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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

The opulent lobby is Portland at its poshest, with marble covering everything from the grand staircase to the fireplace.

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.

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.

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.
AT&TSeptember 13, 2011
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.

Great location and super clean rooms!

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

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.

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!

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.
Marisa MoranJanuary 23, 2016
Rooms are super tiny and smell like old casino (smoke scent is penetrated through all rooms)
Erik GranlundMay 3, 2014
Not sure what others were saying about small rooms. I got the junior suite and it's ginormous.

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

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

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!
Linda CollinsOctober 24, 2010
bed and pillows were amazingly comfy! robes too.
Samuel ArakiMarch 21, 2013
There are some really tiny rooms here... Stay away from room numbers ending in - 10, - 15

Slowest elevators in Portland. Lobby may be nice but rooms need an update.

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?
OlesyaNovember 7, 2014
Ну очень красивый отель! Вкусный завтрак, отличнейшее расположение. Номера могут сильно отличаться от малюсеньких угловых, до больших
