more

This rating is for wedding experience only: The customer services was outstanding. One of the waiter saw we have a toddler and offered a Styrofoam cup with straw for her and changed the cup when she spilled and when she bit on the cup. Because it was chaotic, I understand sometimes that waiters/waitresses forgot to give us what we requested, but one waitress who was responsible for coffee and came back asking if we ever did get your tea? Was sweet of her for doing so. Food: me personally did not like it not so much but the mashed potato with the gravy was delicious . The sauce for the ham was also delicious . My husband enjoyed the country fried steak. My 13 months old daughter loved the ham. Restroom was clean until toward middle of the wedding, don't think they had anyone go in there to check/clean. Was a gorgeous day outside, a little on the hot side, but overall the area for the wedding ceremony outside was pretty. Loved it. read more

Mimslyn Inn - This is a great place to stay even after renovation. The thanksgiving dinner was great - Hotels Near Me - Luray, Virginia

We stayed overnight in the "Bridal cottage", a brand new unit at the back of the property. Good: - Brand-new! - Swanky amenities (robes, Roku TV, table set, pretty much full kitchen, 6,000 decorative bed pillows) - Access to pool, which was clean and very cute - Huge bathroom - Bottled water in the fridge - Friendly staff Less good: - Brand-new! So, the place stunk of.... floor varnish? Paint? Both? It was so stinky, that I slept with the back door (out to the hot tub, through the bathroom) wide open. - The AC is loud and kicks on every several minutes, waking us up each time. - It's cozy. The fish-eye photos really exaggerate the space. - It's on an asphalt parking lot, as are several of the other "cottages", which are a stone's throw away. So, if you're expecting a remote/wilderness experience, you won't find that here. - Huge bathroom has to comprise at least 40% of the indoor space. Could there be more living space and less bathroom? Alternatively, get rid of the hot tub porch, and add more living space/outdoor porch. read more

Had a quick bite to eat in the restaurant. Great ambience and friendly staff. I would go back

Mimslyn Inn - Hotels Near Me - Luray, Virginia

The Mimslyn Inn is a charming throwback to a bye gone age, but I now wish we had stayed across the street at a chain motel. When I made the reservation over the phone, I made it clear that my wife and I were traveling with our three young grandchildren. When we arrived, the desk clerk said "The small roll away / fold up bed is not in our computer." The facility is not handicap friendly or easily accessible to those with a disability. Parking was an extreme challenge. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran with a broken foot. When I parked next to the entrance way to unload luggage, I had to manhandle the bags up the steps into the lobby and then up more steps to get to our room. The management was less than helpful or understanding. In fact, all they had to say was to tell me to quickly move my car. I then had to park quite some distance away on a grassy slope in the rain. The room was uncomfortably dark. Even with all the lights on in the room, I had trouble reading. We did avail ourselves of the free muffins, coffee, and juice in the morning which was sufficient to get us underway and keep us on the road until lunch. read more
