What makes this place special is Dennis, his hospitality is beyond any Marriott or Westin can offer. On top of this you get to stay in a cozy, Hallmark mansion for couple days, if you are looking for a nice bed and breakfast definitely book this place; worth every penny!

Although it is a century-plus in age, the inn looked great. The innkeeper (Dennis) was friendly, knowledgeable of the area, and attentive during check-in, breakfast, and check-out. Just ten minutes from hiking, shopping, and eating/drinking...will return again!

Dennis is a very gracious host and personalized our experience with some great conversation over our breakfast. The inside of the mansion is impeccably decorated for Christmas and has a very warm feeling when you enter the main entrance. The room was very comfortable and has a great view of Centre Park. A very warm and welcoming place to stay. Highly recommended.

The owner, Dennis, could not have been a better “host”. It was evident that when you love what you do, it’s not work. The Inn was superb in so many ways; beautiful architecture, details to rave about, charming, picturesque, historic beauty, fabulous breakfast, all with so many personal touches.

This bed and breakfast is in a truly amazing historic mansion that has been kept in its original, beautiful condition. We just marveled at the original woodwork and decorated ceilings, etc. Dennis was a wonderful and helpful host and our breakfasts were delicious. We’d love to return and enjoy the property in a different season.

Our stay at the Inn at Centre Park was wonderful! We were in town for one night for a show at the Santander Arena and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The home is beautiful with spacious rooms, high ceilings, original woodwork and molding, and other warm and inviting details. Super comfortable bed and pillows and excellent shower! Dennis is a remarkable host who made us feel right at home. And what's not to love about a made to order breakfast and the most delicious cantaloupe ever tasted? We hope to return some day.

Great BnB experience

If you have to stay in Reading, PA, this is the place to stay. The whole establishment is gorgeous and kept in such great shape. It’s like being transported to the past. The manager was kind and friendly and very helpful with recommendations. Breakfast was delightful (hopefully you get to try to omelette and the potatoes). The town itself is very quiet and shuts down early so expect to get plenty of sleep in the extra comfy beds there.

Old world charm

On the advice of written reviews. I was in town for a concert at Santander. Opted for the inn instead of the larger hotel. Best decision I could have made! The inn was gorgeous, relaxing with so much character and charm. Everything was thought of from complimentary water, soda, tea, coffee and impeccable accommodations. Dennis the innkeeper was such a gracious host and very knowledgeable on the area. The complimentary breakfast was delicious! Can’t wait to come back to visit.

A Wonderful Stay at The Inn at Centre Park!

Dennis, the innkeeper, was friendly, helpful, and provided great conversation! He helped us with our luggage upon arrival, told us about the history of the house, gave us restaurant suggestions, wished us a pleasant day as we left the property, and was quick to welcome us back and inquire how our day went upon our return. We even had some conversation about gardening! He made us feel welcome and completely at ease during our stay. Our room, Sarah's Suite, was BEAUTIFUL. It is full of character and charm with a peaceful balcony, which we used for coffee in the morning and reading and a drink before sunset. The front porch is also very inviting. Complementary soft drinks are available outside the rooms, while Kuerig coffee, tea, and hot cocoa options are available inside the room. The breakfast is excellent! He says his waffles are world famous, and we agree. The meal begins with fresh fruit, coffee, tea, and juice. The waffles with strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar with a side of sausage on day one hit the spot, as did the amazing made to order omelet, bacon, potatoes, and English muffins on day two. We wholeheartedly recommend a stay at this wonderful inn!
