Regency Inn - Hotel in Gatesville - 2307 E Main St, USA

Positive: It was an old motel that was renovated. You entered your rooms from the outside, very old building but it was excellent! It was quieter than any hotel that I have ever stayed in. We could not hear anyone in the next room, not even the traffic. Excellent! Negative: There wasn't a continental breakfast but the rate for the rooms made up for it.

Very clean and well furnished hotel rooms. The owners are super nice and we're very attentive. They seem to really care about the place. Our room had a microwave, coffee maker, and nice size refrigerator. The shower has great water pressure and a high quality Speakman head. The air conditioner in the room was easy to control and worked great. In short, everything was awesome.

This was a great stay while in the area. The staff was very friendly, and the room was very clean. They do ask to clean the room to have inspected before checking out, but it's not too much to ask for an adult. The scenic area out front was serene and a nice touch, and there were lots of places to walk to from there. I would definitely recommend staying here versus and large chain hotel.

I stayed one night at the Regency Inn in Gatesville, Texas. This motel was previously called Regency Inn Mobile Motels. I confirmed this with the desk staff, he said they changed the name when it came under new ownership. My first impression from the street was that it reminded me a lot of old motels, even a little like the Bates motel due to its dated look, side of the road layout and exterior decor. I was hesitant and skeptical when I pulled in and parked. Many of the old Motel 6 locations looked similar. The price I would consider very reasonable, especially for what you will actually get here. Due to the layout, the rooms are more like suites next to each other. You can park directly in front of your room which is a big bonus. All of the rooms are single story so no messing with stairs or elevators or luggage carts. That puts the Regency Inn in Gatesville, Texas on the top of my list for ease of access and entry. I like having my car near my room. Entering the room I saw the same amenities that all of the motels and hotels have, a TV, King Sized Bed, some drawers for clothing, a mini refrigerator, sink, private shower and toilet. It also had a decent sized table with chair to work at, a sofa chair, microwave and coffee maker. THE GOOD: This is the cleanest smelling room I have ever come across. It smelled fresh, not stale. In fact its the only motel or hotel I have stayed in that hasn't smelled stale. That's really impressive. The air conditioner worked brilliantly, not to cold, the air not pointed directly onto the bed, the quality of air coming from it was fresh. The over all decor is nice, its not as glamourous looking as some of the motels and hotels I have stayed at. But it's quiet, private, secure, and the air is fresh. Those are always the most important features. Walking distance to McDonald's, Taco Bell and 711. THE BAD: No backup door jam lock. The free internet kept dropping and was pretty slow compared to modern expectations for motels and hotels. I had to use my mobile phone WIFI hotspot to upload this review. You will need to bring a USB to AC Power plug, since the rooms do not have USB Power Sockets at the time of this review. Black Locusts or Crickets! I moved the sofa chair and found two dead black locusts of crickets. They were to small and shaped wrong to be grasshoppers. Later into the evening I went in to use the restroom, and looked down at the tile on the restroom floor and there was another black locust or cricket wiggling. Obviously, they had been poisoned because there isn't any reason for them to be dead or dying. While I don't like finding bugs of any kind in a motel or hotel room, I used to get crickets frequently and I prefer a dead one to a live noisy one. Final Thoughts: Bring your own coffee or tea, there was only one coffee bag in the room. Bring your own hair conditioner, there was only a unscented generic shampoo, but it lathered up well. I'll keep this motel on my list to revisit if I come through Gatesville, Texas area again.

I called ahead to ensure my room was good to go and that I would be checking in that afternoon. The female was rude and short with me on the call. Upon arrival I was met by someone running the front and he seemed very nice. There was pubic hair on the bathroom floors and toilet. Looked like dried shredded lettuce on the sheets. staff accused me of bringing a dog and demanded to see the room (I didn't). Staff had several pets on property. It was insulting that they said they "heard a bark" and then came to me and stuck their heads in the door to look around. I left without trying the breakfast. They do offer wifi but I'm not sure how secure it is, if at all.

We try to go to Gatesville atleast once a year to put flowers out on my parents graves and visit some family. We always stay here, they are so nice and always remember us. They are always so friendly and really go above and beyond to help your stay be good. They always make sure everything is clean and ready for you and that you have everything you need even before you check in. That's why we stay there everytime we go, they are great people

I can't say enough about this family owned hotel. The rooms were absolutely clean and well appointed. The people were fabulous, and very helpful. And for us, even though it was a few minutes off of our route, it was well worth the drive. On top of that, when I asked about a good place for dinner, I got an excellent recommendation. And they have a vegetable garden growing in the middle of their parking lot. If I'm ever even close to that part of the country again, I'll definitely go out of my way to stay there again!

They exceeded my expectations and my room was great. Very clean the room practically looked like newly built even though they've been there for yrs. The staff is very friendly and nice and compassionate. It is also very decently priced. There's even rooms for non smokers. Room had a coffee maker, microwave wave, TV and a pretty decently sized fridge. Bed was really soft felt great, great shower too and there's wifi, just outstanding definitely will stay again.
