General Information

Nothing fancy about Hostess House, which is a comtemporary home in a mellow neighborhood, yet has been open since 1988. This tells you that hostess, Mill Laughlin, is doing something right.

"Hostess House is a clean, clutter-free, quiet, economy inn where guests are pampered, coddled, and well fed - gourmet style," says Milli. "Our place is not for the conspicuous consumer but for the lower-maintenance person who is looking for quality accommodations with a smile." As a result you can expect a friendly welcome, an inviting night's rest, and awaken to a scrumptious breakfast.

City-close and country-quiet. Private baths (one with handicap equipment)with many in-room amenities. Remote control basic cable TV/VCR/DVD and free wireless internet access. Smoke and perfume free. Off street parking. Close to I-5, I-204 and I-84. You'll enjoy the City of Roses viewing an incredible rose garden, hiking the nature trails, visiting historic sights and museums, touring wineries, golfing, or after a day of shopping relax on the spacious deck. You can sip a cup of tea while viewing a deep, terraced backyard before enjoying one of Portland's fine restaurants.
