A real treat in Shenandoah Valley

This hotel stay was one of the best. The place itself is very well upkept and clean. The honeymoon suite had its own screened in porch with a nice field view. We loved this place and hope to go back again soon.

While the staff was very friendly and welcoming and the room appeared clean, upon opening the dresser, there were roaches in every drawer. Went to the ice machine and there was the smell of urine. Needless to say i didn't get any ice.

I thought this dog friendly motel was as cute as a button. I enjoyed my stay there my grandson and myself the room was cozy and home like nice pressure plenty of hot water on the shower a little dated which adds to the charm. I only wish they had Apple Pay. Thank you to the gentleman at the front desk. I believe his name is VJ He was very kind and Patient. Property was well maintained as I walk my dog for the bathroom breaks. I really enjoyed my stay there.

A last resort only

They don't answer "Cardinal Inn" - it's just 'Hello' so you may have to confirm that you have reached the right business. The place is extremely old, wall unit AC's, so be prepared for a noisy night. They told us not to steal linens when we checked in, and that if we did steal them, we'd be charged, though I can't imagine why anyone would steal them unless they were desperate for rags at the moment; the doors are flimsy, no weather strip seals around them, so there is a huge gap around all edges of the entry door, would be very easy to break into the old key locks that are what one uses for bathroom/bedroom doors - not entry doors - the bed and pillows are extremely uncomfortable. My husband and I both had sore backs/necks, which was a real bummer as this was a work trip and we were exhausted for our job; the shower drained slow and didn't like like it had been thoroughly cleaned in who knows how long so you are aware that you are standing in the dirt of other people while showering; the hotel soap is crappy so def bring your own; the furniture is old and dingy; there are black out curtains but a lot of good they do when they don't sit close to the wall so all the light from the security lights that are every few feet outside shine brightly into the room; the internet goes in and out - even though they insist they've 'never had complaints before' sure, believe that if you want. This is right up there with the worst of hotels.

If you need relatively inexpensive pet friendly motel convenient to Luray this is it. We brought our 80lb golden retriever. Big open grassy area right in front of the motel perfect to walk your dog. Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Beds were fine.
