“The Benson did an amazing job taking precautions due to COVID. The hotel was very clean, lots of signs advising of masks being required in public areas and encouraging only families taking the elevator together. The entire staff wore masks and were extremely friendly. It was also in a safe area of Portland.”

"My husband and I have stayed at the Benson twice in the last month. We were nervous about staying anywhere outside of our own home during this time of pandemic, but it became necessary for us to travel to Portland. From the minute we walked through the doors of the Benson, we felt safe and cared for. The precautions the staff have taken and continue to take, inspire confidence immediately. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, somehow putting everyone at ease around them. The rooms have been immaculate, with explanations of how the staff is ensuring cleanliness and social distancing. The historic and beautiful Benson Hotel, in my mind, has always been an absolute gem in downtown Portland, and now it has been elevated even higher. While many businesses are only serving take-away, there are still plenty of wonderful food options near by, all can be recommended to guests by staff. I want to say thank you to the staff and management who have somehow created a peaceful and safe space for travelers during this time of pandemic and social revolution. It's truly a testament to each individual who works there."
