Hotel 465 by Regency — Hotel in Indianapolis

Honest Review: Read Before Booking!

This isn’t about being mean — it’s about being real. So here’s what you need to know:

🛏️ The Beds: One of the beds in my room smelled like pee. Not like maybe pee — like definite, undeniable, should-I-be-worried-about-my-health levels of pee. The other bed? Fine. So it's a 50/50 gamble. Like a weird mattress-based version of Russian roulette. Pro Tip: Just spend the extra $20 a night and save yourself the surprise.

🧺 Linens and Towels (or lack thereof): There are no blankets. Let me say that again: no. blankets. Sheets and pillowcases are included, but... well, let’s just say they were either very stained or just straight-up unwashed. Either way, bring your own bedding if you want any peace of mind. Also — towels? Don’t expect a full-size bath towel. You get two rags and two hand towels no larger than the kind you'd keep in your kitchen. Prepare to drip dry like it’s a camping trip.

🚿 The Bathroom: I didn’t know if I was getting cleaner or dirtier in the shower. The whole setup just had that “maybe mold, maybe memories” vibe. If you're squeamish, maybe try showering with bottled water and prayer.

🔒 Security: There are three locks on the door, which is comforting until you realize that unless you're packing a Glock, they’re probably more decorative than effective.

💵 Cash Deposit Only: This was mildly annoying at first, but I can see how it benefits people who don’t want to wait 10 days for a card refund. But please — keep the receipt! No receipt = no refund. I didn’t personally run into this issue, but I watched another guest learn that the hard way in the lobby.

💡 Lighting: There's a balcony light directly outside the window that is so bright, it gives the illusion of eternal sunrise. You will never wake up thinking it’s still night. Ever.

🐜 Surprisingly Bug-Free: This might’ve been the biggest shocker of all — no bugs. Not even a suspicious crawling noise. A true miracle. (With the exception of flies)

🧑‍💼 The Staff: The one real highlight: the employee I interacted with was helpful, polite, and had the kind of “I know this place is rough but I’m doing my best” energy. Props to them.

🛍️ Bonus Points: There’s a decent little smoke shop right next door. Convenient if you need to calm your nerves post-check-in.

Final Verdict: If you're planning to stay here, come prepared:

Bring your own blankets and towels.

Prepare for the potential of urine-scented nightmares.

Don’t forget your deposit receipt.

Maybe double-check your life choices.

But hey — if you’ve got thick skin, low standards, and friends who are very forgiving, this might just be the deal of the decade.

Otherwise… shell out the extra $20 and stay literally...

Do not get a room at this hotel. We stayed there for a few nights and it has roaches. They first put us in a room with no fridge or microwave (we had paid for the deluxe room). We complained so they moved us to another room that had only a fridge even tho on Priceline it says it has fridge and microwave in the deluxe rooms. Our 1st room the smoke detector had no battery and the 2nd room had no smoke detector in it at all. The water was shut off the morning of our second day there and the front desk kept saying it should be back on anytime and they said they would bring us some jugs of water that evening but never did. After it was still off the following morning we found another hotel to go to. They offered us a discount if we stayed another night since we refused they refused a refund or anything. I will be contacting the health department as well. DO...

This is genuinely the nastiest hotel room I've ever experienced. I walked in and was immediately greeted with a roach beside my bed. There was only two pillows a room and suspicious stains on the bedding and on almost every other surface in our room. Not to mention the other various bugs scattered throughout the room and the poorly cleaned bathtub and stained toilet. There was also a strange and unpleasant smell. Nothing could've prepared me for that. This hotel is not somewhere to bring your family because not only was there a problem with the rooms, there was a man openly carrying around a gun with a woman who was crying and yelling at him. Over all, do not make a reservation if you expect...
