Regus offers all the same flexibility as WeWork but without the flashy decorations and services, and thus offers a lower price premium.

If you still want all that then Regus has a new sub brand called Spaces: https://www.spacesworks.com/

Working out of a Spaces office - I'd have to disagree. Services not provided include microwaves, coffee, reliable Wifi, working Ethernet ports, comfortable office temperature, remotely competent staff, reliablly being able to unlock your office door, an ability not to throw away personal belongings in the kitchen, breakout areas (they're turning > half of every kitchen into another office and they're already tiny compared to WeWork's), clean toilets, clean kitchens, any events, any sort of help with letting guests into the building.
Have you tried the standard Regus offices?
Nope, I know our Spaces is converted from one but I never worked in it before that or in any other Regus. Any idea how they compare?
We use Regus in NY and LA. 4 and 10 person offices, changing daily or weekly depending on where the sales team is meeting. Works great for us. Everything is clean and it's always quiet. Kitchens are well sized and stocked. We know the reception staff in each location and they do everything we ask.

WeWork was much more expensive and a much noisier and busy environment, especially if you don't get your own dedicated office space, and if you're going to do that then major cities all have tons of subleases which are much more attractive.
