I recently spent a weekend at The Press Hotel and it was quite the experience! The location is fantastic, putting me within walking distance of many local shops and restaurants. The staff was super friendly and attentive, which made my stay even better. However, I did encounter some noise issues from my room's proximity to the main entrance, and the parking situation wasn’t ideal as it was valet only. Still, it was a great place that I'd definitely return to.
