I enjoyed my stay at the Founders Inn and Spa. The grounds are lovely, beds comfortable, room clean.

Beautiful property with lots of outdoor benches around a pond with fountain. Nice outdoor room. Room was very clean and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable bed, nice tiled shower with glass door, lots of drawer and closet space, mini fridge and coffee pot, and separate sink area in room with vanity and a magnifying light up wall mirror. Access to sitting area with fire place on ground floor for guests and vending machines for drinks and snacks. We were in a separate building from the main building next to the pool. Very quiet and peaceful stay. Highly recommend!

All good except TV was having issues - offer for us to move rooms but it was 11:00 pm. After a concert nearby we wanted to watch a little late night TV before going to sleep.

We really enjoyed our stay at Founders Inn. It was so comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was the perfect , quiet location.

Check in was fine, wasn't the friendliest, but it was efficient. The room was in a building that was being renovated, frankly, this would have been helpful information before we booked, smelling paint fumes through the building all night wasn't the best.
The TV in our room didn't work when we first got there, and it took over an hour for the "Engineer to take a look" who's suggestion was to wiggle the box at the back and turn the tv off and on, despite it being a little more complicated than that. Nice grounds, not so nice area, heavily congested with a ton of traffic.

We travel a lot and loved staying here. The breakfast buffet was delicious and very reasonable . The room was large and loved that we had a sofa to sit on. It was great having room service everyday since a lot of hotels don’t do that anymore. We will definitely stay here again next time.
4.0
Stay was ok. Staff was very responsive. However, I don’t think our room had been checked before check-in. Tables were dusty and bathroom floor had long dark hair and shower drain had a large wad of wet hair. Might stay again but maybe not if we could find a better alternative.

My overall is only 4 stars, because their site listed they have EV car charging stations. They only had Tesla and I wasn't able to charge my car. They should be more specific in those details when posting.

I liked the ease it was getting to the room and the assistance I needed when the battery in my door lock needed changing. The maintenance guys were great and in VERY good spirit for the time of day.

The Founders Inn was wonderful. I wish the Spa had not booked during my stay. The servers/bartenders were all awesome and deserve a raise! We will be back next year!

The property is absolutely beautiful!!! I can't say that enough. Since learned during holidays some perks are closed when staff is short. Example; spa, bar....looking forward to those items. However, absolutely beatiful property and will go back!

Love this hotel. The staff is very professional and offers great service. The hotel goes above and beyond to decorate, you could spend a good amount of time just walking the lobby and outdoor grounds and enjoying the look and feel of a classy hotel.

This is listed as an elegant retreat. The grounds ar wonderful. The breakfast buffet is superb regarding staff and quality of the food. However, the 2 different ladies at the front desk were totally uninterested in greeting or even attempt to speak to guests. The room was definitely not clean- rug with deep large stains, several walls with stains and the wash room not tidy- the shower was a mere dribble and the ceiling dripped from the room above. These things were not what the Hilton brand stands for.

I liked the fact that the hotel is on the University grounds making it very easy and convenient. The lighted garden and fountain in pond was very beautiful and unique. I was very happy with my room with one queen sized bed, but even though it appeared very clean, there was a urine odor in the shower area and I’m thinking since this is a pet friendly hotel, maybe a guest kept their dog on the shower(?). Other than this, I was very happy with the hotel and stay

Love the old look to the property but yet modern and renovated. The spa was wonderful, a fantastic experience. Rooms were cozy and quiet. We very much enjoyed our stay. Oh and the dog park was extremely large, 2 of them to accommodate a lot of furbabies.

The room is dirty (there are crumbs all over the floor, there’s not even Kleenex in the bathroom) and the room reeks of marijuana as if someone has been vaping in here.
Staff said the didn’t think they could yet maid service up tonight, and said we could go back and forth between reception and our room if we needed to change rooms (aware of the fact there’s a tropical storm outside & we we’re staying in the furthest building).

Hotel is fine for the money. Clean and reasonable price. Refrigerator was broken and it was inconvenient.

Our room had no hooks to hang wet towels or other items. We ended up using the doorknobs as hooks.
Aww otherwise, it is a very clean and comfortable place to stay.

Excellent front desk staff, room was comfortable and the extra sink outside the bathroom made sharing the room between 4 people more convenient. Breakfast buffet was delicious! Staff was super friendly all around.

Everything about this property is amazing!
It is beautiful inside and out!
The staff was extremely nice and pleasant.
The pool was nice for both the kids and adults.
Kid-friendly.
Awesome fitness center. My only suggestion is for the temperature to be at a lower temperature.
Located near so many stores. You wouldn't need to drive.
Located 18 miles from the oceanfront. One morning I biked to the beach and back to the Inn. It was a safe route to bike.
Our next trip to the beach we will be staying here again!

The Hotel Outer property is beautiful. The pool is nice .. has a slide kids love. The interior of the Hotel is old. The rooms are small , the sofa chairs are old and Make you wonder if they have ever been stream cleaned. We had a switch of rooms , the first had not been vacuumed or the floors / cleaned / mopped. The mirrors had finger prints .. the second room was clean. The sheets are very , very itchy and the bed was hard . No bed bugs though and front desk staff was delightful. I would not personally stay here again though .
