Shilo Inn Medford

We were only there for one night. We were in town for a specific restaurant and so we just needs a clean place to stay for the night. The price we got on line was about $ 94. The room was clean, the hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. My only issue is the hotel is in desperate need of a make over. It’s very 70’s/80’s. The hotel is not exactly inviting from the outside but I was OK with that but let’s freshen it up a little.

So I have stayed in hundreds of hotels and this is one of the top 5 worst. Lets start with the age. It is old and outdated. Carpets are old as is the heating unit in the side of the wall. The bathroom was at least clean. Lets talk about the people across the hall. It appears as they maybe long time guest. Lots of traffic in and out of the room like the door opens every five minutes. There is a cracked out women and two men staying in the room. She is coughing and hacking like she been up for a week smoking crack and sucking D***. Walls are paper then so you here everything. Sometimes guys go in and buy what ever they are buying and some times they are in there longer and the bed is squeaking. If I were you I would go somewheres else just like me next time.

It didn’t look too great upon arrival but this hotel definitely exceeded my expectations. The beds were comfy the front desk person was friendly and attentive. There’s was a good size fridge, a flat screen tv, a microwave, free wifi with no password and pretty decent selection for breakfast including waffles bagels and cereal. Maybe I’m just not picky but I’v stayed at many hotels that have had none of these things… not too shabby at all… I would definitely stay here again

$ 84/​night through
This hotel is stuck in the 80s. Décor desperately needs an upgrade. Forget flat screen TVs in the breakfast room.
Carpets are dirty. Pillows are lumpy.
Check in and check out: not cheerful. Service without a smile. Think they forgot this is the hospitality industry.
Complimentary breakfast: make your own waffles, coffee from Seattle Best Coffee, microwave egg burritos, bagels, cereal, boiled egg, yogurt, Tropicana orange and apple juices.
I didn’t feel like this is home away from home. Employees obviously don’t like working there.
Pet friendly equates to $ 15 extra,

My reservations as called in, and was entered for the wrong dates so when we checked in they didn’t have us down. The receptionist was new so she called her manager, who was very rude and said it wasn’t their fault– we didn’t have a room and had to pay the cancellation fee. When I said I was going to leave and was going to complain, as well as have the guest behind me as a witness, she backed off waived the fee and got us a room with the advertised rate for the Siskiyou bowling tournament. The new girl was very nice, apologizing for the mixup etc. the rooms were average, a little dated but ok. My friend’s room didn’t get cleaned that day– will be looking at other places next year!

Stayed at this hotel on a business trip. Booked three rooms fro two weeks at this hotel. Will not stay at a Shilo Inn again. The highlight of the stay was Cheyenne at the front desk, she was pleasant and very helpful. The rest of the ordeal was not so good. My room was cleaned but my apprentice’s room which adjoined mine was not! The door was open between the two rooms and my garbage would be empty but his would not be. His TV didn’t have half of the channels that mine did, his remote failed and Cheyenne attempted to remedy the situation with a new remote but the problem was unable to be fixed. His telephone didn’t work. The other room did not get cleaned either. The vending machine stole a dollar from my man. And housekeeping hung a bloody towel back up that my apprentice had used to stop the bleeding from his elbow. Breakfast was ok, the coffee wasn’t to bad. But, for the amount of money that I spent at that hotel… Our rooms should have been spotless every day!!!

Stayed here thanksgiving night 2012. Room and bathroom were filthy – stained «bedding», hair everywhere, and there was a cockroach in the bathroom. Notified health department of this place and of course things were spotless when they showed up. Service was terrible, no questions or concerns when we cut our 2 night stay short, just a «sorry.» They did refund the full amount paid, however. Wouldn’t ever stay here again.

Not great. Old, smelly, but mostly clean. Still not impressed. For $ 10 more I will stay at Super 8 next time.

The rooms seem to be old (they still use CRT television) but kept clean. The price is cheap. Close to the 5 freeway. The front desk is also firendly.

Not impressed with this particular Shilo. It seemed like the room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned; i first noticed it when i went to use the bathroom when we first got in the room. There was hair on the floor and toilet paper in the toilet. Later, my friend who was with me pulled back the comforter and sheets to go to sleep and we found hair in the bed. We ended up going to the front desk and getting fresh blankets to just throw on top of the bed to sleep on.
Also there is no pool or hottub, only a tiny sauna.
It is however right off the freeway and close to food which is nice. Thats about the only upside though.

Old place but nice staff, clean new upholstered furniture and drapes. Spa was out when we came through. Continental breakfast was just right. Seatless best coffee. Mattresses could use an upgrade

One of the worst motels we have ever stayed in. The hotel is advertised as smoke free although the room smelled horribly of cigarette smoke. One of the pillow cases had a blood stain on it and there were candy wrappers behind the nightstand. We asked for another room and when we checked the second room it was equally as bad. Never again. I literally have been in motels in third world countries that were better maintained.

