What happened to businesses that emphasize good customer service? Each call to the front desk was a multi-effort attempt, with nearly 20 rings each time before someone finally answered. The young woman at the restaurant's front entrance desk seemed unknowledgeable and unmotivated to learn more about any allergens. You'd expect someone working in food service to have basic training about allergies and to take them seriously, or at least be motivated to ask a manager for help. This was a real turn-off, so I spent my hard-earned money elsewhere for dining. I might escalate the latter complaint to Hilton Corp because that's unacceptable. Finally, as other reviewers noted, the property decor was dated, and the rooms were dark. Don't be fooled by the "Virginia Beach" name; it is landlocked and shares a campus with a Christian University. The vibe of the property is plantation and or divinity.

The property is huge with nice walking trails that are mostly covered with duck droppings all over the path. After my first night our room was not cleaned or made up. I found a security guard (Chuancey) who went and got us fresh towels and a free breakfast voucher as an apology from the hotel. The next day our room was skipped over again but we were lucky to have double the towels that Chauncey brought us the day before. When we retuned to our room around 8pm, after 3 attempts calling the front desk a man answered the phone and his reply was housekeeping went home. We stayed 3 nights and never got our room cleaned. The only time we saw housekeeping was when we checked out. They were outside the room waiting to clean it for the next guest. We will never stay at this property again. We visit this area to visit our son who is in the military 2 or 3 times a year.

The founders Inn is a beautiful hotel located in Virginia Beach. The landscaping has always given me that ah moment. The rooms are clean and the water is hot! Never did make it to the pool, but it is right outside of my room when I go. I love that the spa is on site and that there is an amazing restaurant that not only offers dining but room service. As an event planner, I absolutely love the fact that you can do weddings and vow renewals at this property.
