A beautiful lobby. Well maintained building. I will come again. The staff was great and a waitress named Katherine was exceptional. Umbrellas are available for the walking tripst to grate restaurants and other city sights.

Just loved Portland and The Benson. From the valet parking to the porter to reception and conscierge everyone was so proud to be working at The Benson and rightly so. Had that wonderful feel of a very well run historic family hotel with the focus on true customer service and satisfaction. Delightful bedrooms and beds, could fault absolutely nothing. Well... More

The Benson is a beautiful hotel and we enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms clean and well appointed. The location of this hotel is very convenient as well. We had several meals in the bar area that were very nice. I would stay at the Benson again.

Amazing service from start to finish. We book through a discount hotel site, and expected to be treated as such. How wrong we were! From our early check in ( we only wanted To store our bags ) to our check out, everything was first class. It didn't seem family friendly, but they were very accommodating to our 18 mos... More

I stayed at the Benson for a conference - May 20 - 24, 2013. The location is great - very close to the rail lines, and within short walking distance to many of the great neighborhoods, attractions and restaurants downtown. The room was very clean and spacious, the wifi worked well, the tv channels were fine. The amenities int he... More

We stayed at the Benson for three days and it will be difficult to return to the real world. I read that every U.S. president since Taft has stayed here and It didn’t surprise me a bit. We were able to walk to all the attractions we wanted to see such as the museums, concert halls, shops, the great restaurants... More

I stayed only for two nights and I was impressed by the good service of the hotel. It is an old building, but still manages to be attractive. The room I stayed was a large one, several good quality amenities, including bathrobe, slippers. The bathroom was also large, but it will probably need upgrading pretty soon. I saw some cracks...

I went down to Portland for a night for a concert and stayed at the Benson. The interiors are nice, very "old money". And the price I got on hotels.com was competitive. After coming back from the concert and hoping to wind down I soon realized that was not going to happen. I could hear every little detail of what... More

I am not from Portland, and I only spent 2 nights in the city during my stay, but I really didn't get a great sense of security from the city. Portlanders probably will disagree, and perhaps you can chalk it up my lack of familiarity with the city, but when I was in the hotel I felt like I was... More
