Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nice enough place for an overnight stay. We were there during the Redding CA fire (dark skies, little sun, warm, falling ash all about and fire personnel using Red Bluff facilities when they could get away from working day and night on the blaze). These conditions probably kept the pool from being used by anyone during our stay. Red Bluff is pretty small so most sleeping locations, including this one, are on the main boulevard. As others have indicated it is a quiet place and inexpensive (though this can be said for other facilities in Red Bluff). On the morning of our departure which was to occur prior to 11 am we got a call at 10:30 when we were showering. We hopped out thinking it was important. Figured it was management as no one we knew had the number. They were calling to make sure we were leaving (or to come pay if we were staying)! At best, this was odd. Never encountered this before. Not rude, but odd. We have never really been pushed out of a place before. Next time (as we drive the I-5 corridor periodically), we may just drive by.

The amenities in the room were great, hair dryer, refrigerator, microwave. Great bed and shower, big tv. The pool was small but clean and well looked after. Great service from the front desk. The only thing we had trouble with were the doors because they stick a little when you close them.

Reserved here because of the pool and my 11 year old grandson. Was only $64 a night, a little small but we only needed it for one night. Lots of rooms available, check in was a little slow but went OK.

We just stayed here for the night while passing through. About what you'd expect from a cheap hotel. The front clerk was very friendly and nice. The hotel itself is older and a bit rundown, but maintained. Our room had a microwave and a fridge which was handy. The rooms themselves are nice, plenty of room for clothes and storage; normal wear and tear. The bathroom does not have a tub, so for the itty bitty ones it's hard to bathe them. Breakfast is included, but only prepackaged pasties and coffee. The pool looked to be maintained, didn't use it; but was cleaned. The ice machine had bugs in the ice so didn't use it. The neighborhood is on the outskirts of the main town and seemed a bit rundown as well. Heard a train blowing it's horn for about 5 minutes around 10:30 pm and sirens seemed to be constant. Sunday morning had church bells ringing at 6:30 (not sure if it's a daily occurrence or a special event) so if you're a light sleeper be prepared for noise. In the next parking lot is a Grocery Outlet, Dollar Tree, Dominos Pizza, Baskin N Robbins and a few local restaurant style places.

Stayed here in March of 2017, understand it is new owners. Room was clean, few minor details overlooked. Only one other room had tenants, so very quiet. It was built in the early 70's from the looks, but well taken care of. Found coupon at one of rest stops for $39.95, well worth it. Breakfast consists of coffee and pastry, but at that price can stop somewhere else. If you just want a place to stay for lost cost, would suggest this. Was going to stop in Redding, found this place, good choice. Even had high speed Wi-Fi, no extra charge.

We made a nine-day road trip across the country, staying only at motels that cost $55 or less for a single room. This was the nicest such motel that we stayed in. It was clean and had many amenities that inexpensive motels don't usually have (fast wifi, pool, shampoo, king-sized beds...). It was nothing fancy, but we weren't looking for something fancy and, moreover, one ought not to expect something fancy at this price. We were very pleased.

I was told there was a $10 deposit, and that was fine. The clerk initialed next to it on the registration card, but then when we checked out in the morning, the word "deposit" had been crossed out, and the $10 was added to the total. When I explained what the clerk had told me the night before, the morning clerk explained that their hotel didn't TAKE deposits, and called me a liar. I had asked for a room with one King size bed, but was given a room that had two Queen size beds (which costs more). I figured it was because that was all that was available. When we checked out, I mentioned it to the morning clerk, and she accused me of trying to get a discount. There were other issues besides the conniving rudeness of the front desk staff: There was mud all around the bottom, inside the shower, so my daughter and I did not feel comfortable enough to bathe. Also, I literally slept on top of the bedding, because I did not trust the bedding, due to the fact that the room was so dirty. It was a very insulting experience. I didn't appreciate my daughter witnessing somebody calling me a liar. In fact, it made my daughter very mad. When you pay someone for a service, you don't expect to be called a liar, or to be tricked into paying more than the quoted rate. Obviously, it made me feel bad. Not the kind of feeling you want to have, when you are on a vacation, trying to have a family-bonding experience.

I have been road tripping the States staying in multiple hotels and this has been by far the worst! It looks like a prison cell block and whilst the rooms are old but clean, the Lady at reception (presumably the owner) is extremely rude. She charged me a $25 cash deposit which was not disclosed on booking and then made me wait to watch to check the room on leaving like I was a criminal. The grounds are in disrepair and someone tried to kick my door in at night. It made me feel really unsafe. Run from this place!

Small place owned by a couple working hard to overcome a bad reputation. The room was a typical dated 1970's ambience, tidy and VERY clean. The carpet old, but cleaned better than the expensive places I have stayed. Comfortable beds, hot shower, cool A/C. The shower was an older aluminum framed type with some corrosion; NOT to be confused with "dirty". The place was freshly painted, beds and towells excelent. There is a play area in the middle, a court yard. This is one of the cheapest places in town, and certainly can be considered a great bargin for the money. I highly recommend if you are not the type who must have all the latest and greatest. Oh, the morning coffee is terrible, hot water with a bit of coffee coloring. (I assume those who made it do not drink it)
