“Nice place, average experience.”

Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW via mobile

Great pool and slide for the kids, convenient location near highway. Small rooms, average service. Breakfast has fresh fruits and usual staple of foods. Exercise room has adequate equipment, closed captioning did not work on TVs above treadmill.

“Very Nice Place to Stay”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

I only stayed at this hotel for the one night on a business trip, but the AARP rate was the lowest rate in the area. The hotel was very clean and comfortable; the room was large and had a nice view of their pond. The only issue was the very loud a/c unit that kept cycling on and off all... More

“Wonderful Spa Stay”

Reviewed 8 June 2013

We booked this because of a Groupon deal and ended up being pleasantly surprised! The rooms were just "okay"- a bit dated with extremely noisy air conditions; nothing but basic cable and no movie rentals on the TV; you could fee the springs in our beds, which also sloped to the center (pretty uncomfortable- both of them); and nothing in...

“Best spa in Hampton roads”

I have been insisting the spa since they opened. The staff is excellent and the customer service beyond compare. I have very bad arthritis and they have always been considerate about making me comfortable during my visit. Whenever I make referrals I tell them it is a spa, not a massage place. Go, spend the day have lunch, swim, relax... More

Dear Pam, I am glad to hear that you frequent the spa often and that your visits are conducive to relaxation and healthy living. Thank you for referring us to your friends and neighbors! We hope to see you soon and look forward to your next visit! Best regards, Sascha Hemmann General Manager More

Nice hotel but not as special as it appears online as it is out of the way for the beach and other attractions (they do run a free shuttle which takes 30 mins) Good facilities in the pool and gym mainly set up as a conference and wedding venue. The restaurant is excellent. They had a special three for two... More

“Attractive property; full range of amenities”

Reviewed 25 May 2013

The Founders Inn is an attractive property conveniently located off I-64 in Va. Beach. Rooms are small, but attractive. There's a full-service restaurant with satisfactory, if somewhat overpriced, food and drink. The well-trained staff were professional and hospitable. Great outdoor pool.

We had a wonderful stay at the Founders Inn and Spa. The front desk staff was polite and helpful and the grounds were very attractive. We especially enjoyed the pool and hot tub. While we did not use the spa, the facility is shared with the pool, and the whole feel is very ritzy and upscale. The room was great,... More
