We had a wonderful stay with The Founders Inn over July 4 weekend. We were looking for a nice enough vacation where we could get away for awhile and be a short drive from the beach but not have the crowds of the beach on a holiday weekend. The Founders Inn was PERFECT for this. In fact, we didn't even... more

The hotel is upscale with beautiful grounds. We booked the hotel through priceline.com and was given a room with one queen bed. When we checked in the lady at the front desk was very friendly and upgraded us to a room with two beds with no problem. Please note if you book through priceline.com you will be charged an $11/night... more

This place was only adequate...Yet it was kind of a nostalgic trip back into the sixties of what used to be considered luxury...However, speaking of trips it's twenty miles to the ocean from here. The staff were nice,but it was uncomfortable when the bellboy seemed to have been forced to help us to our room even though we had no... more

My husband and I were looking for a little getaway without our toddler. We booked The Founder's Inn couples package that includes massages. The spa was nice. We enjoyed our treatments. The hotel itself has very colonial decor, which is not our thing, but it wasn't awful. It just is what it is. Our room was clean. People were friendly.... more

W e arrived at 10:30P. The room was cramped and small. There was lint on the floor and crumbs in the bed. It was the worst hotel experience I've had in a long time. more

My boyfriend and I had a great time at The Founders Inn this weekend. The room was nice and the staff was very friendly. We weren't as close to an actual beach as I wanted to be (about 20 miles), we had fun splashing around in the indoor pool. We didn't even mind getting lost trying to find one of... more

Was pleasantly suprised with the amenities of the Spa, Black Swan restuarant and Sunday Brunch. The gift shop was having a generous sale and I was able to purchase some stylish items at a great price. The gift shop salesperson was delightful and most helpful. The desk and housekeeping staff were very polite and competent. Observed the general manager who... more

My husband, myself and my two girls had a lovely time at the Founder's Inn ans Spa. The service was top notch from the bellhop to the dining staff. We enjoyed a great meal in the swan terrace and my husband took full use at the fitness center. I thought the prices were reasonable and services exceptional. Look forward to... more

Overall a very nice hotel with a colonial feel. A friend and I were doing a girls weekend and the check in was a breeze. They had all of our room info ready plus all of our spa treatments together in a folder, nice touch. One of the bell boys carried all of our bags to our room, set everything... more
