The rooms were nice and quiet. I liked the television having DirectTv with plenty of channels, a Kurig coffee maker, mini fridge, and microwave. The room could use more plugs or a wireless lamp charger. The hallways have a noticeable musty old smell. I didn't like breakfast isn't free, and you have to pay $8.99 per person for a hot breakfast buffet. Overall the hotel feels out of date and needs to address the old smell in the hallways. read more

Look, we did not expect to stay in Redding until about 15 minutes before we booked this hotel. It was cheap, not the cheapest in town, but the cheapest of about 5 brand recognized hotels on this strip of Redding. And we had a dog, so dog friendly was a must. The lobby and front of this hotel looks like it was probably great...in 1989. Check in was fine, the young man behind the counter was polite and efficient. We parked close to our room on the side of the hotel and let ourselves into the back to find our room, and were immediately greeted with about 15 screaming wet kids in swimsuits running down the hallway at 9:30 p.m. Great. Luckily we didn't hear them again so maybe that was their last burst of energy. The hallway carpets were like being in a late 70's/early 80's time warp. Our room was meh. The curtains were old, the chairs were old- everything was old except the TV and bed. Surprisingly, the bed was moderately comfortable (didn't see that coming). Half of the outlets didn't work, and the nightstand was fixed about 1 foot too far away from the bed so you could barely reach it if laying in bed. The bathroom door still had an old round doorknob, so that tells you the last time the room was remodeled as those haven't been code compliant in a LOOOOONG time. The bathroom was moderately clean, but very reminiscent of a bathroom when you are hospitalized- beige, white and sandpaper toilet paper. We were literally only there to sleep, so I can't speak on anything else in the hotel. Would I stay there again? Nope. Does that place have potential? Absolutely, just needs a couple million dollar facelift. read more

Would be a minus if I could. Nightmare experience. Worst hotel stay EVER! Room not cleaned for 3 days. Beds hard as a rock - my hips hurt from sleeping on it. Last night key wouldn't work because girl who checked us in couldn't count. Locked out until I went to Lobby. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. Not enough room here to list all the problems that we were subjected to! Run don't walk the opposite way!!!!!! read more

Horrible and unsafe. Back door unlocked until after 10. No key card needed. Homeless coming in and out. Couldn't stay after all and couldn't get my money back since I went through a third party. read more

This is a difficult review to write and a difficult hotel experience to rate. It may be that you would rate it differently, so I am going to lay out what I liked and why it still only gets two stars. 1. Dog friendly. We were traveling with 2 dogs, the larger weighing 42 pounds. That exceeded the limits on some places, so we were glad to find a place available at the last minute that would accommodate our dogs. Just outside the sliding door of our room was a green space with dog clean up bags, so caring for that need was very convenient. 2. Food available late and also able to bring dogs. There was live music starting and dogs were not allowed in the bar and grill at that time but we were allowed to sit in the breakfast area and ordered food and drink from the full menu. The food was decent - not fabulous but tasty and the service was friendly. 3. A clean room with a comfy king size bed. The room amenities were also good - USB and plugs on one bedside table, a good sized shower, fridge, microwave, k-machine for coffee, tv and chair, desk and chair, patio and chairs. 3. Pool and hot tub. We didn't get a chance to use, since we checked in around 8 and were hungry and tired, but they looked inviting. 4. The building was interesting. It's older but is somehow charming, like a somewhat faded resort with lots a character. It was easy to navigate and I liked its ambiance. What I didn't like: 1. Loud music late into the night. At first, we thought that a few guests had a boombox on the lawn and called the front desk. It turned out that the bar had opened their doors and were blaring the music all the way across the lawn. We were several hundred feet away and it was loud in our room with the windows closed. Lots of folks were clearly having fun and likely have a very different opinion of it, but we wanted to sleep and that wasn't really an option until 11 or midnight. 2. The noise scared my dog and she trembled all night. We gave her anxiety medication and put her in her thunder coat but she had a hard night and so did I, since she stood on my face when she was upset. So, it gets 2 stars because the reason to visit a hotel is, first and foremost, to sleep and they made decisions that greatly interfered with my ability to sleep. If, however, you want to stay up late and party, this might be a good place for you. read more

