"Hillside hotel was not a great stay. Our room smelled stale and like old smoke, I think maybe it was ingrained in the wood paneling. Our room was not like the photos (definitely not fully remodeled) or luxurious. The bathroom had new fixtures and vanity but the tub was still old and kind of grimy. The window screen in the bathroom was ancient and hard to open and there were some sort of seeds or insect eggs all over the windowsill there. The size of the room was fine (only room for 1 small table, no chairs) but there was no additional deadbolt or slide latch on the door and that didn’t feel safe, especially after someone tried to put a code into our door at about 11:00 one night. This motel is somewhat cute, cozy and quiet but still seems a bit run down. However, after driving around Luray, I’d venture to say it’s the nicest of the roadside motels we saw. It has beautiful views of the Shenandoah’s and it’s very convenient to town and the park. It wasn’t horrible but wasn’t what we expected. The manager Judy was very nice when she called to confirm our reservation and when I let her know the room smelled smoky. Be aware that not all rooms look like the photo on the website."
