Knights Inn has 350 hotels nationwide in the economy segment, with an additional 47 in development.

"The acquisition of Knights Inn enhances RLH Corporation’s position as one of the 10 largest hotel franchisors in the world," said Greg Mount, RLH Corporation president and CEO.

Knights Inn hotels will be integrated into Red Lion’s Hello Rewards guest loyalty program, Mount said.
