Overall a very nice hotel with a colonial feel. A friend and I were doing a girls weekend and the check in was a breeze. They had all of our room info ready plus all of our spa treatments together in a folder, nice touch. One of the bell boys carried all of our bags to our room, set everything... more

I was here for church's 2007 Women's conference. I drove to Virginia Beach with a friend and my first impression was nice! The pathways were made of all brick and everything was done in excellence. We checked in early and got situated in our rooms and a bell hop carted our luggage to our rooms and helped us set prop... more

After having the spa recommended to me by a VERY picky friend as the best experience she ever had, I decided to book a massage for myself (being the second most picky person in the world <g>). All I can say is "WOW!" The service was remarkable. I had lunch at Swann Terrace (also on site) and was immediately impressed... more

My experience was with the new 5 million dollar highly rated spa at the resort. I live 10 minutes from the Founder's Inn and my husband and I stayed there for our wedding night 5 years ago. The rooms and service within the hotel are wonderful. On the other hand, this new spa is not. I called the spa directly... more

I've stayed here before it used to be much nicer, very well-kept and maintained but now it's just really disapointing. Everything needs to be replaced mostly the broken toliet that kept running all night long and the beds, my gosh, the beds are HORRIBLE they offer no support at all, the room's decorations where odd and unmatching but I guess... more

My husband and I went for a quick get away. We arrived on Friday night in our room we had a king size bed ( the beds are very soft I did not mind my husband hated them) w/ fireplace I upgraded. We have stayed before and I feel like it is worth the extra money for the upgrade. Our... more

We attended for a conference and the property is pleasant enough for that, but I agree with some of the other reviewers that it's a bit overrated. We're been to The Homestead and I was kind of expecting a scaled-down version, but it doesn't come close. Grounds are nice (and yes there are trees, just not woods). Staff was friendly... more

We went to the Founder's for a wedding at the resort, and with the group rate decided to stay the night. Check in was about 10 minutes, and then the bellhop came to our car, took our bags, and lead us to our room. We were in a standard king. The entire facility is non-smoking which we thought was very... more

We stayed at the Founder’s Inn for a wedding. Overall the resort is nice enough, but I have a few observations. It is my opinion that the Founder’s Inn markets itself as a luxury resort, but there is not much luxury to be found. Frankly, for the price we were paying, I was expecting a 3 to 4 star hotel.... more
