Our Happy and Relaxing Space
Pros:

We always loved the English garden, the historical design elements, and the sumptuous breakfast included in our booking. The bed and pillows were comfortable and we slept soundly! And staff was professional and made us feel welcomed!

Cons:

Overall was great. A few inconveniences we had were the following:
1. The remaining shower gel didn't last. We didn't ask for extra though. I was lucky to have packed a small bottle from home.
2. Not a big deal, but if possible, another soap for the sink outside the bathroom, would be appreciated. Or better yet, a liquid hand soap!
3. My kids said the TV had erratic sounds. Could be the TV itself or a bad signal.
4. We wanted to eat our late night food bought from outside but we couldn't find plastic utensils and there was no microwave to heat it. Going to the main building just to use the microwave wasn't something we want to do.

We either solved the issue or tried other ways so overall, our stay was still a memorable and beautiful one! We will definitely stay again! It's a happy and relaxing place for us!

Pros:

Suprisingly the dog park is a 10.0. There was practically a 1/4 acre of space in the dog park. Most of the time, my dog is on an adjustible leash. It is not ideal. The staff placed me close to the dog park, which is set up for several different dogs. Also the breakfast was a 10.0 as well for the breakfast buffet. The location was also great. I was suffering from clinical exhaustion spiritually, mentally, and physically. I much prefer a 2 day stay at the peaceful founders inn verses a hospital stay. I was behind on school and needed to get back on track. The business office was great during off hours. They made travelling with a service dog ideal. The weather was unbearably hot.

Cons:

I had to change rooms due to ac issues. I lost a few of my personal organic hygiene/protein drink to keep my blood sugar in check, while changing rooms.

Overall, my stay was pleasant. I felt safe with security in the parking lot. No major complaints.
Pros:

The location is convenient right off the beltway. The room was clean and pleasant. The hallway in building 4 is a bit creepy but the stay was pleasant and I slept well.

Cons:

The hallways in building 4 were a bit creepy at first. It could be the dim lighting. The main building would've been nicer for my stay. I would think being a Hilton Honors member I would've had the opportunity to stay in the main building.

Good price for clean room and great indoor pool. Location not the best and outdoor pool completely disgusting.
Pros:

Room and indoor pool

Cons:

Outdoor pool was disgusting. Bird feathers in the pool as well as bird poop all over the pool. I really hope my family does not get sick from getting in the pool before we saw how bad it was.

Great Stay, except for 1 thing
Pros:

Good room space, with coffee maker and refrigerator. The ground is excellent for taking a walk.

Cons:

The bathroom liquid soap container was empty. We forgot to mention it to the staff but were hoping that when they clean the bathroom, they'll notice, but did not
