A group of friends stayed at the Benson to usher in my birthday week. I couldn't have asked for a better beacon in Portland to introduce me to the city. Aside from the obvious historical significance of the hotel and modern room accoutrements that led to a stress free and comfortable stay, the staff and management went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. Definitely worth a repeat stay when I get a chance to explore Portland again. Be sure to visit their stairwell and descend from the top. You may find my picture and name on a plaque there someday...
