Hotels and motels in Oregon by the numbers

The Census Bureau counted 984 hotels and motels in Oregon in its 2023 County Business Patterns (NAICS 721110). They employed 21,496 people in mid-March and reported $722.6 million in annual payroll. That is the 21st highest count among the 51 states and DC with published figures. Hotels and motels make up 0.80% of the 122,451 business establishments in the state.

Per 100,000 residents (2024 estimate) Oregon has 23.0 hotels and motels, 40.1% above the national rate of 16.4. The average establishment has 21.8 employees against 26.8 nationally. Payroll per employee is $33,617, 14.6% below the U.S. figure of $39,374.

Oregon's largest markets for hotels and motels

Census published hotel counts for 20 metro or micropolitan areas that include part of Oregon. The largest is Portland, OR-WA, with 344 establishments (a multi-state area; its count covers every state it spans). Single-state metro and micropolitan areas account for 63% of the statewide total; the rest are outside any published area or in areas Census suppressed.

Team sizes at hotels and motels in Oregon

27.0% of Oregon's hotels and motels with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 30.9% nationally. 43.3% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.

Calls a hotel in Oregon has to catch

Independent hotels take reservations, guest requests and group inquiries by phone, and the front desk is staffed around the clock. Calls that go unanswered may become bookings elsewhere.

A few of the calls that come in to hotels and motels in Oregon:

• A guest calls the front desk for extra towels.
• A traveler calls to ask about availability this weekend.
• An event planner calls about a room block.

What hotels and motels text about

Phone system pricing for a 22-person hotel

Hotels and motels in Oregon average 21.8 employees, so the comparison uses a 22-person team. Per-seat business phone plans bill every one of those people. At month-to-month list prices checked September 28, 2026, 22 users on RingCentral RingEX Core cost $660.00 a month and 22 on Ooma Office Pro cost $548.90. Callata comes to $439.00 a month for 22 users ($99 a month with 5 users included, then $20 per additional user), below both.

Over a year, that is $2,652 less than RingCentral for a hotel in Oregon of that size. Annual contracts lower some competitors' prices, so compare the plan you would actually sign.

Area codes in Oregon

Oregon has 4 geographic area codes in service according to NANPA. Callata includes up to 3 local numbers, so a hotel can hold a number in more than one of them.

How Callata works for hotels and motels in Oregon

For $99 a month, Callata puts a team of up to 5 on one plan ($20 for each person after that): up to 3 local numbers, unlimited inbound calls, a pooled allowance of 1,500 outbound US and Canada minutes per user, browser and cell calling, voicemail transcription with urgency triage, recorded calls with AI summaries and business-hours routing, with E911 on every number.

Porting a number you already use in Oregon is free, and business texting is available once the carrier registration (10DLC) is approved; the registration carries a one-time $49 fee. Which specific numbers are open in a given area code depends on carrier inventory at the time you sign up.

AI agents are optional: an AI receptionist or scheduler can pick up when the team is busy or closed, take a message, send a text or email, or transfer the call. They draw on prepaid AI minutes ($0.25/minute), disclose that they are AI, and outbound AI calls require prior consent and are limited to 8am–9pm.
