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 .

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.

Andre Rocha

Very nice historic hotel . Rooms could use a renovation, but they were clean and comfortable . Free and fast wifi .

Bruce Schneider

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!!!

Mai Guss

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.

Merredith Branscombe

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.

Denis Vladimirov

Horror movies has to be filmed in this hotel . Nevertheless, it was cool staying here!

amy Dubin

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 .

Gary Lusk

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!

Shina

Pretty old but has a lot of charm. The rooms are massive and it’s in a fantastic location.

Ted Coppock

Old school charm, Great food, Awesome room. Very friendly .

AT&T

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.

Traver Wall

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 .

Jacquie Rooney

The breakfast buffet is dynamite. Quality food paired with top notch service!

George Adamidis

Great location and super clean rooms !

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!

Jen C Simpson

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.

Earl Bless

Ask Jonah for a manhattan with the special italian cherries he hides in the fridge

Sherman Leibow

Classic old-school swankiness in Downtown Portland. A short walk from the Pearl .

Ty Hildebrand

Great happy hour ..

Marisa Moran

Rooms are super tiny and smell like old casino (smoke scent is penetrated through all rooms)

Erik Granlund

Not sure what others were saying about small rooms. I got the junior suite and it's ginormous.

Scott Abernethy

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

Samuel Araki

There are some really tiny rooms here... Stay away from room numbers ending in - 10, - 15

Iain M

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.

Kimanh Moreau

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?
