I loved The Benson. So many hotels look exactly the same these days - it was so nice to stay in a hotel with some charm and history. The staff was outstanding (especially our waiter at breakfast) and I was made to feel very welcome. My room was spacious and updated. The hotel is centrally located downtown and within walking distance of the Pearl District. I highly recommend this hotel!
I had a fantastic stay at The Benson. The staff was very helpful, for a variety of questions (directions to avoid traffic, restaruant advise, etc). The room was beautiful and I could not sleep better at home! The location is ideal, in the middle of everything downtown. Only a short walking distance to so many shops and restaurants.
Close to all sorts of sites including Bijou Cafe, Pioneer Square, Powell's Books, riverside restaurants, OR Historical Society, Nordstroms. Public transportation options excellent; good shuttle service from airport; I'd come back again and again. Concierge staff very helpful w/ suggestions of restaurants and making reservations; lobby comfortable and well-appointed.
I was amazed with the service and privacy!!!
Bad customer service, small rooms,overpriced and overrated
Bathroom was really small. otherwise a great stay