Rooms are a good size, the bathroom exhaust fan didn't seem to work as there was no sound. The shower hot/cold markings are reversed, turn it to the blue dot for hot water. The hot tub has 5 broken jets or something that causes cold geysers to shoot up and splash everywhere. There are multiple cracks in the foundation with water spilling over. On the plus side the bar and grill has a nice flavorful burger and a pile of fries. They had a citrus beer that was good. read more

Red Lion Hotel Redding - Hot tub - Hotels Near Me - Redding, California

On our way to San Francisco, we needed a break and Redding was a good stop along the way. Now a lot of travelers have that idea and that might be the reason that every hotel chain has a motel or hotel of some sort here. There is a good variety from very cheap to high end'ish. Since we only wanted a few hours of sleep we could not enjoy a luxury resort and its amenities so we opted for a hotel in the mid-range level of prices and even there you can have luck or not. We decided on the red lion simplest based and price and ratings. And we have not been disappointed. This is an older hotel - which means everything was old-style in case of room setup and lobby. In the old days, everything was set up for a spacious welcome - in the lobby and the rooms. If a developer would take Over the Red Lion today he would at least put 20 more rooms even in the lobby alone! You mostly don't have that kind of nice space in new middle-priced hotels all is about using space as effectively as possible. So I really enjoyed the whole setup. And don't get me wrong when I say old style I don't say the rooms were old style and not taken care of. Quite the opposite: the rooms are well taken care of. And of course, you don't do a renovation in all rooms at once so there will be rooms that are not got a makeover. But we got a nice room and it had everything that you looking for a nice shower, fridge, even a key rig coffee maker! And it's big they don't call it a suite since it's only one big room but it was spacious. Really enjoyed that the bed was a bit wiggly but had comfy mattresses and pillows. And the bathroom even had one of the anti-fog modern mirrors. Great shampoo and body wash. Overall a great hotel to stop by. Our rate included breakfast and it's a typical all-American breakfast BUT they even offer a make-yourself waffle! Yummy. The breakfast included regular coffee but if you want something more fancy they have a whole Peet's coffee bar inside the breakfast room to buy all that you need in the morning. I'll have to say we had a really lucky pick this time and left well-rested and not hungry. We found our space to stay when going back and forth Of Course it's not a five-star hotel but it deserves a five-star rating since the rooms are big and have everything you need, are clean, the breakfast in the morning is up for a good start and the staff was friendly on the night shift for checking and the morning crew in the breakfast room! read more

Horrible. Staff are nice but the rooms are not great. We got into our first room and the there was an obnoxious loud hum that we called the front desk about. They gave us another room and the same loud hum and it smelled like an old ashtray so husband went down to the front desk they gave us another room it smelled a lot better but still had the humming noise sounds like a loud house fan but we were so exhausted we decided to just deal with it. The bathroom floor was dirty and seemed like it was never mopped. The microwave worked but the microwave plate doesn't fit so it skips and bumps around. Then there was weird knocking sound that seemed to start when it started raining outside. I honestly wanted to just leave and drive the 3 hours back home because of the noise. So not relaxing. Not the staffs fault so didn't want to keep complaining to them. I wish I never booked this hotel. read more

It's supposed to be a nonsmoking location (say the stickers everywhere) but in the entrance and our room it smelt of stale cigarettes. A living spider was crawling in the bed when I pulled the covers back. Saw another bug wandering the bathroom floor. Shower soaps were close to empty (thankfully I pack my own toiletries). It looks like an old DoubleTree but nothing was renovated- paint peeling, paint splatter on the back of room door, wood chipping and splitting on the furniture. If you need a quick place to crash, this'll get the job done but don't recommend more than that. read more

