Love the valets here, always helpful. The hotel is very convenient to all the great food on the east bank and it’s easy to get into downtown.

Nice quiet family run hotel. Centrally located with multiple food options and near freeway. Breakfast was a little underwhelming for me.

It was a good stay. Room is a little outdated but comfy. Bed was a bit uncomfortable, but nothing too bad. I would definitely stay again!

over all nice stay.
My son had a very comfortable stay at the Thunderbird Lodge. His only difficulty was that upon returning to the hotel at the end of a long day, there were no open parking spots in the lot so he had to circle around the area at night to find a place to park.

Located in the heart of the city
This is an excellent location for downtown walking and site seeing. The lobby staff were friendly, informative, and helpful. The room is a bit dated, but reconstruction was underway in the back half of the property. We’d stay again if in the area.

Good stop
After a long day on the road, a hot shower and comfortable bed were top priorities and we got them. We were able to charge our EV and the donuts and coffee next door started our next day of driving off perfectly.

I stay there every time I go through Redding. They remember me, make sure I have a downstairs room as I walk with a cane, and the facility is great.
