How Membership Supports Your Inn

Marketing
Our website offers multiple pathways for guests to discover your inn and book directly. We drive visibility through strong organic search performance, blog content shared across social channels, and select statewide print materials.

Networking
Members connect through regional meetings, private online forums, and shared peer support. It’s a collegial community of innkeepers who understand the realities of independent hospitality and are generous with insight and experience.

Advocacy
As Oregon’s statewide association for independent inns, we advocate for members with Travel Oregon, the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association (ORLA), the Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism, and national hospitality organizations.

Education
We host an annual conference and ongoing learning opportunities focused on practical, evolving topics — from technology and marketing to operations and guest experience. 

Membership Standards & Quality Assurance
The Oregon Association of Independent Inns is committed to assuring travelers of consistently high standards across a variety of independent accommodations.

Membership requirements are designed to support guest safety, comfort, and professional business practices. Standards focus on appropriate insurance, licensing, and legal compliance. Inspections are practical and supportive, not punitive, and many innkeepers describe them as a valuable learning experience.

Requirements do not include unnecessary commercial standards. They focus on reasonable, achievable best practices that benefit both guests and innkeepers.

Membership Costs & Current Incentive
Standard membership includes a one-time $100 application fee, a one-time $100 inspection fee, and annual dues of $219 plus $40 per room (up to seven rooms). There are no additional room fees beyond seven rooms. Annual dues are prorated to the month membership is completed.

Through April 30, 2026, qualifying inns may join with application and inspection fees waived (a $200 value). Winter inspections also offer greater scheduling flexibility during this period.

Is Membership a Fit?
If you operate an independently owned inn in Oregon and value professionalism, quality hospitality, and connection with peers, membership may be a good fit — whether you are newly established or long-standing.

We encourage thoughtful exploration and welcome questions about requirements, inspections, or benefits.
