The Press Hotel, Autograph Collection

Service excellent. Room very nice. Loved breakfast the most--very nice perk of staying there. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The Press Hotel is a very nice hotel; clean, modern, upscale. But I found the valuer for the money was lacking. The food in their restaurant, Union, was above average but the prices were too high for what you got. Breakfast for two (one order of oatmeal and one order of a smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese) came to $44, and with a 20% tip thrown in the meal cost $53. For breakfast! My dinner the night before was similar; very tasty food, but not worth the $125 price for two people. If you don't mind spending lots of $$, it's a great hotel with excellent service and nice rooms.

A well conceived and thoughtfully decorated hotel paying tribute to the history of the building it calls home: friendly and welcoming staff, nicely appointed rooms with an attention to quality, and a good location in downtown Portland. It would be nice if some sort of coffee and tea service was provided in the room, or at least a hot water kettle; also that the breakfast doesn’t start until 7:30 makes for less flexibility in the morning—though my meal was quite tasty and with expeditious service. I would happily stay here again.

My first thought was that the room was in need of refurbishing--fresh paint and carpeting to freshen/lighten the atmosphere. I noticed subsequently that the seating in the lobby was likewise worn, with no plump left in the sofa cushions. I had a modest room that with just enough space for me to walk on both sides of the king-sized bed without bumping up against the walls. In view of the nearly $1300 a night room rate, I thought it not unreasonable of me to expect complementary bottled water and perhaps a shower cap and Q-tips in the bathroom.

Apparently it was an old newspaper, so that’s the theme of the hotel. The restaurant bar and hotel bar are lovely. There’s lots to do and see within a short walking distance. The staff, especially Tim Caban, Assistant Guest Services Manager, is excellent-top notch! He’s very professional, yet kind and caring. Marriott, you have an excellent employee and they are difficult to find. Marty, at the front door was also great. Remembered our names, was always there, pleasant and personable. People like these two gentlemen can greatly improve your sta.

Bars were great. The bartenders were fun and fast on their feet. So close to many great restaurants and shops. Amazing experience

Fantastic hotel in the perfect location for walking around Portland. Hip, but comfortable vibe, great amenities and the restaurant is surprisingly good!

The staff were amazing, the room was amazing (the bathroom, the shower, the bed, the blackout curtains, the fancy robe, and the interior design were all superb), and the restaurant was fantastic! Unfortunately, I'm really sensitive to sound, and because the building is older, I could definitely hear small sounds in the plumbing, refrigeration, and/or ventilation that made it hard to sleep well. Additionally, the remote was a bit sluggish with the TV, and the previous guests' Netflix access hadn't been cleansed from the TV. I mentioned all of these things to the front desk, they made a note of them, and they offered me extra points since I was only staying one night.

Lovely fun hotel with great doormen and outstanding restaurant!
