I recently spent 5 years working in my self-employed small business out of the Regus Sugarhouse Center facility in Utah. During this time, all of the center staff were quick to respond and help with issues ranging from IT to bringing packages to my office. I would give the local staff six out of five stars! However, with the onset of COVID in March I decided to temporarily work from home instead, intending to move back in a month or two. I was concerned both for my own health as well as the possibility of the entire building shutting down if there were to be any outbreak in the entire building. When it became apparent that the situation was not going to resolve in the short term, I opened a conversation with both the center staff and corporate Regus about the possibilities and options to terminate my lease agreement early due to the fact that with the unforeseen consequences of the pandemic, Regus in my estimation could no longer provide the full services to which I had agreed. The only offers I received would have had the effect to either extend the overall length of the lease by several additional months in exchange for a free month of rent or have a short term discount with longer term catch up payments. Both of which may have helped some other businesses with the intention of staying longer term. But in my situation with high risk individuals in my home, I still did not feel safe to continue working in the center other than short visits for mail and supplies. Later, I offered to pay out two months additional rent in advance in exchange for termination of my lease four months early was was declined out of hand by corporate. I ended up paying premium Regus rates for an office space and services that I basically did not use for over six months due to the pandemic. I was extremely disappointed with Regus's responses to my situation and as a result moved permanently to work from home at the conclusion of my lease agreement. The local center staff was kind and supportive throughout the entire time, and I will truly miss their support and friendship. But based on my financial experience and corporate actions that conveyed zero interest in my challenges and difficulties during extraordinary circumstances, I will not be returning to Regus in the future. While the customer service in the center was always excellent, my corporate customer service experience was anything but. Before the pandemic started, I would have rated my experience at 4-5 stars. I knew that I was paying a premium price per square foot, but the location, amenities, security and center staff support were generally worth the extra cost. During the pandemic, my experience would be zero or negative, and as that was the last impression the company left on me, I settled on an overall experience of two stars. I felt that Regus as a corporate entity had its own interests at heart, and not mine as a client and customer. Thus, I am no longer a Regus tenant.
