Fodor's Expert Review Hope Inn Redding
19177 Hollow La., Redding, California, 96003, USA Fodor's Choice
Bordering Churn Creek on a bend in a residential street secluding the property from its neighbors, this two-turreted Tudor-style inn occupies 3½ woodsy acres several miles north of downtown and Sundial Bridge. The individually decorated contemporary-style guest rooms, some with furnishings from the aim-to-please owners two-plus decades in Africa, have hardwood floors, king beds, coffeemakers, refrigerators, sitting areas, and slate-tiled bathrooms. A nickel-plated double-slipper tub is the centerpiece of the grand, split-level bathroom in the splurge accommodation, the Royal Shasta, whose two bay windows have creek and mountain views. The owners invite guests to make use of the well-equipped communal kitchen and outdoor barbecue, the latter on a deck overlooking the creek.
