The staff was very knowledgeable about the university that was on the property. We were very excited to have dinner at the restaurant our first night and the menu looked extremely appealing. Unfortunately there was absolutely no flavor in any of the food, my husband’s steak was raw, my soup ended up just being shreds of turkey with rice. The split pea risotto was the exact same texture of my “soup” except that it had peas in it.

Nice place, didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant but it looked good, particularly the brunch. Nice staff, well maintained facility, fair pricing. My two wishes: 1) availability of good coffee. There was a coffee maker in the room, but it was poor quality, powdered creamer, etc. I expected a Hilton property to have better options that don’t require walking all the way to another building to the restaurant or waiting for room
Service to get a decent cup of coffee. Maybe have an urn of fresh coffee in the lobby of each building available in the mornings. 2) the pillows were the kind that look fluffy but reduce to about 2 inches thick when you lie on them. If you’re fussy about pillows/have back issues etc. consider bringing your own. Otherwise a nice stay and about a 20 minute drive to the beach. If the air quality hadn’t been so poor (wildfire smoke) we would have definitely enjoyed the pool and grounds as it is lovely.

This space is gorgeous, but it’s also tricky to navigate and overpriced. The breakfast buffet was good, but we had to get assistance twice just to get the waffle batter to work. The slide on the pool was closed the whole second day of our stay, and it closed at 5 pm the first day which was wild to me. We only got to go on it once. The vending machines were great, though.

We enjoyed a wonderful three-night stay at Founders Inn and Spa with my wife and our young children, and it was the perfect family escape. The exceptionally large outdoor pool was the highlight — spacious, clean, and such a relaxing spot for the whole family to enjoy. The overall atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, which made it feel like a true getaway.
The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the staff was exceptionally nice and attentive, quickly helping with anything we needed. It’s a fantastic option for families looking for a peaceful, welcoming resort experience near Virginia Beach. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend.

What a lovely hotel-absolutely beautiful and peaceful grounds. The room was quiet, bed was comfortable and the shower was great with nice towels and fragrant toiletries. I didn’t get the chance to visit the spa but my son and daughter in law (residents of Virginia Beach) say it’s their go-to spa. I usually stay with my kids but occasionally when the whole family is together, I’ll definitely stay here again!

Let me start by saying I would definitely come back. It’s such an awesome place overall-old time feel but updated nicely. However, I will do that being aware of some things that might not make it my option for every trip depending on situation or who is coming. Clean & nice space in rooms. Despite being on our floor starting housekeeping & signs all off our door-we left a nice pile of towels ready for them & they never did our room. So, we had no towels & full trash. Called & told them I was waiting to take kids to pool, they told me to wait. I waited 45 min and finally took my kids. They did bring them later in evening. Also, if you or your kids love the outdoor pool since it is summer..:know that the hours are not very long being that it’s summer & pool season. 11-7 was pretty short and so we showed up 20 min before closing-they told us we had 20 min when we asked-so my kids rushed to throw suits on be back asap…to be told “oh well the slide closes 15 min earlier than the pool so you only have 4 min now.” They got to slide one time bc instead of a worker monitoring the slide-the have a white board sign that 1 entry at a time while anyone else waits at bottom AND outside entire gate. So, by time someone climbs up & goes, then someone else climbs up its 2 min. Just a little odd. Otherwise-it is very pretty! Staff were overall kind.

I had some kind of bug or roach in the bathroom, the ac was on but the room never got cool. The bed was made everyday but the sheets weren’t changed and the skin and showers were cleaned and I saw spider webs. One day my room was left ajar when I came back at night. The food at the restaurant wasn’t great. The breakfast Buffett wasn’t worth the $20 cost.

I think for the price of the inn the experience should have been better.

I wish the listing for this hotel had called out that it is affiliated with Regent.

It is a lovely building and the room was great.

Amber was a fabulous help when we couldn’t get our room open- thank goodness she was walking by! She tried it as well, and then called maintenance for us. A gem.

The pool is really nice- super large and two lifeguards!!!! The towels were beyond small, but we got extras from the desk.

Everyone we interacted with was amazing and I loved the two queen beds in the room. But the affiliation with Regent was troubling esp the letter right by the doors in the lobby, and we felt on edge throughout the visit.

Our stay was extremely disappointing and far below what I would expect from a Hilton property.