This place was OK. We came here in hopes of getting a better deal than in Ashland, but after researching the prices weren’t actually that much better.
If you are looking for a place that is CLEAN, then this is just fine. Carpets looked like they were new, all the furniture was fairly clean, the bed was spot and hair free.
Other amenities that are helpful include a good working AC, nice smelling soaps, fridge/​freezer, microwave, and ironing board.
However, I have a few complaints about this place:
1. Though everything was relatively clean, they missed a few spots. Underneath the bed it looked like there were scraps of paper and things that hadn’t been vacuumed. There was a toy left on the TV unit. The desk and chair were dusty.
2. I have no idea how close the smoking rooms are to the non-​smoking, but it seemed that the smoking room was right next to ours. The smell of smoke wafted into our room early in the morning and it was disgusting. When we stepped out the smell of smoke drifted across the entire floor.
3. Customer service is so-​so. The woman who checked us in was very nice, letting us even choose the floor of our room and letting my husband see the rooms in advance to check for quality, so that was helpful. But the next day, breakfast ended at 10am (which I didn’t know – not saying it was their fault, I probably wasn’t listening closely), and they did’t care. I walked in, clearly pregnant, with my 2 year old asking about breakfast. A different person working there said simply that breakfast was over. That was it. No apology, no «let me see if I can get you a banana something» since it’s clear I have a hungry toddler with me and am growing another child, or even «Sorry, but there is breakfast nearby at ****», just a firm and emotionless response. Not a good way to treat your customers.
Overall, if you need a clean place this is fine. But as for value, I’d say look elsewhere.

Wonderfully helpful staff! Jeanine was incredibly understanding of a stressful weekend and made our stay quite comfortable.

We stopped in on our way north, it’s located in a good spot from the freeway and is near a few different restaurants. The price is quite good and they have Veteran discounts.
The room was a decent size, 2 queen beds, a good size fridge, microwave, a desk, a table, and a video game controller connected to the tv. The bathroom is a decent size.
They have free wifi, my phone connected immediately, but the laptop had a few issues, but finally connected. Overall it’s a decent hotel, a little dated, but clean.
For the price, I was expecting it to be skivvy, but it’s actually pretty nice.
Breakfast is included the next day!

I would give this place four stars except that the walls too thin and the plumbing really loud. My wife didn’t get much sleep due to the all-​night love-​making activities of our next-​door neighbors in this motel.
The door locks are old-​fashioned and could easily be compromised by criminals, so that gave me pause.
The room itself was well appointed and comfortable.
The refrigerator cycles on and off continuously making a loud click when starting, and then vibrating to a stop after a few minutes. This is not uncommon in motels, so I usually just turn it off for the night. Couldn’t do that at Shilo because the knob was missing! Had to reach around to the back with a flashlight and unplug from the wall, which wasn’t easy to do because of the heavy furniture.
I thought the breakfast was good and the staff super-​nice.
For the money, one can do better.

Was not expecting much, this was a stop at 2am on a road trip. It was clean, the bed wasnt bad and it was right off the freeway. They even still use real keys. Not sure how safe that is but it was only for one night. Also got 10% with a Unilocal check in.
Oh and there was a breakfast which was perfect for the start to another 8 hour day of driving. Had healthy options and plenty of stuff to pick from.

The rooms are nice, they have continental breakfast and the staff are great. I stayed the weekend here with my family and we left medford. My husband left some of our stuff there and it was very valuable and we went back a month later and it was still there and returned to us, I think that was truly amazing very honest staff. Thank You House Keeping you are awesome!

The room was somewhat taken over by the huge bed, but it had everything I wanted (besides a nice view, but really that’s always just a nice bonus) and it was warm.
The television was modern and the mini fridge was useful for dinner leftovers. The microwave amused me because it had a rotary-​phone type timer. It worked fine for heating up the pizza slices the next day, so no complaints!
The shower was good. I think the shampoo here was a shampoo/​conditioner combination, but that worked out fine. Plenty of towels and I liked the additional sink next to the bathroom.
I sadly didn’t get a chance to check out the hot tub, the sauna, or the steam room but I’m glad they have them.
They have free wi-​fi, a convenient location, and are definitely on the «affordable» list (with or without Priceline).
They do have a continental breakfast in the morning, but I think that ends around 10am and check-​out is at noon, so I accidentally missed out on that.
I’m glad I randomly booked a room at the Shilo Inn Medford!

After driving for 13 hours from Tonopah, Nevada I was more than ready to find a place to crash once reaching Medford. I had a good experience with a Shilo Inn in Eugene years before so I decided to stay here and it was a great choice.
First off, the checkin manager was super friendly and got me a room on the ground floor to minimize any hauling. This was roughly 2am and I just wanted to sleep. The rooms are average size for the $ 80 rate. The bed was huge, probably king size. So comfortable in fact I slept in one hour later than I intended to wake up. The free breakfast spread was a lot better than I’ve found at other inexpensive travel motels. They even had a waffle machine which I managed to execute only after the guy at the desk told me to flip it once the insanely loud beeping ensued.
All in all a great, short stay at the Shilo Inn. It’s conveniently located to I-​5 for when you need to get back on the road. If you’re passing through Medford I’d definitely advise anyone to stay here and not the other places you see in the area.
