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.

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.

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).

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.

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 .

Staff was wonderful, beautiful room and bathroom, lovely dining room with great food. My only disappointment was my room was not made up when I had been out all day, housekeeping finally came around 5pm, when I had just returned and was exhausted, so I did not have them come in. Not a big deal. Overall, very nice experience and am headed back in a couple months :)

Extensive noise going on in hallway well after 10 at night and was not curtailed by staff. Unsatisfactory, especially considering the price of the room.

I’ve been staying here when I visit for literally years, so everything normally is just fine. The only issue I have I guess it’s more of a personal thing. Their morning breakfast is Buffay style and it’s normally great, however, this time things were different they served a lot of things I couldn’t have. I guess the fact that it’s under new management. They have different options than before which is fine. However, when it came to their scrambled eggs, it was laced with cheese and I could not have it when asking if I could have new eggs made just for me and yes I would pay for it I was told no, you can have the eggs provided or pick something else . However, there is nothing else there for me, and most of the breakfast meats they had were soggy or undercooked. And the server who is helping me asked me what I wanted to drink. I told him orange juice and he said he would be more than happy to help me with, whatever I needed however, after delivering the orange juice to the table, disappeared into the corner with his buddies it was never seen again since I knew I wasn’t going to get my money back for this. I just down the orange juice and left. Was is there all of 6-7 minutes . No tip for any one , I just left.

First room had pets hairs and urine stains and a strong smell of urine in the corridor and room. Upon entering there were dead bugs close to the door. The service of the receptionist I’ve dealt with were so cold and unfriendly. When I requested a room change I was told they don’t have any available rooms and they were not sure about housekeeping either to clean our room. I requested to speak to the manager then only did a room “suddenly become available” the next room we found a used earplug in. The experience was disgusting. I will NEVER stay here again. Please remove from your website.

Ignored by front desk clerk while she finished lengthy phone call. Sent to other end of hotel to building 3. Keycard let us in building but not room. Drove back. Clerk redid key, said call if problem. Asked for number and she snapped "I don't know, google it" and "don't you have a phone?" before writing it down for us. Went back to room only to find it was already occupied. No answer at number she gave us. Drove back and asked for manager. He found she'd sent us to the wrong room altogether. Met us in the correct room with our luggage and gave us complimentary buffet breakfast vouchers. Decided on room service. No menu in room, no answer on phone at room service or front desk. Went back to main building and bumped into manager again. He gave us menu and came to room to take order. 2 hours later no food. Wife went to bed, I went to cancel order. Food came out just as was canceling. Brought back to room to discover fish & Chips instead of the carnitas tacos I ordered. Worst experience ever had at a Hilton. Not even acknowledged as Honors member let alone treated as a valued guest until breakfast before leaving. The staff there were delightful. Booked here because we had such a good stay several yeas back. Will never stay here again despite the nice manager and breakfast staff. No excuse for such front desk rudeness.
