Nice hotel, convenient to everything.

We loved the spaciousness of the room and the ambiance of the lobby. I just wanted to kick back with a coffee and book. We also loved the restaurant attached. Favorite meal we had in Portland.

This is a lovely hotel. My husband and I stayed here as part of our honeymoon road trip through New England and had high hope from having read great reviews - we were not disappointed! The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly, and the hotel has a fun, quirky charm and really leans into the old newspaper printer history in a classy way. The rooms are nicely appointed and the bed was probably the coziest, most comfortable we had on our trip. The lobby is a nice place to sit and people watch, have a drink or play a board game, and the hotel is walking distance to the main street and lots of shops and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again should we ever get back to Portland!

It was not clear that the valet was not included in the nightly fee and it was an additional $40 per night plus tips to get your car every time. Upon checking out they had us for 7 nights and not 5. Upon check-in the staff suggested a restaurant that was not open to eat at the time requested. For an upscale hotel we expected a smoother experience.

A fantastic spot in the heart of downtown - walkable to all the greatest spots in the city. Highly recommend this hotel.

Convenient location, clean room, attentive staff … excellent overall experience

We really enjoyed our stay at the Press. Great location. City location so be prepared for typical city noises- right next store to a fire station. But so much is walkable and the staff/valet are all wonderful. Rooms are small but modern and very clean. Great beds!

Walkable, not worth the price

Comfortable, clean rooms with great amenities. Location was perfect for walking, eating and shopping. Staff was very friendly.

Room was not ready at check in, although they did offered me free breakfast for taking a smaller room. Also, at check out

Great location. Nicely finished hotel. Nice staff.

Great location and nice rooms.

Great location. Need better parking options.

My wife and I spent two nights at the Press and dined in its restaurant one evening. From the moment we were greeted by the valet we felt welcomed and well-informed. The hotel is on a fairly quiet edge of the main downtown shopping and dining area. From there you can easily visit the harbor and various historical sites. Very nice. Restaurant was also good.

The Press Hotel is a lovely, clean boutique conveniently located across from City Hall in Portland. Rooms are well-designed, if a bit small, with excellent beds and a rainfall shower in the bathroom. Well placed near enough to both the Washington Avenue and Munjoy Hill areas, as well as to the Old Port area. Portland has become a bit more worrisome for tourists with the number of unhoused, etc. but the areas around the Press never felt sketchy. Overall, strong recommendation. A few nits that we encountered to keep in mind: *City Hall has a bell tower which rings out every hour, on the hour, with the number of that hour (i.e., midnight gets 12 bell tolls). We asked for a room away from the bell tower and didn't really notice it, but if you are a light sleeper take the time to request a distant room; *TV in room was difficult to operate and Wifi was not strong enough to allow for streaming (fine for other uses); *The door to the lovely rainfall shower doesn't fully seal causing water to seep out on the floor unless careful; *Occasionally calls to the front desk from inside and outside the hotel went unanswered, as there is typically only one person at the desk; *Our in-room fridge was not on when we arrived and we requested service while we were out. We returned to find a cold fridge but the door had been left open. Nothing happened, and the front desk was appalled to hear about this, but not exactly best practices.

Perfect location. Walkable to dining, shopping and waterfront. Highly recommend!

We attended a show at the Merrill Auditorium and this was on the corner across the street - WOW - most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! Everything was lovely - the decor was great and the service top notch! Will be back!!

rooms too small given the price tv difficult to use

We loved the newspaper theme but especially the old typewriters and other memorabilia. We had a lovely stay. Can’t wait to come back.

This hotel is absolutely not worth the price tag as there are multiple issues. The first being the car service they promise was out of service and when we asked why we had not been notified of this staff replied that "the service had been out for a long time" yet they still advertise it. The bathroom door is see through which is obviously an issue and there is no ramp to get into the hotel so you have to drag your luggage up the steps as no staff offered to assist. A staff member wrote us a sticky note upon check in of "where not to go" because the area around the hotel is so unsafe. The safe is housed in a drawer of the night stand which means anyone can simply pull the drawer out and walk out with it. The water bottles in the room are not free and cost $6 a bottle which is fine except we were told they were free when we called prior to arrival. Lastly, Wifi is not free either and you can only get it if you are a Marriott member. Which again is not mentioned until you arrive. For the price tag this hotel is not worth it and very unfriendly for differently abled folks.
