It is a very good property if you do not need amenities. If you are looking for a basic room only for a nights rest it was a good value.

This Is Our Go To Place In Benson

We enjoy staying at the Benson Motel because it’s clean and the staff is very responsive to our needs. The only negative is, if you are looking for breakfast, you have to go into town to seek the local options.
