Poor Ecperience
Pros:

Beautiful place.

Cons:

We could hear everything going on from both units next to us. We had an adjoining room suite. Needed extra pillows and after 4 attempts they finally arrived. TV only worked occasionally. Appeared internet strength was too weak to broadcast multiple shows.

I loved staying here and so did my daughter. We wil definitely visit again.
Pros:

I love the location and the atmosphere. The outdoors felt like taking a walk through nature. It was so peaceful and serene.

Cons:

The thing I didn’t like was the conjoined room that we had. The patrons in the next room were quite loud, but other than that I have no complaints.

It's my favorite hotel in the area.
Pros:

I love the comfortable beds, the historical feel, and beauty it presents all customers. It's my favorite hotel when I have to go to Virginia Beach. It's away from the strip but convenient to everything else.

Cons:

I didn't like the coffee provided in the room so I had to travel for good coffee. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

Amazing stay
Pros:

The grounds were exceptional, the rooms were comfortable and the best part was Emily in the restraunt. She is truly the Jewel of Regent University and the Founders Inn.
