Just lovely - stand out...

Liked: Excellent accommodations and tremendous staff. The free shuttle for guests around the city was a great perk. There is wonderful attention to detail and we loved our stay at the Press.
Disliked: There is a lovely restaurant in the location, but they do not provide room service or spa amenities on site.

It was pleasant overall.

Liked: We liked that it was across the street from Merrill Auditorium (the reason we stayed there).
Disliked: We prefer to have morning coffee in our room but the coffee maker was dirty and didn't work. Also, the valet parking sign is cute in keeping with the Press theme; however, it isn't very practical. An older person such as myself might have a hard time reading it.

Good

Disliked: Initial room was on north side of hotel next to fire department and a loading dock. Nocie room, terrible location in hotel. Get south side or go elsewhere.

Unique, pampered stay in the...

Liked: The Press offers a unique stay from chain hotels. The restaurant is fantastic. Staff are helpful, friendly and truly accommodating. It is a tad pricey in high season, so we go in the off season. The beds are super comfy and the rooms are well maintained and spotless. It has a great vibe, w local.art on display. They have a shuttle to take you local places, not just the airport.
Disliked: Seriously, we love it there. I even wrote their manager a personal note about how much we enjoyed ourselves.

If you go to Portland,...

Liked: The place is just so quaint. The little quotes on everything, the book of Maine poetry on the bed for turn down, the Scrabble board by the fireplace...great. And the Staff, from the valet to the front desk and all the other staff around the property...so friendly and accommodating.
Disliked: Can't think of anything