We stayed here for 3 days. We were in rm 423 which was recently remodeled. I wish I had thought to take pics but it was a very nice room. The staff at check in where phenomenal and it went super smoothly. This is where I point out that I travel life with a service dog. This hotel gets 4 paws way up. No access issues at all. This hotel is pet friendly and had lots of places to walk her. The room had laminate flooring, a nice huge king size bed, a comfy sitting chair and ottoman, desk chair and desk area. The refrigerator and microwave were tucked away but worked well. The bathroom was nicely accessible. My only caveats there are the water pressure, lack of a hook inside the shower for loufa and the lack of a low/night light option. There is a sliding glass door to access a small patio with chairs. We did not use the pool or hot tub so cannot comment on those. Breakfast was a little sad. The gravy was super thin, the biscuits super hard, the sauages were cold, the eggs were ok and the cheese omelet was meh. Thankfully the waffle maker saved the day. The second morning the biscuits and gravy was better, but the eggs and sausage was meh the person running things really didn't keep items refreshed. Again.. waffles are life lol. Parking was never an issue and all of our personal dealing with staff members was stellar. We would 100% stay here again read more

Housekeeping woke my whole family up by vacuuming the hallways at 10:30 at night. Unhinged behavior.

Worst hotel ever. Got here after a 6 hour drive from Portland and my room wasn't ready. Then I finally got my key card walked the long hallway to the room and the room wouldn't open because it was locked from the inside. Then walked all the way back to get a new room and walk all the way back to a different room. This hotel is a party hotel so if you are coming to sleep don't stay here. Party music and people in the hallway all night. Had to put my own music on to drown out the noise. The room is okay, not very clean or updated though. Then in the morning you need to pay for breakfast with a "coupon" from front desk even though it says free breakfast online. Got a horrible nights sleep and didn't even get to have my free breakfast. Walked out on the girl giving me attitude about the "free" breakfast buffet. The "buffet" was just a cereal dispenser, waffle maker, and coffee. read more

Have stayed at the Redding Red Lion many times while visiting family in the area. Our experience this weekend was unacceptable.Friday evening June 27 check-in took forever - we had a reservation, but the desk was understaffed and there was a line of 7 or 8 waiting to check in when some older woman came to the desk with complaints and both clerks busied themselves with her while everyone in line waited. once to our room we dropped our luggage and went to visit family, returning after 11 p.m. neither of our keys worked in the outside door at the back of the building, we went to the front and they had to redo our keys. once back in the room we discovered a large container of the previous guests leftover food sitting on the entertainment center, as we prepared for bed we found the faucet in the bathroom sink didn't work very well, it was late so went to bed, the bed seemed clean, but very hard. After getting up we note the sink faucet is not good for either hot or cold water, the shower has questionable water pressure and the floor of the shower is very slick, also there is only one bath towel. Husband has a golf date at 7:15 a.m. to play before the overwhelming heat of the day. He leaves I call the front desk to ask for more towels, note that there is someone else's food in our room and that we have a water pressure issue. The front desk clerk, Russell, is rather rude and asks if I had reported these issues last night. I told him we arrived back late and had not reported them. He agrees to let housekeeping know to come remove the food and bring towels and send an engineer about the water. The "engineer" came, he was very nice but brought nothing with him, no a tool, nothing. He checked the sink faucet agreed it wasn't right then said all the showers work like that, then I reminded him about the sink, he turned it back on, took the little filter out and the water ran free so he said it needed a new filter. He left and returned shortly with a new filter - your housekeepers should have noticed this problem when they were cleaning!! No-one ever came from housekeeping. I waited over an hour and then found a housekeeper in the hall and ask her for towels. She said she didn't get many that morning and had no bath towels on her cart, then it occurred to her to give me the ones she had just put in the room she was cleaning. No one ever came for the food. When we returned Saturday late afternoon to change for the evening neither of our keys would work in the outside door so we had to go back to the front desk where the clerk said they worked fine and she would have the "engineer" help us. I took him a while to meet us at the back door with our keys which he said he'd tried in another outside door and neither of them worked so he went back to the front and re did the keys. He made sure we could get in the outside doors and the room door. Once in the room the food was still there and our room had not been made up as I wasn't aware we needed to request what is normally done at a hotel! When we returned from the play later luckily one of our keys worked, but the other did not again!! When we left the hotel this morning the food was still in the room. I doubt that we will be returning as there are many other places in Redding to stay. read more

