Oxford Suites Redding

Oxford Suites Redding

10/10 Excellent
"2nd time here, We had a wonderful stay at Oxford Suites Redding! Melua at the front desk were friendly and welcoming, and check-in was quick and easy. We arrived around 9 PM and our room was very clean, fresh-smelling, and comfortable. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub until 10 PM and appreciated the complimentary wine. The next morning, we had a delicious hot breakfast with fresh bacon and potatoes, which was a great way to start the day. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations, from the cleanliness of the room to the thoughtful amenities and excellent service. It was a relaxing and enjoyable stay, and we would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Redding. We would happily stay here again!"

"The room was clean. The bed was a little firm for our taste. The rooms need a bit of updating. Looks like a leak in the bathroom. The floor was a bit mushy. It was close to Lake Shasta which we were going to the next day so that was convenient. The staff was friendly. We were able to park right by our room. It was close to eating establishments."
