Oxford Suites Redding works well if you’re spending a night in the area before heading out to explore Whiskeytown, Shasta Lake, or the Sundial Bridge. The 141 suites here are genuinely spacious—you’re not cramped into a small room—and that extra space matters when you’ve got a dog who needs room to stretch out after a day of hiking.

The hotel includes a complimentary hot breakfast each morning, which is convenient if you’re trying to get an early start on trails. There’s also an evening reception with drinks and appetizers, so you can grab something without leaving the property. The outdoor pool and spa are nice if you want to relax after a long day, and there’s a fitness center if you’re into that.

Dogs get their own suites designated as pet-friendly, so you’re not worrying about your dog in a regular room. The staff knows dogs will be there and the rooms are set up accordingly. There’s an outdoor pool area and a lounge where you can hang out if the weather isn’t cooperating for outdoor activities.

Location-wise, Redding sits in the upper Sacramento Valley, and this hotel puts you close to some solid day-trip options. Whiskeytown Lake has trails and water access, and the Sundial Bridge in downtown Redding is a short drive away. Shasta Lake is also nearby if you want a longer adventure. The hotel’s central location means you’re not spending a ton of time driving between your room and wherever you’re planning to explore with your dog.

It’s a solid overnight option if you’re passing through Northern California or using it as a base for a weekend of regional exploration. Call ahead about their specific pet policies, as fees and any size restrictions can vary.