Good budget hotel, clean and convenient location, rooms had hard floors instead of carpet which was nice, felt cleaner. Beds comfortable. We really liked the downstairs rooms with sliding glass doors connecting to the back parking lot, so convenient for moving luggage in/out of the room. read more

I have recently stayed at the Red Lion in redding. I usually don't write reviews but the lady at front desk Christine I believe was so kind when finding out. My reason for being in Redding was my father was in the hospital. Help me get the best deal. And ask me how my dad was every day of my stay after. I appreciate her kindness very much .The rooms were nice and clean and the breakfast was good to. I recommend staying and will be anytime I am in Redding read more

Lion Through Your Teeth Been a few a years since my last update so might as well, Craig. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Good: *Got a very decent rate of $130/night on a last-minute booking. *Fast, friendly check-in *WiFi wasn't the fastest but very reliable. *±50" LG® 4k TV w/ AT&T® U-Verse *Rooms are very spacious *Porch/patio area outside 1st floor units. *24/7 Exercise room *In-room fridge, microwave and Keurig® coffee maker *Pool *Shower was hot and decent water pressure. *Three Shastas Bar & Grill (https://bit.ly/31a0g8L) inside the hotel. *Lots of other dining options within walking distance of the hotel. The Meh: *Live music at the bar. We could barely hear it and it did seem to stop before 8 p.m. but not sure if that's the norm. *Cold/Hot is reversed in the shower. Why the fuck can't hotels ever get this right?! *Bed wasn't awful but def not good. *Again with the half-pillows?! Wtf is going on here in Redding?? The Ugly: *Shower has def seen better days with a drain that's on the verge of collapsing and broken tiles. TLDR: My def go-to spot to stay here in Redding. Not the fanciest or the best but def reliable after all these years. read more

Don't get your hopes up for this 3-star hotel. Pluses: a cute balcony with chairs and a Keurig. Otherwise not so great. The cute balcony was filthy and we had to clean spider webs from the chairs. The staff was mostly super grumpy. The bathroom door had a loose hinge so we had to slam it to get it closed. The restaurant wasn't open during the posted hours and they wouldn't bill to our room. Sad. So much potential. This used to be the fancy place in Redding. read more

Hairs in bed dirty place housekeeping knocks before check out while im sick sleeping. Hate this place

Very nice room and breakfast was good and Vicky was very nice and a joy to talk with! definitely will be back!

DO NOT STAY HERE! BED BUGS!!! We took pictures and video, my friend had bites all over her. We contacted the front desk and they didn't know what to do. We had to ask them for trash bags for all our things. Took an hour for bags. They said we were being impatient. Their staff didn't seem to understand the urgency of this. Some of the housekeeping did! They didn't want to step foot in our room. We finally made it down to the front desk and the woman upfront said the owner needs to investigate himself the next day after we leave. He refused to talk to us. The woman upfront refused to contact the general manager because it was her day off. This is urgent, as a manager myself I get calls if it's urgent especially if it's on my day off. They said there's nothing we can do until Monday after it's investigated. They told us to call them back with our receipt. We should've been given full compensation for the room, at the very least. The owner should've been open to talking to us, not the housekeeping who said they can't do anything about it. We asked for the incident report and they looked at us like deer in headlights. They said there's no forms, we don't know.. so an incident report was not taken. They have the pictures I texted them. It's an incident. They could go in the room and examine and write up our incident but they didn't. No compensation for our room. Nothing. So we're scrambling around trying to figure out how to get our bags out without contaminating our friends' things who were traveling with us. We had to lift everything in bags and take it to a laundry mat. Seeing tons of families and kids and older people, it's horrible to think they are taking bed bugs to their homes. I wouldn't want anyone staying there with that. The owner himself would not take care of us, or speak to us. There was no manager on site. read more

