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!

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!

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.

We were not able to take our trip due to Delta airline cancellations. So, we had to cancel our hotel stay. The hotel (The Press-a Marriott property) was not willing to refund our $1600.00. As a Titanium Elite for life Marriott customer, I am disappointed in Marriott and Expedias efforts to obtain refund. Paul Richey (901) 828-1587 1602 Ganton Dr Dexter, MO. 63841

The stay was fine but for the price, it should have been outstanding. The bed was comfortable and the shower was nice. But there were things that need improvement-the hairdryer was cheap, the outlets by the bed did not work-so my phone was not charged and ironing board was broken. There were trays and items left in the hallway for an extended time. None of this was a big deal but for a $777/night room charge, things should be great. I did room service for breakfast ($50 for one person) but got a cup of coffee (should have been a pot), no salt/pepper, water or jams. Service was good but didn’t blow me away. It felt like a regular Marriott -but was priced much higher. This place could be special cause the location is good, if they just provided the extra value.

Just spent a week here for our first trip to Maine. The location was amazing as there were dozens of shops and restaurants just outside the front door and within a two to three block radius. Many of the attractions we had planned on visiting were just blocks away and the Casco boat ferry shipyard was less than a ten minute walk. We felt safe in the area and the quality of the area was great. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We declined housekeeping service during our stay but the hallways, lobby and front desk areas were spotless. Having worked in hotels for 35 years I can say this property is exceptional and everyone from the hotel we encountered were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Overall this hotel was excellent and I would definitely stay here again. The rooms were completely updated, comfortable, modern and quiet. DEFINITELY fantastic compared to what you might expect in the area, and better than many big city hotels, too. The front desk staff were terrific, and the kitchen staff were incredibly accommodating with special requests.

Because the hotel was quite full, we were placed in a handicapped accessible room, which was fine, except: Light switches next to the bed were very high, and difficult to reach the switches once in bed. Can't imagine trying to do this if one were handicapped. Overall the lighting in the room was inadequate. An addition of some kind of overhead lighting, or better, a floor lamp, would improve that. The shower was not walk in but rather had a tub, and the controls were difficult to figure out and the knobs difficult to turn. The faucet was beautiful but had knobs, rather than levers, and a handicapped accessible bathroom should have levers; as it was it was difficult for us to turn the knobs (and they were mounted the wrong way). On the positive side, the decor was nice and the bed was comfortable.

This hotel is trying to be more than it is. The whole theme is based on being an old newspaper office and those references are everywhere. Ok but whatever. It’s way too expensive for the level of comfort or service. The expense is only justified by its location. This is Portland Maine. Not Manhattan. Just cost too much. The restaurant is odd at best. Again they are trying way too hard. The menu is very limited and the menu is trying to be hip with lots of one word descriptions leaving you wondering just what you are getting. I don’t think many people are there for some high end gastronomic experience. It’s a hotel. They want something to eat after a long day. The server didn’t seem to know what anything was other than reading back the poorly written menu as it was written standing there like a deer in the headlights. What came was not to order and the portions were not entree size at all. The muscles were a small appetizer size or maybe if this were a multi course dinner it could have been an appetizer course. This was not dinner!! and way to expensive. To top it off they were just ok. Not well cleaned and rather bland. After a very noisy night with a bathroom door that wouldn’t latch. Worn out furniture. And HVAC that was all or nothing we texted to have the valet get our vehicle to find it had been parked outside over night in an ice storm!! Everything was frozen shut!! I was soooo mad. I never would’ve paid $40 for parking knowing this up front.

Overall, excellent location, everything is walkable and the hotel is classy. Id say the valet is a little steep at $40/night, id expect closer to $25/night given the location. The front desk was incredibly helpful. My few small suggestions for improvement would be with the TV, which could not load netflix of HBO and would have made a big difference in our stay. The other area was with the cleaning crew, they did not replace the glasses or coffee mugs that were very clearly used. Additionally there was a lot of dust build up behind the TV(exploring how to fix the streaming) and you could see it in the vents, not an everyday cleaning area so it's due. Lastly, it's a dog friendly hotel, which we loved but the cleaning crew always gave us dirty looks in the hallway with our dogs, who were not barking and being well behaved. That was unnecessary. Overall it was a good stay with some opportunities for improvement
