Quality Inn Redding, Redding

This place is showing its age: Deadbolt lock missing, AC unit vent would not stay open, TV volume had a mind of its own, and on a 110* day, the soda machine was out of cold drinks! Those tiny bits of fluff on the bed were technically called pillows, but only a Chihuahua would rest his weary head comfortably. The evil garbage truck started throwing the dumpster around at 6:20 am, but I think that was the city's fault, not the hotel's. I found the lady at the front desk friendly and she seemed receptive about my comments the next morning. She even promised to call the city and complain about the garbage truck. As nice as the people were, they can't make up for the run-down feeling of the place. They keep it clean enough, but it's hard to make cracks in the grout and broken trim seem truly fresh. In short, if you're desperate for a place to sleep and need rest now no matter the cost, this is an "okay" hotel. If you have a little time to shop around for vacancies, there are some other chains in the area that offer clean, comfortable rooms at a better value than $80+tax per night. This Quality Inn is worth less than $50 per night in its current condition.

Very clean room, well stocked breakfast. After staying the first time, I checked out other price's and found Quality Inn (Redding) rate's to be normal for Redding accomidations.

The hotel was hard to find being situated behind other businesses. At least this blocked most of the noise of the nearby highway. That or no one was driving on that particular night. It was a cold wet storm, and the snow line was only a few miles away. I ask for a ground floor because I have bad knees, but the person behind the counter decides a climb up three flights of stairs outside in the wind and rain will do me some good. The stairs steep, and the catwalk outside to the rooms narrow. If you were to meat up with someone outside of the rooms, someone would have to double back and duck into their room in order to get by. My room had damaged fixtures inside, and I immediately went back down to discuses it with the person at the desk. For my reward I was moved down one floor. The room itself was average, but the alleged breakfast was non existent.

No hot water for showers. Called front desk, didn't really seemed concerned. The bathroom and towels could hav been cleaner. Did not sleep well due to the noise from above us.
