    It was below freezing in the room at check-in as no heat was on and the outside temperature was near zero. Electrical outlets are loose, and devices would not stay plugged in. Breakfast was scheduled at 8:00 am which is too late.

    Location is very good.

    There was a old gallon of milk in the fridge and the fridge was unplugged, microwave was dirty. No iron. Did not look like anyone had seeped but just mopped over dirt and had a STRONG smell of fabuloso. I was overcharged by 25+, the booking said 126.00 which included taxes and fees and the hotel charged 158.00

    The customer service was atrocious. They act like they are a huge corporation and you can not get a hold of anyone who works there. They told me the extra charges will go back on my card when we checked in, and within 12 hours they said that they would not honor their word. I paid almost double the amount and they said the best they could do is take off $50. I could go on and on about what was said but I am writing multiple reviews and putting in a complaint to the FTC about the scam they are running.

    Nothing really to say about liking the place. It is what it is. Its actually not a great place at all. They take advantage and scam people.

    I booked this in May. When get there they first wanted to charge us $202.70 . When reserved said $163 and some change. When we told them paying by cash they jumped the price up to almost $240. They finally agreed to let us have it for $207. My card trying be charged $150 when we got receipt. They first try to put us in a room not clean and beds wasn't even made. They said room would be ready in 45 minutes. Then the cleaning lady brought us a key to different room and said they put us in different room. The room we finally got didn't have a phone in it or working lamp. Called the office on my cell complained. They said they would fix it shortly. Hour went by. Called back they told me come get a new light bulb. Fiancée went to get it. He fell because sidewalk was uneven and he's legally blind. The owner walked him back to the room. Owner put new light bulb in and it still didn't work. So he went got us new lamp. They show on their website continental breakfast included. Fiancée went to get some. Owner said it wasn't included in or deal. Come to find out no one get it. We also found out by locals and police Regency Inn is known for doing things that way. We checked reviews even some of them says same thing how they was treated. I WOULDN'T EVEN STAY THERE AGAIN IF IT WAS ONLY MOTEL IN IOLA. I DEFINITELY WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

    The fridge had moldy food in it when we got there, and the non-smoking room we booked smelled of cigarettes, we were there 2 nights, and we checked out 2 hours before the check out time. We left trash in the trash can and a couple of cups on the counter that wouldn't fit. We were charged an extra $130 for "litter" and because they had to clean the room. I'm sorry, but when did cleaning a room after someone's stay become an extra charge? It should be a given that they have to take the trash out and sweep? I would absolutely avoid this place at all costs. The only plus is that it's cheap. The owners know obviously nothing about running a hotel.

    Trting to save a bit of money after an a long trip for my sister's duneral, I booked a room for $65.43 through Booking.com. When I got to the hotel a lady was staying in room 110 stating a bullet hole was in her bathroom mirror and the hotel man said; oh no it's a dent. Since we could not cancel, I told him I had a reservation. I saw a sign on the counter that stated: if you have a pet tell us now or we will charge you $100. dogs allowed no cats! I told him I had a small dog in a carrier and he charged me $20 pet fee ( never have i been charged a pet fee but whatever) which would make my stay $85.43 but when I got my credit card receipt the bill was over $97!!! When I asked why the hotel man's wife came out and told me they charged a hotel fee!!! What a rip off!!! The original price on booking.com was for $47 but the price changed because I requested 2 beds. The hotel stated they had free breakfast but the sign said breakfast hours changed from 8 am to 9:30 am. So basically since most travelers are gone by then, most of their postings on booking regarding prices and amenities are a lie to draw you in and jack-up the prices. Go to any other hotel and save yourself the problems we experienced. Finally after we got to the room the TV had no signal I called and asked why and the guy shows up to our room woth a remote after his wife literally asked me well did you turn it on? Did you turn it on with the remote? Well yeah! Then I tell him it is not a remote issue so he says oh well you have to choose HDI1 not TV because it's cable ma'am... seriously? An hour later at midnight the hotel man again knocked on the door as he had kept my Driver's license and instead of calling brought them to the room, which was nice but it was 2 hours after check-in and midnight. The room was cold and the blankets thin. I turned on the heat and it made a loud whining noise so freeze or no sleep? I chose to freeze 😩 Worst experience in a hotel EVER!!!

    My stay at the Regency Inn Iola was very disappointing.

    • Solo traveller
    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I did not like anything about the Regency Inn Iola. I did not eat breakfast at the location because there was a charge of $10 per night. Because of both knees being totally replaced, I had requested a room on the ground floor and a handicap bathroom. I received an email on Sunday before my stay saying they were pleased to let me know that my request was confirmed and they would be able to arrange this for me at no extra charge. The front desk manager said there weren't any queen size beds on the ground floor. If I wanted a ground floor room, I would have to pay an extra $12 or more because it would have a king size bed or 2 double beds. My booking confirmation described a queen room with a hot tub and spa bath (not provided) and a tea and a coffee maker. There was a coffee maker, but nothing to make coffee or tea with. The breaker kicked off 10 minutes after I was there. The front desk person very rudely asked me what I plug in. If I couldn't plug in my hair dryer and use it, how could I take a shower. I tried to use the TV. I could get nothing to work on it. The maintenance staff came and got the lights back on and tried to get the TV to work. The front desk manager came and couldn't get the TV to work either and complained about guests messing with things. Those guests wouldn't have to mess with the TV if there had been instructions how to control the TV. In my case, that was not even an option, because no one could get the TV to work. The front desk manager said he would have someone come and get it working. I had to leave and go enjoy what I was in Iola for. When I returned to my room several hours later, there was not even a TV remote in the room. So I am guessing they never got the TV working. I am requesting a 100% refund for the cost of my room $57.46, which was only basically a bed. The booking was non-refundable, so I would have been out my money if I had decided to go to another hotel with amenities that I could use.

    I did not like anything about the Regency Inn Iola.
