About
SHILO INNS was founded in 1974, and today, has
more than 40 convenient locations in ten western
states. Shilo Inns is considered the largest
private, independently owned and operated
hospitality company in the Western United States.
Mark S. Hemstreet, Founder and Owner of Shilo
Inns, learned a lot about the hospitality business
from his mother and father. He demonstrated his
entrepreneurial abilities at the age of 16 as
summer manager of a small motel. He cultivated an
early vision of developing the best independent
hotel/motel/resort chain in the Pacific Northwest.
The results of that experience, and dream,
culminated in his officially opening the first
Shilo Inn at age 24, in 1974. Mr. Hemstreet
contributes most of Shilo's success to the hard
work and dedication of Shilo Employees, that truly
enjoy pampering our guests with Shilo's special
brand of hospitality.
Shilo Inns has been consistently honored by Oregon
Business Magazine as one of Oregon's top 150
quality private companies. Shilo most recently
received the Patriotic Tribute Award, in
recognition for its support of America's Veterans,
at the sixth Annual "American Veteran Awards"
Banquet, in Beverly Hills, California.
Each Shilo Inn has been designed to offer quality
guest comfort at an affordable price. In-room
amenities include free high speed Internet access
in every room, first-run movies & entertainment,
hair dryers, clock radios, microwaves,
refrigerators, wet bars, coffee makers and ironing
units. Most Shilo Inns have pools, spas, steam and
sauna rooms. Fitness-oriented travelers enjoy
Shilo Inns' fully-equipped exercise rooms. Many of
the indoor recreation facilities are open 24 hours
a day.
Shilo's business travelers appreciate the
complimentary amenities, such as dual phone lines,
data ports, incoming fax service and free local
calls & 800 number access. Guests enjoy a
complimentary continental or full breakfast at
many Shilo Inns. And, Shilo offers a choice
between free major airline miles or Shilo's Star
Reward. Shilo offers free high speed Internet
access in all guest rooms and suites, as well as
through out the entire hotel, restaurant, meeting
and banquet facilities!
Continental cuisine and steaks, complemented by
fine wines, and efficient, friendly service are
the hallmark of Shilo Restaurants. Favorite local
dishes are offered, as well as daily specials and
elegant Sunday Brunches. Shilo Lounges also
feature unique "lite" menus and non-alcoholic
libations. Cigar Bars in Beaverton, Portland
Airport and Klamath Falls, Oregon, are popular
gathering spots for cigar aficionados and big-
screen sports fans. Shilo hotels contain
conference and meeting facilities staffed by
friendly, efficient professionals.
Shilo Inns' philosophy, commitment, and mission is
to provide the ultimate in genuine friendliness,
along with clean, comfortable rooms, and suites,
all at an affordable price. Shilo Inns friendly,
"attention to detail" oriented staff are dedicated
to living up to Shilo's motto of 'Affordable
Excellence'. More than 95 percent of all Shilo's
guests return, and refer other guests. That's the
"inside Shilo" success story.
