The Scottish Inns name has provided travelers with a clean and consistent economy, limited service lodging option that they can identify with and "A Good Nights Sleep" since 1967. Scottish Inns typically average 42 rooms.

Many Passport Inns are smaller properties averaging 35 rooms and located in resort locations. These hotels are typically limited service facilities with budget or economy-level room rates as dictated by the local market. Passport Inns are the perfect business solution to some of the larger, unfeasible franchise fee structures.
