My stay at The Founders Inn was quite disappointing, with issues like unhelpful staff and inadequate room service impacting my experience. However, the beautiful grounds and spacious layout of the hotel provided a nice, relaxing atmosphere to some extent.

The room itself felt a bit damp and had a strange smell when I entered, which was quite off-putting. I also had issues with noise from the hallway and the mattress wasn't as comfortable as I hoped.

Service was largely lacking; I felt like a burden whenever I requested anything, and my queries often went unanswered. This left me feeling unimportant during my stay.

The inn is conveniently located near I64, so getting there was easy. Unfortunately, I was misinformed about local dining options, which added to my frustration throughout the stay.

The breakfast option was quite limited and overpriced, with a cold buffet that promised more than it delivered. The quality of the meals I had in the restaurant didn’t meet my expectations, leaving me wanting more variety and flavor.

The hotel's grounds were beautiful, and the indoor and outdoor pools were enjoyable. However, navigating from one building to another for my room was somewhat inconvenient.

I recently stayed at The Founders Inn & Spa, and while the grounds are beautiful and the staff was friendly, my experience was marred by cleanliness issues. The first room I checked into was not properly cleaned, with debris on the floor and leftover items from previous guests. After switching rooms, I found the new space better but still felt damp and musty. Dining was hit-or-miss, with the restaurant lacking in attentiveness during busy times. Overall, I appreciated the scenic atmosphere and welcoming staff, but the room conditions and service flaws really detracted from my stay.

I appreciated the hotel's beautiful grounds and enjoyed the delicious breakfast options, but I faced significant issues with service and room conditions. The check-in process was frustratingly slow, and I found the room to be neglected with broken amenities. Overall, while there are some positives, my experience was overshadowed by a lack of proper maintenance and responsiveness from the staff.

My recent stay at The Founders Inn & Spa was a mixed experience. While the beautiful grounds and historic charm created a lovely backdrop, I encountered several issues with the room's cleanliness and maintenance. The staff was generally friendly, though some service aspects fell short, especially during peak hours. Overall, it felt like a place with potential but in need of some updates and better organization. 🌸✨

The spa services were excellent and added value to my stay, but the indoor and outdoor pools could use some improvements in cleanliness. More amenities like a coffee station could enhance the overall experience.
