The rooms are just right, the bathroom can be a little bigger but other than that is good, the best thing is its location. Really good to walk around and meet the city .
A Happy Hour favorite -- such an impressive place! International tapas-style menu. GORGEOUS and fancy lobby and restaurant ! Find more Happy Hour BESTS in the Happy Hour Guidebook! http://bit.ly/jxrLJ
The hotel is full of charm and world class service. It's central downtown location makes it the perfect starting point for a memorable Portland adventure.
Very nice historic hotel . Rooms could use a renovation, but they were clean and comfortable . Free and fast wifi .
Quite possibly the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. Kathryn, in the restaurant (breakfast ) will make your day brighter no matter what! She's THAT good!!!
If you call down to the front desk or housekeeping, they will lend you a "companion fish " betta for the duration of your stay, free of charge.
Really great location, service, accommodations and price. Santeria (hole in the wall)great mexican food . Super close. Kenny and Zuke's deli AWESOME. Close as well .
The restaurant has great happy hour fare and fun cocktails -- the "deep fried egg " with truffle oil and charred asparagus " is fantastic. Thank me later.
Great service, fancy rooms and AMAZING crab cake benidict
Horror movies has to be filmed in this hotel . Nevertheless, it was cool staying here!
Gorgeous lobby with an awesome fireplace . If you're walking around downtown and it's chilly, stop in to warm up and have a drink in their handsome lounge .
Great hotel , but If you require Internet access - you might consider other options. It is free (via AT&T wifi ) but it was slow and unreliable the week I was there.
Beautiful restaurant beneath the hotel ! Ask for a tour of the secret wine room! Bet you can't find the entry door - it really IS secret!
Pretty old but has a lot of charm. The rooms are massive and it’s in a fantastic location.
Old school charm, Great food, Awesome room. Very friendly .
Another great reason to stay here: AT&T Wi-Fi is one of the many amenities here for guests. It’s fast and easy to connect.
If you are having dinner in either London Grill or El Gaucho, stop into the lobby bar for a drink as well . It's beautiful and has nice live music .
The breakfast buffet is dynamite. Quality food paired with top notch service!
Great location and super clean rooms !
The opulent lobby is Portland at its poshest, with marble covering everything from the grand staircase to the fireplace .
Each room has organic bamboo robes ... yeah, you heard it, organic bamboo robes . See for yourself! Read more
It's a good thing the Benson has a fitness center , the breakfast buffet is very well apportioned.
Enjoy your stay! While you are there check out the beautiful marble floors from the 1920's that we have been maintaining for over 4 years. WOW!
Old hotel but bed is comfy . Continental breakfast is simple but gd - fresh fruits in a bowl, toast , juice , and coffee . Unfortunately, no cell phone reception on the bottom flr where the restaurant is.
Ask Jonah for a manhattan with the special italian cherries he hides in the fridge
Classic old-school swankiness in Downtown Portland. A short walk from the Pearl .
Great happy hour ..
Rooms are super tiny and smell like old casino (smoke scent is penetrated through all rooms)
Not sure what others were saying about small rooms. I got the junior suite and it's ginormous.
Beware of the valet parking rip-off! My vehicle was parked for about 14 hours, and $29 was added to the room bill, plus the tip for retrieving my vehicle!
Christmas Gingerbread Castle
There are some really tiny rooms here... Stay away from room numbers ending in - 10, - 15
Avoid this hotel - mediocre and. It worth the price for the service. Noisy halls with slamming doors, lack of modernization in the rooms. Lobby looks nice but otherwise I give it 2.5 of 5 at best.
Free wifi for hotel guests
The architecture
Make sure to try the Benson Bubbler out front!
LOVEY! I feel so fancy .
bed and pillows were amazingly comfy ! robes too.
In n out man it's take the somehow day izzoff.cheetahpuppies.calm
I found the staff to be very pleasant and witty. Yeah, that's right! Witty
Ummm...beautiful piano in a cozy setting...
They don't have microwaves so be ready to not be able to eat left overs!
Slowest elevators in Portland. Lobby may be nice but rooms need an update.
Check out the Gingerbread display (Thanksgiving through Christmas )
I used the bathroom here. The bell hop was super cute
Benson looks nice but don't bother..... Inept desk loses big reservations , keycards don't work, room service won't pick up the phone.... WTF?
