A/C fan was quite loud & was difficult to sleep with for my kids. Breakfast was completely picked over by the time we got there & no egg free options for food allergy kids so that was disappointing. Didn’t get to take advantage of the pool or surrounding areas. Room was clean & nice. Staff was super nice & kind.

Our room was perfectly clean, the bed and pillows were very comfortable and it was very quiet at night. During the day and early evening you can hear some sounds from the street but nothing disruptive. There is a very good 24 hour donut shop a short walk away that was too tempting to resist. We will definately stay at this hotel again.

The retro 1960’s motel is being completely upgraded with very clean, modern style. It is right in the middle of trendy section of Redding. Very walkable to restaurants, shops, events, and bike trails.
