The Best Western hotel in Red Bluff enjoys a peaceful, wooded location beside a branch of the Sacramento River, on the east side of town and one block from exit 649 of I-5 (Antelope Blvd; CA 36). The 67 rooms on 2 floors have views either across the river, or over the courtyard/parking area. The hotel has a sheltered outdoor pool at the rear, and two more unusual features in a tropical aviary and a pond of koi carp. Regular amenities include free continental breakfast, 24 hour front desk and high speed internet access. There are at least 5 restaurants within a few minute's walk.

Right opposite the Best Western is the Comfort Inn Red Bluff, a 3 storey, single block building with 67 rooms, situated in a quiet, residential district one mile east of the town center. One of the major attractions of north California, Lassen Volcanic National Park, is 50 miles east along the main road (CA 36). The hotel provides an outdoor pool/hot tub & fitness center, and serves free deluxe continental breakfast. Almost a dozen restaurants are a short walk away.