When we arrived, the room had a strong odor that smelled like dog waste mixed with chemicals, as if something had been sprayed to cover it. About an hour later, I found a dead roach on the floor. I went to the front desk, showed a photo, and asked to switch rooms, but was told that was not an option. The only solution offered was to send someone to remove it, but we had already taken care of it ourselves.

Later, we opened the mini fridge and found food left behind from a previous guest. When I threw it away, I noticed another bug near the trash can. Since we had already been told we could not switch rooms, we handled it ourselves.
That night, I found a live centipede in the shower. At that point, we had found three different bugs in the room. I went back to the front desk around 11 p.m. and again asked to switch rooms. The employee apologized and said this was not Hilton standard, but we were still not moved.
The room also had no working air conditioning, and the pull-out couch was extremely uncomfortable with springs that could be felt. We did not sleep and checked out Saturday to stay at a different Hilton.
We were told we would at least receive half our money back, but that did not happen because we supposedly refused housekeeping. The issue was not just cleaning. It was the overall condition of the room: odor, bugs, old food, no air conditioning, and an unusable couch.

When we went down in the morning the restaurant wasn’t open until 7am. On our multi state travel itinerary this is the only hotel that didn’t offer fresh coffee in the lobby. Deal breaker?

We chose the Founders Inn and Spa for the location near the Scope Arena for the International Tattoo event. The grounds of the Founders Inn are lovely...especially the formal garden and the lake. This Hilton Tapestry hotel has the charm of traditional Virginia. The restaurants are very clean and inviting. The menu will change slightly on a daily basis, although most items are offered daily. The servers, especially Sophia and Joseph were very kind and accommodating! They added to the pleasant atmosphere of the dining areas. Rooms were clean and spacious. We LOVED the fireplace in our suite...came in handy on a couple of cool evenings. During our stay, myt husband and I had massages at the spa. They were wonderful. Spa environment was very relaxing and elegant. We will definitely return to the Founders Inn and Spa!

How satisfying is that, after a long drive. Parking was excellent and the many other dining spots and shopping stores on the on Indian River will keep anyone happy.

I really wanted to love this place, and there are definitely some positives, but unfortunately, a few key issues impacted our stay.

The property itself is beautiful, with a lot of historic charm, and it’s impressively clean for its age. That said, our experience fell short in several areas.

We were in town for a funeral and arrived very late, only to be woken up at 7:30 a.m. by loud roofing work directly above us. At no point during booking or during check-in were we informed that construction would be taking place. Even more frustrating, the roofing continued early into the weekend as well, leaving us with no opportunity to rest. We contacted the front desk to ask how long the work would continue and to request a solution, but never received a follow-up from a manager.

Housekeeping was also inconsistent. They came in to remove trash but did not make the bed or clean the room. I had also asked the front desk to replace an empty body wash, but it was never taken care of, I ended up handling it myself. Additionally, the ironing board cover was worn, and the iron had residue on it, making it unusable.

For $300 per night, I expected a much smoother and more attentive experience.

This is an older property that offers many amenities, but it needs to be maintained better. The room was spacious, but needed to be cleaned & vacuumed properly. The floors in the common areas needed vacuuming and mopping. There was an unusual odor in the hallway & in the room. I went to the local market & bought cleaning supplies & freshened the room with an essential oil diffuser. The best part was how quiet the property was.

I called the hotel the Tuesday before my Friday arrival date to first to let them know we would be arriving late Friday night and confirmed that the rooms will still be held. The second reason was to see if the two rooms I reserved can be adjoining rooms. The person I spoke to said the rooms were not adjoining but they were next to each other. Sadly, when my family arrived I was told not only the rooms were NOT next to each other, but in separate buildings. I was in building 4 and my other reserved room was in building 3. I explained to the night auditor I that I had called earlier in the week to confirm the locations of the rooms. I asked her if I reserved two rooms, why would I reserve two rooms in separate buildings. I was told by the night auditor there was nothing noted on my reservations and nothing she could do to change my rooms. So my stay was not poor, but the customer service was not excellent. We visit this part of Virginia twice a year, but I will not be returning to this hotel.

The overall hotel was architecturally beautiful with the gardens and walking trails. It was quite pet friendly. We did not try the breakfast. The area was close to many restaurants for food options. The spa service was good but there were delays due to the staff being 20 minutes behind schedule. There were hairs found on the shower walls and the windows were very dirty which led to our rating for the cleaniless.