Made a reservation with pool access 309+ dollars but ok i want what I want. Show up to them giving me an upstairs room with a view of the pool if you want to sit on the balcony covered in thick month old cobwebs. So after 2 hour drive use the restroom and the toilet doesn't flush look down at the shower and the old soap scum on the edge..front desk I don't know what to tell you but can send maintenance. Oh and a complimentary breakfast to be hosted by the rudest host ever. Most unpleasant visit when I am a return user. But never again! read more

Food made my family and I sick and needed to spit it out. $40 deposit never came back. No elevators even though we have a disability, our room was on the second floor and we drove from LA and needed a little break before going up to Portland. Staff was incredibly rude. Not only they gave us the wrong key card at the beginning, but had an attitude towards us because we needed to call them instead of walking all the way back down to grab one of the front desk people to have them open up our door. Will never come back to here as a place to rest. read more

I wood like to leave no stars. Over 225$ for a room and they are changing 10$ for the continual breakfast. Yes you can get a discount card from front desk. I was upset. Will never go there again. I promise this is true. Took 2 rooms to get a ok one. And I got the maintenance man using my bath room after I put ally belongings in the room, lights on when I had to go to front desk. Unexceptionable read more

Hotel is dog friendly with a nice designated grassy area for doggies to do their thing. Pet designated rooms have wood laminate flooring. Room was clean and bed and bedding was somewhat comfortable, mattresses needed to be rotated. Super large swimming pool and jacuzzi.

Quick trip, overnight. Found this hotel on Hotels.com in September when I was attending a wedding at nearby Palo Cedro. Easy to get to from I 5 and Highway 44. The young gentleman checking my friend and I in was so very friendly and down right cheery. Upon request, he found us two rooms near each other, since this building is quite large. A giant two story square with wings, courtyards, and many facilities. The room was very clean. Bed comfy. Bathroom spacious and well stocked with toiletries. We didn't have time to use the night club, which was very hopping at 10 pm. Nor the outdoor pool in the center courtyard. Or check out one of the ballrooms where a botanical event was being held. But we did use the cafe on Sunday morning for breakfast before returning home. The eggs benny was just ok, lukewarm and not the most memorable hollandaise. Service was a bit slow. And we were unable to use a credit card. There does seem to be an area or wing for those who stay with pets. The rooms face a courtyard to be used by dogs. Also huge kudos to the gentleman at the front desk that noticed by friend had left her jacket on the lobby couch. When we returned 6 hours later he had set it aside to return to her. It was her favorite jacket. Plenty of parking all around the building. read more

Unplanned visit due to terrible traffic on the five, so I was glad to get any hotel. Was anticipating a nice place, by looking at reviews on Booking. Check in was speedy. AAA discount. No elevators, so be careful if you need one. Hallways look dirty, in need of vacuuming. Bathroom floor dirty with dirt, hair and food spills. Shower hot and cold water are reversed. Do plumbers do this as revenge? Shower was recently renewed, new fixtures. Bed sheets appeared dirty, crumbs in bed. Luckily two beds and the other one seemed clean. The one time I didn't bring cleaning wipes. Nice big TV if you don't care where you're laying. Bathroom has an ancient cigarette smell. Disappointing hotel for the money. $165. read more

The rooms have been updated but they still show wear. Our first king room the AC was broken so we had to pack everything up to move to another room which was a pain after traveling for 8 hours. There were no offers of compensation for that fiasco. Both rooms were clean. The king size bed was comfortable. The refrigerator was leaking because of the freezer constantly defrosting which made everything wet inside .Our room had a small patio that faced the open grass area which is convenient if you are traveling with a dog. The pool looked nice but we didn't use it. The continental breakfast offers several hot entrees (eggs, sausage) and the usual breads, (toaster was broken) cereal, yogurt, waffle maker, coffee and juice which they replenished as needed. Dogs are allowed in the dining area if you sit on the perimeter. The cons -The hotel has increased their pet fee to $25/per night . If you ask about the pets perks the employees have no idea what you are talking about. They did scrounge around and found a pack of milk bones. The Sonesta website describes all these wonderful pet perks which are non existent here. I found this Red Lion offered 3 mini milk bones and a pole that had empty dog poop bags dispensers and no disposal container. I have once again shared my complaints with Sonesta who owns the Red Lion chain of hotels. I have just received their automated response. I suggest every dog owner register your complaints. If these hotels increase the pet premium charge then they need to fulfill their offering to us. read more

