The Sheraton Redding Hotel sits right at the Sundial Bridge, giving you immediate access to the Sacramento River Trail—perfect for morning walks before heading to breakfast. The 130 rooms are straightforward and comfortable, with modern amenities and many offering views of the surrounding area within the 300-acre Turtle Bay Exploration Park.

The hotel welcomes up to two dogs per room with a combined weight limit of 80 pounds for a non-refundable fee. Your dog gets pet beds, food and water bowls, and treats in the room. If you’re planning to eat at Mosaic, the on-site restaurant, there’s a special pet menu available for dogs dining on the patio, which is a nice touch when you don’t want to leave your dog behind or crate them during meals.

Beyond the room itself, you have access to a heated outdoor pool and 24-hour fitness center. The location is genuinely convenient for exploring this part of Redding—the Turtle Bay Museum, McConnell Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, and Redding Civic Auditorium are all within walking distance. The Sacramento River Trail itself is excellent for dog walks, with plenty of shade and river views.

During summer, the hotel sometimes hosts events like “yappy hour” for dogs, so it’s worth calling ahead to see what’s scheduled during your stay. If you’re interested in more serious outdoor adventures, Whiskeytown Lake and Shasta Lake are both short drives away, with numerous hiking and water access points.

The hotel handles conferences and events regularly, so the atmosphere can vary depending on what’s happening during your visit. If you’re just passing through Redding with your dog and want a solid hotel base with river trail access right outside, this works well. Just confirm the current pet fee and any event details directly with the hotel before booking.
