The property offers relaxed suites and rooms featuring free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast, and free parking, catering to guests seeking practical amenities in a quiet setting.

The hotel’s atmosphere tends to be calm and low-key, partly due to weekly stay options that attract longer-term visitors.

it was only a 10 min drive to the field we went to. It is close to several fast food restaurants'. and very quite. even though it was cheaper than some others, does not mean it was bad. Several others that we know was telling us all the problems they were have with air conditioners, sounds, and even cops.....lol... Our room was very clean, even the bathroom, and even though they are remodeling we heard nothing. Now for the cons: we had no microwave in our room, the door would not close if you stepped out unless you pulled it shut. And even though the bed was very comfy, it was a little bit to high--I am 5'4 and hubby is 5'6 and we had to jump to get onto the bed. It had no guide in the room to say what channels they got, and no binder to say what was in the area , we had to go look. And I am assuming we had no cont. breakfast because of covid and remodeling. And our room was a non-smoking room. I would say even after all of this, yes we will stay there again.
I stayed at this hotel the second week of July 2015. I found the front desk staff to be very helpful and kind. We had two rooms and they were both very clean with nice amenities. We had a refrigerator and coffee maker in our room, which we did not expect! The room had nice furniture with 3 extra chairs. I'm not a continental breakfast person, but it was great for our kids! I was very satisfied with this property!
This hotel was soooo great. i love to stay here and Ronia Fadel we love you. we heard so many good thing about you and you didn’t yell at my husband. although, the towels weren’t that pleasing and there was some random person in our room with us
Idk much about what but yes I clapped it up sideways in that room. Like the exorcist. Good night. Gonna remember that one for sure. Shaking like Michael j fox.
Lady at the front was very rude, ended up leaving to go somewhere else. The situation was sort of an emergency and she was no help at all and turned us away. Will never go back there.
Stoped in at 2:30am and woke up the manager to get a room via the door buzzer he was very polite the room was clean and updated and the bed was very comfortable for the price I can not complain I would stay here again if I'm back in the area.
My fiance and I have stayed here many times over the years and have never had a problem. They seem strict to some people in regards to late night guests and deposits but it is one hotel that we have never had rude guests or police presence. They have weekly rooms available which I believe is what makes it so low key and quiet.. For us, that is why we always go there when we are in the area. We love Regency!
While it's very barebones on what is available, with almost no breakfast a shared microwave unless you get a more expensive room. however looking past that it was cheap, reliable, and the people behind the counter were always kind. those leaving reviews talking abt a $100 safety deposit clearly didn't read the website where it clearly states it. would recommend as a cheap option.
It was an okay place to stay for a late booking, and with very little choices where the event was. It was slightly dated, but some of the upgrades were nice touches. It was surprising that the building was an unsecured building.
The wife and I kinda took a little weekend away, this hotel did a fine job, no complaints of any kind, we had a blast and some peace and quiet, a much needed break from the stresses of life.
Off Highway 169, this straightforward, modern hotel lies 2.2 miles from downtown Anoka and 23 miles from downtown Minneapolis.
