The rooms on the back overlooking the lake are nice because there are a lot of waterfowl to observe. The pool is small but warm enough for a swim. The hotel breakfast was extensive. The room is large and bathroom nice. I hate the newer Marriott mattresses as they are very soft and unsupportive for my spine and I have trouble sleeping well on them. There is a super-annoying blinking light on some device on the ceiling over the bed, which seems to have a motion detector as it blinks faster when you move around or get up in the dark. It may be attached to the a/c which I always turn off at night. There's also a bright-ish light on the remote control unit for the automatic blinds. Bring a sleep mask or throw a black t-shirt over your eyes to sleep here if you're sensitive to lights. The staff was very good.
This was expensive for what it is. I'm not sure what it is trying to be - crossed between a hotel and a motel, but not really either. Check in was painfully slow, just one lady on reception and they have a complicated system with their door codes where they use you're phone number but the lady has to do that then show you how it works, the lady ahead of me couldn't get hers to work so the receptionist had to them leave everyone in reception to go and let her in. The room was clean and tidy, I'd say it was a motel room at a hotel price. Not really in the best location for being near things, but that's not their fault. A pretty neutral experience really.
JJere FOur choice of places to stay was based on pet-friendly and decent accommodations, and Shilo Inn was that. Convenient to the highway and near a grocery store, which were two other of our considerations. The room was reasonably priced and quite large, with a king sized bed and a sitting area. When the people in the room above us arrived around midnight, it got noisy. Very noisy. The sound insulation didn’t seem adequate. Should you go there, be prepared to bring a plug in with USB outlets to charge your devices. Our stay was just one night and very pleasant other than the caveats above.
