Regency Inn

This is a MOTEL - drive up and park infront of your room, type place. No amenities other than WiFi and that's a little slow. COX cable TV with basic channels. Very, very basic room. Microwave and Frig with little freezer comes in handy for refreezing your ice packs. Coffee only is offered at the front desk. No hair dryer, no coffee maker, no breakfast.. BARE BONES LIVING About our room - definitely is a smoking room since it smell like smoke and there's an ashtray on the table. Carpets are sticky and need cleaning, walls have peeling paint and the towel bar in the bathroom is missing the bar. Minimal soap & shampoo, 2 bath towels, one hand towel, and 2 wash cloths. No bath mat. Bed sheets were clean, but pillows were flat as pancakes to the point of why bother? Has a desk, a dresser and a table with seating for 2. Cheap date at $58 a a night ($44+tax) and they have weekly rates. This is an old school budget motel with no frills. Fine for quick stop over night or for RVers wanting to find something immediately off Hwy 40. El Reno is part of Route 66. Ok, area comparisons - we stayed across the road at a Best Western. It had 2 queen beds, very clean, extra towels and soap, 2 suitcase butlers, hair dryer, coffee maker, frig and microwave, 2 person table walk in shower, bath mat, inground pool and free hot breakfast and free coffee all day. My price with BW Membership was $82 w tax ($75 base), We figured the $25 difference for the extra bed and free breakfast for 2, made up the price difference. So, stay at Regency Inn as a pass through stay - 1 nighter and get breakfast at an area fast food place. Long term stays, pick something nicer. Since most other places have more amenities and service and we figure just breakfast alone would cost around $15-20 so short term, good deal - long term, not so much

Good

Be aware ROACHES! I have photos to prove it. Manager agreed to refund my second night, and he never followed through. Don't stay there!

The people were nice got us checked in quickly the room was very clean didn’t take long to cook down

This is a budget roadside hotel that needs renovation. It is clear they are simply trying to milk this dying building of its last bits of revenue. It’s cheap, it was clean but everything is in need of updating. Towels threadbare, worn out sheets, blankets and bedspreads. There is a cannabis shop in the parking lot. The evening we arrived there was a guest a few doors down cooking on a propane flat top grill outside his room. The grill was on top of the hotel table from his room. I was surprised the proprietor allowed this. He seemed to be a regular, perhaps a construction worker. What he was cooking smelled great. Just a little weird. I posted a picture of the grilling. Unless you are counting your pennies I would try one of the other budget options next time.

This room was $55 as compared to the Day's Inn right next door charging $95. It's clean, mini- fridge, microwave, large flat panel TV so what more do you need when stopping to sleep after 10 hours of driving. It's a great deal.

Clean, quiet room. Nice surprise along old Rte. 66. The room was spacious for our family of 4. There was a microwave and small fridge with mini freezer and it was already cold upon arrival. The a/c was a bit loud, but we like having white noise in the room to drown out any outside noise, not that we heard any. The owner was friendly and helpful, but he is strict about following his rules about breakfast times and was a bit stingy not giving us ice upon departure. Would stay here again!

Quiet room, not overrun with oil field workers or road crews. Nice enough amenities, prices about the same as others in the area. Meager breakfast. Clean bathroom area. Good heating/cooling. Wi-fi speedy and easy.