Red Lion Hotel Redding - This is the only pet perk they offer. Mini mill bones . - Hotels Near Me - Redding, California

How did this place get 2.5 stars? Shame on me - I've stayed there twice and it seems to be in a decline. There's plenty of parking because smart travelers know better than to stay here. The staff is friendly but they don't really put all that much effort into listening. I asked for a room anywhere but in the back of the hotel where the parking lot is wide open to car break-ins and catalytic converter thefts. They said that they would and guess where my room was! Right in the back. The room was clean but it is a long walk to the restaurant and bar which, of course was closed when we visited. I could tell if was "closed today" because of the semi-permanent sign posted on the door. The patio of the room we stayed in hadn't been cleaned off since some time during the Obama administration and the disposable drink cups on the ground on the patio were dutifully still there when we checked out. The Keurig coffee maker seemed like a nice touch, but there were three decaf k-cups there and one caffeinated k-cup waiting for service. However I noticed that the coffee maker was several feet away from a plug, so I moved it over and put the water and coffee pod in the machine, turned it on and waited for it to heat up. Its's probably still on, as it never heated up. So, guessing from the place in the room it sat, they know that it doesn't work but don't care enough to remove it or replace it. Who does that except a hotel on a steep decline? I've learned my lesson - The Red Lion is dead to me. read more

Checked in during the Memorial day weekend and was a disappointment. Got our rooms very quickly. We had seen several people not wearing mask and it wasn't an issue with the staff. The WiFi was password free but had so much trouble trying to connect and when finally connect had to reconnect several times. Staff only response was to contact their support line who never answered. After going to the room I tried using the phone to dial out to another room, didn't work. I called from the other room for a service request and the lady asked if I really needed it fix, wouldn't be calling if I didn't but they didn't fix it over the past 3 days. At night when we came back that's when I realized we got a kids room, the toilet and tub was at kids height with it being below my knees. The water for the showers was going half from the shower head and the other half into the tub directly. The AC and fan unit was so loud cannot sleep, with it off the temperature in Redding is unbearable in the summer. The coffee was so watered down I had to smell it to make sure it was coffee not tea. read more

The beds were comfy and the water was hot. There is no elevator and the building was under some renovations during our stay. Not a big deal, however, there was a gaping hole in the ceiling at the end of the hallway near our room on the second floor on the "Interstate Wing." Attic access for the construction? Drying out water damage? Who knows? The place also possessed a sort of funky smell, but 5 minutes in the room and it was hardly noticeable. The door separating the toilet and shower from the main room would not close: Shoddy craftsmanship. Still, worlds better than a GP medium tent anywhere in an austere region. AC worked great but a little noisy at night. Stayed 4 nights between 5/15 and 5/18 during some family business in the area, probably will seek accommodations elsewhere in the future. Breakfast was decent for $9 but go see Lee at the Peet's coffee bar in the AM. She does an outstanding latte and was the highlight of our stay! read more

