The hot tub jets shoot straight up. There is nothing shooting into the hot tub itself. Its extremely loud due to this. Also the area around the hot tub does not drain, so there is always several inches of standing water you have to walk in.

They advertise that they had a restaurant but failed to advertise it closed Monday and Tuesday. The bedroom was not very clean and the restroom the same. I have stayed in many Red Lions before so this was very disappointing.

It was nice that every room had an accessible balcony, complete with a couple of chairs and a small table. But, despite the efforts to renovate the hotel, it is very worn. As with most places, some of the new staff were not very good.

Many years ago this used to be a premium property. Now it is aging and in need of a remodel. Be aware if you are planning a Friday or Saturday night stay that they now book a band into the restaurant. We attempted to have dinner there on a Friday night and first needed to pay a $5 per person cover charge (for a hotel guest to eat dinner?). But we did and were pointed to a group of booths in the back of the restaurant. All were dirty, so picked the cleanest one, sat down, and waited. No service so went to the bar to ask. The bartender indicated that she would send someone over. Returned to the table but no server ever showed, so just left. It is apparent that this has become Redding's party spot and the music was loud and most patrons extremely drunk. Some were staying in the hotel as we had a noisy bunch of drunks in the room across the hall. The buffet breakfast the next morning was bleak - a broken waffle maker, powdered eggs and surly staff. The room was dated and in poor repair. Blow dryer and coffee maker were both broken. Do yourself a favor and pass on this place, especially on the weekends.

Response from Red Lion Hotel Redding on Apr 2, 2024
Dear Douglass,We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your weekend here in Redding. We strongly encourage you to reach out to the restaurant itself, as they are a separate business inside of the hotel, and may want to address your concerns also. Our most sincere apologies are extended about the issues with your sleeping room. Your comments will be discussed with management. We hope you reconsider and stay with us again in the future.

The hot tub jets shoot straight up so they had to be turned off. The outside dining area had sand from the cigarette tubs all over all of the tables so we had to clean one before we could eat there, and there were no pool towels so we had to use the ones from the room leaving us with wet towels. They automatically charged us $8 each for breakfast but they dont have many choices to eat.

We booked the Red Lion because it said they had a bar and restaurant. And after a long day of travel, we wanted to watch the Super Bowl. Turns out someone had called in so neither was open. Room was not clean, especially the floors. Very disappointing. The only good thing about it was the breakfast. The area was VERY clean, food was good and the service was excellent.

The room was very clean and comfortable inside, but the hallways had a strange smell.
