'''Shilo Inns''' is a mid-priced hotel chain operating 43 hotels predominantly on the west coast of the United States, with a large concentration of locations in the state of [[Oregon]]. It competes primarily with mid-range, family hotels such as [[Comfort Inn]] and [[Best Western]], and today is one of the largest independently owned and operated Hotel companies in the Western United States.<ref name="hotel-online.com">[http://www.hotel-online.com/News/PR2004_3rd/Jul04_Shilo.html]</ref> |

Hotels are frequently 2-3 stories and of a gray and blue color scheme, although there are exceptions.
