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.

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.
