Would stay again

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 the halls. I woke up insteady and was very upset. It was 1:00 am in the morning and they didn't care what kind of noise they were making. I called down stairs and asked them to do something about these people. Ten minutes later I heard silence. But I was determined I wouldn't stay beside these people another nite so I went to the desk and asked for another room. To my surprise, they gave me an upgrade for the trouble I had experience the nite before. I didn't have a hard time moving my stuff to another room . My room was a king suite with the fireplace it was sooooo nice and quiet. It was our 17th wedding anniversary and I really enjoyed that last night stay.
Great Secret!

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!
Fabulous Experience

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.
Love the Hotel

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.
Not worth it

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 money.
