Shilo Inn Suites Tillamook

The room was clean, and the guy at the front desk was really nice. That’s about it. For a hotel price, this felt like a cheap motel. There was no hot tub or breakfast, the door wouldn’t shut properly and its lock didn’t work, and we could hear everything outside. The TV was broken, a lamp seemed to have been taken without being replaced, and the building and hallways smelled awful, like intense teenage body odor. Don’t waste your money.

The lobby and rooms were clean, the parking area had plenty of lighting, and there was a well-lit grassy spot for walking dogs. Staff were friendly. The kitchenette had a fridge, sink, stove, and microwave. Best of all, there’s a convenience store right beside the lobby.

I asked specifically about housekeeping when we checked in and was told we’d get service during our stay. At the end of the day, our room hadn’t been touched. The front desk then said they only do housekeeping for stays of a week or longer. A gentleman on the property who brought us towels said we had to request them at check-in. It seems nobody knows the policy. Also, how are blackout curtains supposed to work when they cover the AC/heater? If you pull them up, they keep falling all night and block the unit. See attached photo. Poor experience overall.

I barely remember the last time I slept on a spring mattress, maybe back in the 90s. Every time I moved, my wife woke up, and it wasn’t comfortable. We stayed in room 111. The renovated interior had no strange smells, and even though we were near a hallway T-section and the vending machines, we heard no noise from other rooms. The AC was nice and cold. There were brown smudges near the bottom of the bathroom wall, which I think were dried glue from the plastic baseboard. Blue painter’s tape was still on the vent above.
