Comfy spot to spend the week/weekend with your s/o ! Suggestions were made on where to eat and list was given. Really helpful since we came in the night of restrictions due to covid. Day time is perfect to walk down a few blocks for amazing breakfast, great local coffee! Including all the great breweries and bars. Everything about the stay was great. Plan your adventures and be back before 8-10 since that's when majority of spots close down and night time walking can be a little eerie . Valet pass is a plus and useful service honestly! Thanks again to The Benson Hotel!

The Benson is right in the heart of downtown with so many places to explore on foot nearby. The staff is warm and so welcoming, the ambiance of the building is very historic and charming. I have stayed here a couple of times, the bar is a highlight! It should be back open soon. I even got to chat with the GM one morning, such a nice individual! I recommend strolling around the property, they have beautiful event spaces, a mini museum and so much more! Don’t miss out, definitely THE spot to stay in Portland!

As you enter the historic building, you’re greeted by an abundance of old school charm throughout the lobby. From the decor to the staff, the Benson has meticulously curated an ambiance that appeases all senses. I had the delight of meeting the General Manager, George, who took it upon himself to ensure our stay was up to standards. Sophie at the front desk provided great recommendations and knowledge of the area.

The Hotel was booked through Amtrak Vacations so we didn't know what to expect form The Benson except form the pictures on their website and other reviews. We were very very pleased with The Benson. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is beautiful! The room was spacious and clean and the location was great for my son who had a window to look out. I do commend them on how they handled COVID requirements. Although the restaurant was closed they offered a wide variety of food options-meals, drinks, snacks and more for purchase form the front desk. The hotel is centrally located to shopping and public transportation. We took the train and the hotel was less than a 5 minute Taxi drive. Dollar car rental is 2 blocks from the hotel also. I would highly recommend The Benson if you are going to need a hotel in downtown Portland.…

Thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey and share your experience. I am disappointed to learn that our staff did not alert you to our cleaning protocols for COVID. We are cleaning stayover rooms only upon request, in order to limit exposure of our guests and employees to others. Please accept my sincere apologies. We take great pride in the steps taken to ensure you and our employees are safe. Nevertheless, I will definitely review this issue with our team. Thank you, also, for your kind comments about the service you received from our front desk and valet staff. It is nice to hear you enjoyed your stay overall. Be that as it may, we are used to getting 5 star reviews, so I would like to make the oversight up to you and have a chance to regain your confidence in our ability to meet a level of service and attention to detail that warrants a higher rating for any future stay. Since I do not have your contact information, it would great if you will call me at 503-222-4160 to discuss this further. I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks again for sharing your feedback and for staying at The Benson. We sincerely appreciate your business. Kindly, George Schweitzer Managing Director
