Quote: The hotel wonderful. We arrived around 10:30 pm and the desk clerk was very friendly. She told me that the room was already paid for thanks to the online travel website but there was a $ 25.00 hold on my card for incidentals. I kinda wish they would have let me know when I booked the trip but nevertheless it was a pleasant experience. The rooms were how it was in the pictures. I have been to this hotel before and I am aware of how they look. Please note that it is colonial style wall paper, draperies, linen and furiture. The carpet is several colors( stripe). Overall it is very clean. After getting into bed, the bed is so comfortable, the people that checked in the next room be side us was very loud and the kids was running up and down... Read More
Quote: This is probably the best hotel in Virginia Beach. The property is gorgeous and the staff is great. The rates are reasonable, probably because it is not located on the Oceanfront. I've stayed at the Founders Inn three or four times, and I will be back!
Quote: I would highly recommend the Founders Inn and Spa, top-notch all round. Beautiful estate like gardens and grounds, fabulous pool, great dining in the Hunt Room. Close to shopping. Friendly fast service. Beautifully appointed rooms and surroundings. I would absolutely stay there again and will look for this hotel group in other locations.
Quote: The hotel was great. Staff were very frenly and helpful, like with directions for places to go. I felt safe enough for the kids (13 & 14) to go to the pool etc on there own. The room was very comfortable even after six nights. I had a facial & manicure on the last day what a way to go!!! The only thing was I wish the menus were a little more kid freindly. I wish there were more of this hotel chain around or closer. I would love to do do a long weekend trip to one.
Quote: After a long day and evening at the beach with the family I came back to find out my room keys didn't work. I went to the front desk and they said they locked me out because they wanted a card on file. The front desk said 'this was how they communicate'. Well locking someone and their families out of their rooms in the middle of the night is something I figured a cheaper hotel would do not one I spent over a thousand dollars on. And the front desk worker must have been a big believer in 'will to power' as it was some how it was my fault. There were also issues with the staff not being trained on service. In the end its just a shabby, vacant Inn run by untrained/unprofessional locals. I'd have rather gone to a marriott or sheraton for the... Read More
Quote: While this hotel is an okay experience; it is not the quality of a true spa experience or what I would call a resort. The hotel is on a college campus and the entire experience felt more like a mid-range hotel and not a higher level hotel experience. For the price, I would choose another hotel in the future rather than this one. The rooms are clean; the staff very friendly; and the property fairly well maintained. It feels very safe to be in the hotel and around the grounds. It is more of a family vacation spot, not a place for a romantic spa eetreat weekend.
Quote: This hotel has an amazing staff. I have never stayed in a hotel where not one single staff member let me walk past without a greeting. Every single person smiled and said something pleasent. The entire facility is clean, from the guest rooms to the exercise rooms and the grounds themselves...spotless. We asked for assistance only twice but both times we waited less then 10 minutes before somone came to the room with what was requested. I also felt safe as the rooms and buildings are locked after 6pm and can only be entered with a guest key. I would only return to Virginia Beach if we stayed at the Founder's Inn. It is one of the best hotels I have stayed at in any city.
Quote: I loved the Hotel!! It was so beautiful. The service was excellent. They really strived to fulfill your every need. I took advantage of the spa. I've never had a spa treatment before, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. They really made you feel comfortable and at eaze. I would stay here again. I recommend this hotel to anyone who likes peace and quiet.
Quote: This place is beautiful. You'll think you have the wrong location when you pull into the driveway and see the size and quality of the buildings. It looks like a university campus. \nThe romm was an exceptional value, very clean, well equipped, and very comfortable, as well as romantic. The early American decore was very nice, with the added touch of a beautiful quilt. The staff and everyone there were very helpful and frieindly. Next time, we'll bring the family!\nDen & Deb
Quote: We visited for a romantic evening before Christmas, without the kids, but everywhere we turned, there were kids. We couldn't even eat in the main dining room for breakfast because it was set up for a Christmas Party for the kids. The food at the Swan Terrace Restaurant is good, but don't necessarily count on getting what is mentioned on the menu. We paid nearly $40 a person for the Christmas buffet, that had an advertised menu, and only a few of the items we were counting on, were actually there. It was good though. Bed was comfy, and fireplace was cozy. If you are ever interested in doing the carriage rides, call way in advance, because they fill up quick.
