Clarion Hotel & Suites

Regency Fairbanks Hotel is a value property, especially in terms of looks. Most guests look past the old-fashioned decor for the low rates and convenient amenities in the 128 rooms, like microwaves and mini-fridges or kitchenettes. There’s a good selection of amenities on offer like a free hot breakfast, small gym, and barbecue restaurant open for dinner. It takes 11 minutes on foot to reach downtown Fairbanks, plus there’s a free airport and railroad shuttle. Reports of bothersome noise through thin walls have been made. Those who prefer more modern decor might consider the Best Western Plus Pioneer Park Inn. 

Aqualina Inn Montauk

Aqualina Inn Montauk is a laid-back seasonal budget inn geared toward beachgoers. Situated between the beach and downtown Montauk, it’s only a few minutes’ walk from each. Highlights of the hotel include an outdoor pool surrounded by loungers and a central courtyard with picnic tables and grills. There’s few other property features — guests are on their own for breakfast, and check-in is at the sister hotel next door — but the inn does offer free loaner bikes and beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and sports items. The property’s 22 rooms have bright beachy decor with wood floors, rustic wood furnishings, flat-screen TVs with Netflix, and self-catering amenities like microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers; upgrades add whirlpool tubs or balconies. Travelers can compare rates with its sister hotel, The Ocean Resort Inn, or the beachfront Montauk Blue Hotel nearby. 

Clarion Hotel Airport & Conference Center

The Clarion Hotel Airport & Conference Center is a solid choice for travelers who need a comfortable and affordable place to rest while passing through the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The lower-middle-range property is a 15-minute drive or free 24/7 shuttle ride from the airport in a mostly commercial area. It shares an atrium-like lobby, outdoor pool, and meeting space with its sister property, the Ramada Plaza Charlotte Airport Hotel & Conference Center. Other amenities include a restaurant/bar, fitness center, guest laundry, and free parking and Wi-Fi. Rooms are clean and well equipped with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. But bathrooms are on the small side and rates don’t include breakfast. The Hampton Inn & Suites Charlotte – Airport is closer to the airport and includes breakfast, but rates are typically higher.
