Luray Romantic Hotel

"The hotel is in a nice location. Close the Luray cavern and walkable in the Luray town. Clean and spacious room. Friendly staff. "

"We could hear water running somewhere in the bathroom in the first room we were given. It wasn't the toilet and you could hear it even with the bathroom door closed. Second room: staff member put us next door - same thing. Third room: asked him to put us on the 2nd floor away from the other rooms. Opened the door and heard the smoke alarm chirp (low battery). We were going to just remove the battery, then saw a live bug just above it on the wall. Decided to check for more and found a dead one on the sill. That was it! Packed up our things and told him we were leaving. We had many choices for accommodations in this area but chose Hampton Inn because it has always been safe and clean. Not a safe choice for us anymore. This place should be shut down. It looks like it hasn't been updated in 30 years - carpet, fridge, furniture, microwave - all 3 rooms. I also saw somewhere that breakfast was included. When the staff member handed us our first room keys, he said, "Room 117. No breakfast." Terrible experience. All of this made us late to meet friends whom we hadn't seen in 6 years that we would have limited time with. So disappointing. Went 1 mile down the road and stayed at a very nice place called Hillside Motel. "

"We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location. The current administration should invest funds in the National Parks, rather than divesting from them, and rather than spending untold, mismanaged, hundreds of millions on ballrooms and personal jets. This historied encampment deserves to be kept up in a more intentional way for our children and grandchildren. Can you imagine what Skyland would look like if just a handful of millions going toward a gilded jet were spent on the deep cleaning and deferred maintenance it requires? "
