"The Mimslyn Inn was not first choice. I had tried to book the Hillside Hotel because it was advertised as having an outdoor pool. However, after completing booking, Hillside sent a note saying that their pool was down indefinitely for repairs.
The Mimslyn Inn became a "happy accident" as the place is super charming. Built 1931, the decor is period accurate. We booked a Suite, which was spacious and comfortable WITH ONE EXCEPTION: As a suite it incorporated bedding for up to four occupants. It did, however, half the bedding was a pull-out sleep sofa. To my dismay, sleeper sofa technology has not evolved and has never been designed with human anatomy/comfort in mind. Steel framing impinges precisely where one lays one's shoulders; the net experience is agonizing. No worries, though, as my clever and resourceful wife immediately suggested simply removing the mattress from the frame, stowing the bedframe and sleeping "futon" style with the mattress on the floor. Problem solved. To our >very< husky stepson and grandson, we granted use of the king-size bed, which they gratefully enjoyed. In sum, my earnest recommendation to the Mimslyn management is that they ditch the sleep sofa(s) and replace them with a standard queen-size bed. Given the generous size of our suite, the addition of a regulation bed in place of a sofa would have been entirely acceptable. Beyond that, I would recommend the Mimslyn Inn to any traveler looking for an alternative to the boxy, budget-level hotel."
