Top Portage Hotel Reviews

Spring House Inn

Spring House Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Room was a good size, bed was comfortable and nice older furniture, gave it a homey vibe. Enjoyed the woodsy surroundings. Super close to the Indiana Dunes State Park. Hot breakfast with a good selection was included. Great room rate. Enjoyed the whole experience. Kind of difficult to find, as the gps was routing us to a route that was closed due to bridge repair. Has a pool and hot tub, but we did not use it."
