Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the Benson hotel in Portland. The rooms were superbly done, clean, and well-lit, although the view was limited to a neighboring building. The staff provided excellent service and went out of their way to accommodate my needs. The location was convenient, within walking distance of great restaurants and city attractions.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were incredibly classy and very comfortable, although a bit small and crowded at times. The setup with a massive wall and a small window on the far right added a unique touch to the room.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms felt like small apartments with a cozy feel, clean, well-furnished, and even the smaller room turned out to be better than expected. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making our stay extra special. The location was perfect, being in the downtown core of Portland and within walking distance to cafes, restaurants, and all the main attractions. The dining experience was quite good, and the facilities were top-notch.
