Red Lion Hotel Redding, Redding

I love Red Lion and have been enjoying them for years..... however, recently I was there on a Thursday night for karaoke and it was the worst. The KJ was a blonde gal she needs to fifnd a new line of work. I am afraid you are losing buisness to Casino Club because of her Red Lion I have heard lots of complaints about her. Just sayin......

Horrible front desk staff, unavailable upper management for a serious problem. Until this stay it was a comfortable convient place to stay. Never again will I use a Red Lion, anywhere.

I stayed at the Red Lion recently for a week and am sad to say that I do not recommend this hotel. They need to lower their rates (or upgrade the rooms and amenities), include breakfast, and get at least one or two professional mature employees at the front desk. The hotel pricing was really expensive compared to the other hotels in the area and I met some people who used the ivisitredding website to find extremely affordable accommodations in the area, which I will use next time. I only booked here because I have a friend that used to work at the Red Lion in Portland and wanted to give it a try. Every experience I had with the front desk was impolite, rude, and most of them did not seem knowledgeable beyond the basic check-in. The staff only smiled when I gave compliments, and didn't even give full sentences when I had questions (one of them didn't know the answer to my question and then just walked away and ignored me). The housekeeping staff however, were really friendly and went out of their way to care for the guests. It's too bad they can't switch the entire front desk staff with housekeeping. The doors of the rooms are high off the ground so you can clearly hear everything in the hallway, which makes sleeping difficult when there are noisy people walking through or children running amok. The furniture and carpeting is a bit old, but relatively clean. The amenities are average (toiletries, towels, etc) compared to all the hotels I have been to (I used to be a flight attendant). And I spotted bugs in the bathroom throughout the week. The business center and gym are small, but the outdoor pool looked nice. One of the only pro's for the hotel is its breakfast buffet. It was pretty good and included eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, breakfast sandwiches/burritos, pancakes, cereal, yogurt, soy milk, coffee, Starbucks teas, juices, bagels, scones & danishes. For $5, they should just include it complimentary in the excessive room rates

The room was ok, clean etc, service was ok. I am not a breakfast person so didn't care that it wasn't include, but forthe price you would have thought that they could have included a cup of coffee. Since at best everything was ok, I would stay somewhere else for the price, just not a good value to me.

front desk personnel were not only rude but very unhelpful. our room was nice but the entry ways into the buildings were dirty. when asking about the hotel dining facilities and hours, we were never given a direct answer, consequently we ate all of our meals elsewhwere.

This hotel overcharges... we stayed in a Red Lion Inn in Klamath Falls, ORE for 2 nites and the price was less than this hotel for one nite. They charged $14.00 for occupancy tax here... wow! a ripoff plus pet fee for 2 little pups under 10 lbs. $20.00... Never again!!! Plus no continental breakfast. They told me the room itself was going to be $133.00 a nite and then came down to $112.00... no big deal. Should have gone to Best Western.

On the plus side, the Redding Red Lion Inn had well appointed rooms, nice design, quality furniture and fixtures, an attractive lobby though slightly dated and worn in places. Our disappointment and surprise was to be handed a 50 cent off coupon for a cup of coffee and something about a free dessert with the purchase of one. After spending a good amount of money for a room, it seems a small thing to offer guests complimentary coffee in the lobby. Otherwise, don't insult your clientele with an insulting 50 cent coupon. My husband and I travel for our work, spend 3 to 4 nights a week in hotels throughout Washington and California. Hotels with comparable 3 star ratings and even 2.5 star ratings for even less cost per stay, offer great complimentary breakfasts, coffee, newspaper, and internet. The evening before our stay in Red Lion, the hotel had this amazing spread: scrambled eggs made to order, ham, bacon, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, 3 cereal choices, oatmeal, biscuits and gravy, waffles, variety of breads, muffins, bagels, four jucies, milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate. In today's competitive market, Red Lion Hotels need to get "with the times" and on par with other fine hotels who outshine you in this area. Guests want to feel pampered and find a place they can call home way from home! BLR

Every year we stay here for Kool April Nights. The customer service is great! The rooms are clean, and it is in a great location! Walking distance to all the fun!

I stayed here since I am familiar with Red Lion properties. What a depressing experience. The rain may have contributed to that but the entire propery needs to be overhauled. The rooms are old and outdated and the halls are in complete disarray. The baseboards were missing or falling off all over the place. I won't be back.

We had stayed at the Red Lion in Redding California before and had a great room, it was roomy and we had all the emenities such as microwave, fridge, etc and the room was spotless. This last time we stayed, Nov. 19th,2005 the room was way overpriced for the size. It was very small, no microwave or fridge. The hotel doesn't serve dinner on Sundays, so we brought things to eat for later, such as fruit, yogurt, cold drinks, etc.... but had no place to store them to keep them cold. The room was dusty and when we opened the drapes, we had dust and cobwebs fall on our heads. There were cobwebs on the light fixtures and in some of the ceiling corners. Plus the drapes were quite dirty and heavily stained and clearly had cigerette burns in them and it was a non smoking room. We had a ground floor room and had wanted to leave the sliding glass door open for awhile., but there wasn't a screen. By the door were advertisements for different things such as food or room service items and slots for coupons to be placed. No coupons were there. We also had to find housekeeping since the room had no garbage can liners. The restuarant was great and the food as good as always, but the accommodations were clearly not what we paid for and needed improvement.
