A bad review on the Regal??? That's so WRONG!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/12/11
For years now, all my cousins & our spouses have been staying at the Regal for our annual Roork Cousins Reunion in August. We certainly plan to return there for our August 2011 reunion too. We have a wonderful time at the Regal. It IS clean...VERY. The rooms are large & comfortable. The staff...from the manager, desk clerks, to the housekeeping staff are just the nicest people you could ever hope to do business with. They are just lovely people & they all work hard to see that our group is well cared for every year.
Okay...it isn't real "fancy", but it is very pretty & they have been redecorating everything. I was very impressed with the changes last year. (Hmmm...I have stayed at some very "fancy" & very expensive hotels & found them not even nearly as clean & nice as the Regal.)
The pool is sparkling & we love that it stays open late enough for it to be used AFTER all the day's activities.
It is ALL no smoking & no pets. That is important to our group....even the smoker's & pet owners in our group prefer rooms that have not had other people's animals & old stale smoke smell in the sleeping areas.
The breakfast? Okay, I'll admit that I liked the big "cooked" breakfast at Docker's better. But most of our group is just fine with the little breakfast bar at the Regal....It is adequate, clean, and FREE, for goodness sake!!! If you want something else...Docker's is still next door & has a very low-priced breakfast buffet. Go pay for breakfast there.
Oh, yes....the elevator! Considering that we are all "seniors" in our group (or for anybody having to transport luggage to the second floor) we really appreciate the elevator.
Our entire reunion group will highly reccommend the Regal Hotel & staff to anyone vacationing in Branson. And...if you are having a reunion...give them a try? The Regal is the place to stay. They will treat you like family.
In case I sound like maybe I own the place....nope. And, not related to anyone there. Don't know the people personally. Don't own stock in the hotel. I'm not getting a paycheck for this review either. I'm just a satisfied customer...year after year. (Of course, after writing such a great review...I may be asking for a discount in the future.)