How I wish I had found these reviews before our stay! The reviews on the site I booked through were good. Our room was dirty. The hallways were also dirty, with heavily stained carpeting. We spilled some water on our floor and when we wiped it up, the paper towel we used was BLACK. Every corner had buildup of dirty and grime, and the bathroom was the worst one. Our rollaway bed had just a blanket on the mattress, and the blanket had several hairs on it. The underside of that bed (because it's rolled in upright) had something gross splattered on it. The baseboard and wall in one area of the room also had something splashed on it. It was immediately noticeable, so I don't know how it could have been missed. We arrived around 6:30 after 12 hours on the road, and went down for dinner at the restaurant. It has a bar taking up much of the space, and there must have been a youth sports tournament in town because it was packed with families. Unfortunately most of the adults were congregating (loudly) around the bar. Lots of cursing, shouting, and taking shots. Unfortunately the food wasn't good at all. My husband's "pork chop" was around as thick as 10 pieces of paper. The kids didn't want their Mac and cheese, which for my kids is unheard of. On the way back to our room, I stopped by the front desk and mentioned our dirty room (I was hoping someone might be on site to come clean it), and they instead moved us across the hall. It was no better, but we had to just deal with it. There was black scum on the shower wall, a gross floor again, and a weird mess on the wall by the bed. I think our main concern was: if they aren't cleaning up this obvious stuff, what else isn't getting cleaned? The lights were basically hanging from the ceiling in the bathroom. The pool itself was nice, but again the area was filled with people drinking, shouting, pushing each other in the water almost landing on my toddler at one point. There were some women with a case of White Claw just sitting in the shallow end, drinking can after can while kids had to go in the deep end instead. I don't know if it's allowed or not, so this may not be the hotel's fault, but people were smoking on the restaurant patio which is part of the pool area. Overall it was just an awful stay to start our vacation, but thankfully it was just 12 hours before we hit the road again. Pros: The staff, especially our waitress, were very nice. Beds were comfy, and once in our room the hotel was very quiet, which surprised us since the bar had live music that was quite loud and our room patio doors and window faced that area. We were told they are planning a big remodel for next year, which hopefully will help, but we weren't bothered by how outdated it was, it was just a pure lack of cleaning. This was like a $100 hotel room, but we paid nearly double that, which is frustrating. read more

I wish I had read the other reviews before booking. We wont be staying there again. The bar has seen better days, needs remodeling badly. The pool was okay, The Spa did not have any Jets and the looked more like a water fountain than a spa. Human Feces was in the baby pool, Major health hazard. The "free" $8.99 breakfast was horrible and disgusting. Not enough towels in room, had to go find some. I give it a two star because of the location. This place needs major updating. read more

I was very pleased with my experience at the Red Lion Hotel in Redding CA I appreciate that they are dog friendly. The pool and hot tub were very nice, the room was clean and spacious. My favorite part was that they employ folx with different abilities to help!!

This hotel is a complete embarrassment after 4 pm the cleaning staff is already gone for the day. When we first checked into our room it wasn't even cleaned by the staff at all the bed and bathroom were a complete disgusting mess and there was cake all over everything even the TV. We get switched to another room and it's not much better for being an "upgrade" the bed was covered in 100's of some dirty lady's black hair and there was garbage all over the floor, the balcony you can't even go sit on because the 25 year old furniture out there is covered in bird shit that doesn't get cleaned off. For over $200 a night the staff should just quit and the owner should be in jail. read more

Hotel is really old it needs a lots of renovations. We came really late around 10 PM and got creepy room on first floor. Carpeting, old furniture, smell all this you will find there. Likely it was so dark and after 8 h road we just needed to sleep and check out early. We took package with breakfast I think I could eat it McDonalds better....I mean really basic things.Specially when you don`t eat bacon, bread or bagels there is nothing to eat for healthy person. We went to their disco bar/restaurant. It was Saturday night so people came to dance and they has life music. It was funny show for us since we are totally from different world. Kitchen was closed at 10-30 PM so we just took cocktail and beer. I dont think I will ever stay in this hotel or chain either. read more

It's a Red Lion.....need I say more? Nothing fancy and no elevators to haul you stuff to second floor. Has been renovated but still looks like lipstick on a pig. Pool area available and open. This is nice. Not much close by to eat. Maybe a decent Mexican restaurant. read more

Red Lion Hotel Redding - Hotels Near Me - Redding, California

There were bed bugs in my room. I stayed in room 353 facing I5. I checked the room when I checked in but then left and came back and it didn't occur to me to check again. That's when I found it. When i killed them there was blood in it. So I may have been bitten or it was from the last person it bit. The front desk didn't seem too concerned with the bugs but did try to get me a refund. Ultimately I got it through Expedia. I warned others that were checking in and some of them also found bugs. read more
