Knights Inn is owned by the American hotel chain Red Lion Hotels Corporation, which is based in Denver, Colorado. In the past, all Knights Inn properties were built with exterior corridors and medieval-inspired architecture, but now the chain offers updated options for all of its properties.

Wyndham Worldwide announced in April 2018 that it was selling Knights Inn to Red Lion Hotels Corporation. As part of the ownership transition, the brand was removed from the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program as of May 2, 2018 and is now part of Red Lion’s Hello Rewards loyalty program.
