Great location for shopping. If you like to sleep in on a Sunday and enjoy coffee in the lobby, not the place for you. They ... started cleaning rooms and making lots of noise in the hallways, even come in your room if you don't have the dnd sign out, way before check out time. Not nice.

Benson Hotel, Portland
Pete Sep 14, 2009
Service was excellent, and the fact that all of the people were experienced, professional and knowledgable really was ... evident. The hotel is old with fairly small windows and small bathrooms, but at this rate was a real bargain. Only complaint was that it could be noisy from the hall (there was a wedding party) and from the single pane window on Broadway.

A worry free night at the Benson
AJsmom Sep 8, 2009
The location is wonderful. It's very family friendly, too. Room service variety was good. Overnight parking is $30, which ... is more than we were expecting, but you do get in/out privileges which was nice. Walking distance to Powell's, the Saturday Market. The beds were awesome and the customer service couldn't be better. We were there over the weekend so there were city noises that woke us up (people leaving bars at closing time, cars honking late at night). We'll just ask for something higher than the 5th floor next time. We can't wait to stay again.

Jesse Jul 26, 2009
A gorgeous, century-old hotel that has been impeccably maintained. Everything (bed, furniture, bath, etc.) was excellent. ... Food was excellent. All service was warm, courteous, prompt. Location (middle of downtown area) is great, and a few blocks from all the light-rail lines. We did not use the pool or fitness center. Parking is expensive (downtown location), but you may not need a car - lots to see/do by walking or streetcar or bike. (You can rent a bike or a car by the hour.) We rented a car but we won't next time. It definitely earned those four stars to us. We will certainly stay there again.

Three Nights @ The Benson
Cindy Lou Jul 25, 2009
We came down from Seattle to explore Portland as part of a vacation. The classic older Benson was all that we needed in a ... downtown hotel with impressive interior design, great location and a helpful staff. Hallway noise did creep into the room at times, but that was the only negative. Valet parking was a little expensive ($29 per day plus tips), but that is to be expected downtown. We did miss the music in the Lobby Court, as we were there on a Sunday - Tuesday night visit. The staff directed us to Jimmy Macks in the Pearl District for a great evening of Jazz. We would have expected that there at least be someone on pianno every night in the Benson's Lobby Bar. We would stay at the Benson again when next we visit Portland.

I stayed at the Benson to attend and celebrate a family member's graduation. It is a charming place and a great downtown ... location and it's easy to walk to restaurants. However, there was a lot of street noise and interior noise- I'm sure old hotels weren't built with the kind of insulation and windows that more current hotels provide. The bed was very comfortable, but it wasn't restful until about three in the morning! Additionally, lower floors look out at office buildings and parking structures.
