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

Founders Inn Fun
Pros:

We truly enjoyed our time at the Founders Inn! It is a gem in Virginia Beach. From the luxurious pool within the tree backdrop, the leisurely stroll around the pond to the quaint patio rocking chairs it set the scene for a relaxing getaway. The food at the Swan Terrace was delicious! Ask for Emily at breakfast…she’s the best! Ivenia the Guest Service Manager was very helpful and gave us great info for local excursions. Jimmy at the front desk was also very hospitable whenever we saw him and further enhanced our stay. We will be back!

Amazing stay
Pros:

I had a great time at this hotel! The best part was how convenient check in was. Ivenia made it seem so easy compared to every hotel I’ve been too. Whenever I needed assistance or an answer to anything, she had it.

Excellent & Awesome Service @ the Founders Inn
Pros:

Virginia Beach Location. Comfortable & Pleasant, Excellent places in the hotel to Eat, Drink, & enjoy the surroundings. The Rooms were Comfortable & Clean. Very much worth the Value.
Grace at the front desk was very helpful & kind with our check in. We have also enjoyed the amenities of the Commonwealth Lounge, where our barkeep, Cory, provided us with excellent libations and food. We have also enjoyed The Swan Terrace Grill, where Miss Emily provided us with awesome service as well.

Our room is spacious and comfortable. The shower is amazing!

We would like to state that all of the staff, from the Housekeeping staff to the Director, have been extremely professional, friendly and Absolutely Awesome!

It was great to meet Miss Ivenia May, Guest Services Ambassador as well as Miss Ayako Crepsac, Front Desk Supervisor. They provided us with valuable information about the Founders Inn, the sites to see in and around Virginia Beach as well as being great representatives of the Hilton brand.

Ideal stay!
Pros:

I came here on a business trip with my father and we were both very pleased with our stay. Ivenia, who checked us out was absolutely lovely, as were the other women who helped us with checking in whose names I unfortunately can’t remember. The hosts, waiters, and chefs in the Swan restaurant were very kind and the food was decent. We also thought we had booked two nights but actually had only booked one and the receptionist was so understanding and helpful in correcting this. Additionally, they honor a hospital rate, which adds ups as a traveling salesperson. The room, pool, and gardens were all excellent.
