We have stayed at Founders Inn for multiple visits to the Virginia Beach area. Beds are comfortable and rooms are clean. We love the easy access on and off Interstate 64. It sits close enough for day visits to the beach, but has a nice size swimming pool if you just want to stay put. The restaurant has a great staff and the food is good. We will stay there again when in the area.

Last time was better

Overall my stay was good. My two biggest complaints are in my bathroom there was no shower curtain. I went to the front desk and ask for one, however I did not receive one. My only other problem the door to my room. was really messed up. To get out the room you had to pull so hard just to open it.
