The elegant Benson Hotel will celebrate it's 100th birthday soon. If you enjoy a historical, warm setting with dark wood, cozy chairs by a burning fire in a lobby with antique chandeliers, this is the place for you. Rooms have comfortable beds with duvets and nice linens, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location couldn't be better: right... More

For a classic, elegant hotel, you can't beat the Benson. The ambiance and staff are first rate. From the elegant wood-paneled lobby to the fabulous Tempur-pedic beds, our five-day stay at this historic hotel was perfect. The lobby bar serves a generous glass of pinot noir with tasty snacks to accompany. Location is perfect for walking anywhere in Portland --... More

I enjoyed staying at The Benson during my last trip to Portland. The wood-paneled lobby with it's huge fireplaces and gigantic chandeliers was a real treat to walk through. The room we had was an upgraded Junior Suite. It was a nice-sized corner room on the sixth floor with a nice view of downtown. The restroom was a little on... More

And that's where the problem is. The beauty of this hotel is not timeless. It looks worn. During my first two days I enjoyed the questionable pleasure of moving guest room three times.... More

Inside, suggestion 1- do not take a room between 10-20 numbers.... More

This was a great hotel, in a great location at a very reasonable price. The building was recently restored and so the lobby is very grand and opulent. The room was smallish as was the bathroom, but since we were so centrally located we were rarely in the room. On a random side note, the elevator was wicked fast (surprising... More

This was my first stay at this hotel, but I'll be back. Tremendous value and lived up to it's rating in every way. More

I definitely recommend this wonderful hotel. The building itself is very classy, the rooms superb, the beds extremely comfortable and the hotel staff are outstanding in their desire to help. One of the great features is that pets are welcome and our companion canine was treated like a star being supplied with a comfortable dog bed and a welcome treat... More
