Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Redding sits at the value end of the Marriott family but offers many of the comforts travellers look for: modern rooms, a free hot breakfast, a pool, a fitness room and free parking. It is aimed at travellers on a road trip who want a good night's sleep and an early start, and it tends to deliver both. The hotel is in Redding, within easy reach of Interstate 5 and the city's restaurants, and a short drive from the main sights. Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here, which is a bonus for regular Marriott guests. Rooms generally include a work desk, a refrigerator and a microwave, with suites available for families, and the staff is usually helpful with local advice. As always, check the property page for current amenities, breakfast hours and policies.
The Fairfield brand is designed around simplicity. There is no elaborate lobby or grand restaurant, but the basics are well done: clean rooms, comfortable beds, a decent breakfast and quiet hallways. For travellers who spend their days outdoors, this is often all that is needed. The pool offers relief from the valley's summer heat, and the location near the highway cuts down on driving time.
A sample itinerary
After breakfast, drive to Lassen or Burney Falls, spend the day exploring, and return for a swim. Another day could begin with a morning at Turtle Bay and the Sundial Bridge, followed by a lunch downtown and an afternoon at Whiskeytown Lake. The hotel's position makes both easy. Because Redding is a hub for the wider region, you can also use it as a base for Mount Shasta and the Trinity River.
Practical advice
Book early for summer and for major local events, and consider midweek stays for lower rates. Ask about early check-in or late check-out if your plans require it. If you want a view of the river or a spa, look at other hotels in this guide, but for a clean, comfortable and economical stay with a trusted name, the Fairfield Inn and Suites is a good fit.
It is especially well suited to families who need a free breakfast and a pool, and to travellers who plan to be out from morning to evening.
If you are travelling in a group, ask about adjoining rooms and make sure everyone knows the breakfast hours before an early start. Midweek rates are often the cheapest, and the staff can usually suggest local restaurants within a short drive for evenings when you do not want to cook.
