Regency Inn in Los Angeles

Twelve blocks east of the Rose Bowl on Colorado Boulevard, Regency Inn occupies a two-story motor-court building in Eagle Rock, an Eastside neighborhood between Pasadena and Glendale. Rooms open directly onto the parking lot, a layout suited to drivers passing through on Route 66's old alignment rather than guests planning to walk to sights.

Free parking sits steps from every door, and the on-site office handles late arrivals past midnight. Eagle Rock's taco stands and Colorado Boulevard diners cluster within a five-minute drive, with downtown Los Angeles reachable in twenty minutes via the 134.
