The office is open sporadically. We had to ring the bell and when that brought no response, we called. Eventually, someone came and opened the office. Also, a note for Tesla owners, the nearest Supercharger is a good half hour away.

The room was much bigger than I thought it would be and we didn’t need the extra space but it was nice. The decor was nice and the room was super clean. Yes, it is an older hotel but is in good condition and everything worked well for us.
The bed … I have to tell you about this bed. We pulled back the covers to find the sheets and blankets tucked in very tightly. Forget a quarter. You could have bounced a brick off the bed. Every fold and every tuck was made with precision. (Anyone with a military background would be impressed with this work of art.) There was an extra blanket in the closet if needed.
The bathroom was super clean and had plenty of towels.
The hotel is non-smoking but since each room is accessed outside, there were plenty of chairs on the walkway/patio in front of the doors to sit and relax.
I would absolutely stay here again.
A good base location to explore the National Park, and very near the Luray Caverns.
It’s not the Rirz, but it’s clean, comfortable, quiet and friendly.
The Cardinal Inn was a wonderful place to stay. We had a large room with a king size bed which was quite comfortable. There was a microwave and small fridge in our room which we did use and both worked perfectly. No daily room service but we didn't find it to be an issue.
Our room was exceptionally clean and neat. Yes the decor is a bit dated but, honestly, I absolutely loved it! The dated decor totally adds to the charm of this motel. Personally I loved the old fashioned colored tiles and such in the bathroom (like in my grandparents homes years ago when they were still with us).
Since my husband is a smoker I especially liked that there are chairs provided outside the doors of the rooms on the front porch area. We sat outside both evenings just relaxing, watching traffic go by and enjoying the beautiful sunset. You can't do that when stuck inside a typical hotel.
The owner lives on premises and is so very nice, helpful and is always there if you need extra towels, toilet paper, etc.
I can't tell you how much we enjoyed the Cardinal Inn and the owner is a fantastic person. If we were to ever visit the area again we would definitely stay at the Cardinal Inn again.



We chose the Cardinal – very reasonable at $75 + taxes, and in line with any of the national value brands. And we were not disappointed in our choice.
The owner/manager ended up upgrading our room to a suite for the same rate we had booked at. The room was very clean, and while the décor may have been a bit dated was all in fine shape and, frankly, part of the charm of the space. The Cardinal is not far out of the downtown area (although not walking distance), and about 10 minutes from Luray Caverns which also makes it very convenient.
I would definitely recommend the Cardinal for your stay in Luray!
My standard hotel qualifier: I have stayed in many different hotels in Viet Nam, China, Indonesia, and India as well as France and Italy. On a level playing field, they have ranked from 5 star to -5 star. Some I would have liked to move into, and some I slept in my clothes on top of the covers. Sometimes you simply get what you pay for.
"Great restaurant/diner type Jess’s about 500 yards from motel. Had an awesome burger and fries. Very friendly!"Read full review
