John's help checking in was most welcome after a rainy drive from Boston. The Garden Room was perfect for us, with a private entrance. Close-by free parking was appreciated. The rooms are small, but comfortable and well maintained for a historic 150-yr+ building. Breakfast was top-shelf, with fresh fruit compote and amazing French toast and just-right-crisp bacon or sausage. The... more

We booked two rooms for a weekend break from New York on the basis of the website descriptions and photos. We wanted a comfortable place with a bit of "New England" atmosphere and character - i.e. not one of the national hotel chains. This is a small bed and breakfast in what was once a lovely Victorian house which, after... more

We had a great stay at the Inn. The inn keepers were warm and friendly - meeting us with a smile when we arrived at 1:00 am. Wonderful and very filling breakfasts. And so convenient to so much of Portland. We walked to the Arts District and to Old Port and didn't have to worry about trying to find parking.... more

We visited the Inn for Columbus Day weekend and had a great time. I was traveling with my fiancé for an alone-time getaway. We stayed in the Spring Room, and it was very roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was great, everything was very clean. I would suggest bringing your own toiletries as there was no conditioner and the shampoo was... more

I picked this B&B largely because of its location. I wanted to avoid the chain hotels, and this is the closest B&B to the Old Port area (about a 10-15 minute walk). Other B&Bs are further west and would add about another 10 minutes -- probably enough to make me think twice and take a taxi at night. The Portland... more

Maybe I've been spoiled by exceptional stays recently at other B&B's , but I was seriouslty let down by my stay at the Inn at Park Spring in late September, 2008. Mainly, my issues were with the quality of our guestroom. My girlfriend and I stayed in the Inn's "Courtyard" room. Unlike the main house, which is nicely appointed and... more

The Inn at Park Spring is in a great location -- just a block from the great Portland Museum of Art, a ten-minute walk to the funky shopping district, a fifteen-minute walk to the port, and within driving distance to Cape Elizabeth and Freeport (if that's your thing). We stayed in "The Gables," a HUGE room on the top floor... more

Our stay of only one night has prompted my husband and me to plan on coming back to Portland and John and Nancy's inn. I only wish I had reserved earlier so I could have stayed another night (could not as they were booked up!). Parking is conveniently across the street in a private lot however one can unload directly... more

We loved this bed and breakfast. We immediately felt welcomed, the room was clean and comfortable and the breakfasts were the delicious as well as creative. I cannot wait until I am able to visit the Inn at Park Spring again. Great location to restaurants, shops, musuems. more
