Number one place to stay in Va Beach!

Extremely beautiful property, friendly staff from the receptionist to the house cleaners, location is prefect as it is so near to so many stores, and the beds are so comfortable!! This was our second time staying here. If you are a cyclist, you’ll have so many routes to bike right from the property.

The founders Inn is a beautiful hotel located in Virginia Beach. The landscaping has always given me that ah moment. The rooms are clean and the water is hot! Never did make it to the pool, but it is right outside of my room when I go. I love that the spa is on site and that there is an amazing restaurant that not only offers dining but room service. As an event planner, I absolutely love the fact that you can do weddings and vow renewals at this property.

Overall the property is beautiful and very quiet. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only issue we had was the rooms and floors are outdated. Mattress was not comfortable. Would we stay again? Absolutely. We recommend it!

The air conditioner made terrifying sounds the entire night and then it broke. Also kind of gross and weird property. I shouldn't even say it's in Virginia Beach because it took $100 car ride to get to Virginia Beach.

The staff was awesome. Checkin was a little rushed. He was on the phone when working with us and never got my Rewards number entered. I cleared that up the next day. House Keeping did not refill coffee or bring new cups/glasses to use. I tried to get some from the cleaning person but they did not speak English. But we always enjoy it here.

Serene grounds, beautiful main building and Swan Terrace restaurant was wonderful. Rooms were comfortable although a bit dated with the carpets and AC system noise. Grounds can be better maintained (there should be no smoking allowed, especially in and around the children’s playground, and the pond needs a thorough cleanup as we noted several garbage debris such as plastic bags and cans in the pond during our stay). Windows also need attention (cleaning). Overall beautiful grounds and place to stay, service was good and attached restaurant, the outdoor pool and slide and the gym were all great amenities that our family personally appreciated. Can become a 5 star property with the changes noted.

The property was very easy to get to and close to our daughter . The cleaning staff was not friendly not even a Hi or good morning 😞. The refrigerator was not cooling and it was an important part of this trip ….my husband is a diabetic and needs to keep his insulin cold . When calling down to the desk and reporting this …it took them at least 3 hours to get it resolved . That set our first night there with aggression.
