Great place to stay.

We decided at last minute to come to town for the weekend and found the Hoosier inn to have rooms available still at a great price. We arrived about 30 mins before check in and they were very nice. We got into our room early and it was clean and nice. We will be staying there every time we come to town.

Normally I stay away from places with Inn in the name but after seeing many good reviews and having no other options in Portland, we decided to give Hossier Inn a try. The owners were incredibly sweet and the room was nice. Our room was a good size and clean. The bed was even comfortable. Perfect for a one night stay!

What I liked about this hotel is. The office staff was very friendly and also it is one of the only hotels that we have stayed in over the past years that actually comes in an remakes your bed and puts clean towels in your room when your gone. That’s customer service

Very clean and fresh, just somewhat "dated". Probably best described as deferred maintenance.
