AmeriHost Inn is a small chain of hotels locate in the United States and Canada. The chain consists of two-or-three story interior corridor buildings constructed based on the company's prototype designs. This usually meant a long, 2- or 3-story building with a gabled or sloped lobby and public area at one end. All properties feature indoor pools and consistent amenities, such as a deluxe continental breakfast, comparable quality rooms, and friendly service. This consistency is the chain's main selling point. Founded in 1989 by (now) Arlington Hospitality, the franchise rights were sold to Cendant Corporation at the end of the 1990s. Arlington continues to build and develop AmeriHost Inns using the prototype they originally created for the chain. However Cendant has since handed out AmeriHost franchises to existing properties that do not conform to the original prototype standards. In 2006 Cendant (now Wyndham Worldwide) announced that all Amerihost Inns would be rebranded as Baymont Inns.
