The Regency was a delightful surprise. We were there with a tour group. Our room was very roomy, had a stove, refrig., micro, and best of all, a jacuzzi tub.

Traveling again to Fairbanks, I had the good fortune to stay at the Regency! Like other people, I was expecting the worst. Quite the contrary, I found the Regency to be quite a pleasant experience!

The lobby was tastefully decorated with Alaskan touches; historic photographs and rich colors. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Complimentary computers in the lobby offered easy access to e-mail and the internet. A lovely balcony off the third floor offered a relaxing area to read, have a cup of tea or coffee, or visit with friends. A couple of drawbacks: the jacuzzi tub had what appeared to be mildew growing around the edges (I informed the front desk before I checked out, so the next guest would not be offended), and the kitchenette area needed updating. I recommend that the room needs updating, but was thoroughly pleased with the amenities that were available. The dated cabinets and older appliances only added to the charm of the room (a TRULY Alaskan experience)... I believe that adding the gloss of laminate countertops and cheap cabinets would take away from the ambiance. Finally, the best part of the Regency: the BEDS! Fabulously comfortable, I had no problem falling asleep at this hotel! An A+ in my book, I will definitely stay there again!

Positives: Price, comfort, service, available internet, great balcony!

Negatives: Housekeeping needs to focus on details

Neutrals: Updating

I was on a business trip to Fairbanks and had another pleasant stay at the Regency. Stayed for two nights (stayed there for one week, approximately 4 years ago), 25 - 27 June, and felt very comfortable returning to "a known entity". Clean room on the first floor (requested the first floor) and a very comfortable bed. Front desk service was perfect - requested (and received) a late check-out (1:30 p.m.) so that I could return to my room at lunchtime and change clothes prior to driving to the airport to continue my business trip to Anchorage, Alaska. I plan on staying at the Regency whenever I have to return to Fairbanks.

I stayed here on a business trip and was expecting the worst when the other hotels I usually use were full. Much to my surprise, the room I had was very large with new carpet and the most comfortable bed I have slept on in Fairbanks. Free breakfast in the bar downstairs (no windows), and free Wi-Fi in my room. Secure access, full kitchen. My room also had a whirlpool bath and an air conditioner but I didn't use these amenities. I would definitely stay here again.
