Extremely well run roadside motel. This is a real gem. Perfectly clean and everything operational. Staff was real nice. It's a no frills kind of place, but they have all the basics and it's nice to see a roadside motel that's run with this level of pride of ownership. I highly recommend it!

I was pleasantly surprised for our stay. We would have stayed another night if we didn't have a time issue. Everything was SUPER clean, it was old, but taken care of. The property manager (owner?) was so super nice and welcoming. There are even chairs to sit on in front of your room so you can enjoy the night time. If you are in Luray and need a place to stay I would definitely give The Cardinal Inn a thumbs up.

Very budget motel for not so budget price. However, the staff was friendly and accommodating, it was clean, beds comfortable. I slept well so can’t complain. Cute town and good location I was able to walk to several nice restaurants. I would stay again I just think it’s a bit overpriced.
