I stayed at this hotel on 3/4/08. I was previously staying at the Springhill Suites across town but could not book this particular night. I had my doubts when I first pulled up, the hotel is constructed of decorative concret block but the lobby was alluring as you walk in stuffed animals including full size bear old photographs throughout a very nice lobby and seating area. My room was a double bed room with galley kitchen. The kitchen communicates with the bedrooms and it is essentially all 1 large room. Although not the latest furnishings and carpet in my room it was not bad. Linenes were clean. Curtains drab reminiscent of a time long ago but clean. Large electric range with oven and economy grade teflon coated pans. No sharp knives, no salt or pepper, plastic cups (except coffee cups) china was real. Very cheap phone with 2 buttons, redial and flash. Jacuzzi in bathroom worked but appeared old as did bathroom furnishings. The price for march approx $82. The hallways reminded me of the hotel in the film the shining bright red patterns of carpet, oak trim, multipe mirrors on walls and the halls were clean. A view of the local Moose club to rear provided late nite entertainment. Im not knocking the hotel overall for the money I would say its not bad and rooms are large. Housekeeping could be better, partially eaten cookie in my bed frame, childrens toy car under my bed.

This property is sure gettting a facelift. I have been staying here a long time guest and frequent Fairbanks often. The lobby was remodeled this last summer. The rooms have recieved new furniture, minus the kitchettes. Hopefully those are next.

The hotel has always been helpful and flexible with my changing needs. I have to often extend or cancel my reservation because of work and they alwasy help me out. Thanks!!

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
