The Benson Portland, Curio Collection by Hilton

4.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1003)
"Everything was just fine. Beautiful hotel accommodating staff. I must say I expected a little extra extra staying at the Benson. Which I didn't really feel. Beautifully decorated for Christmas which is what I was looking for. Accommodating a dog was a lovely option, but you don't get anything for the $40 charge and there's literally nowhere for the dog to go to the bathroom within a three block radius. I felt unsafe going out in the morning. I was able to get a dog bowl by calling housekeeping....

"The suites have ample space to sleep multiple people and provide privacy by having private bedroom(s). However, the pullout sofa bed was horrible. The mattress was old and very thin making it impossible to sleep on as a bed with no support and feeling the inner springs. Had to sleep on the actual sofa instead. The sofa sleeper needs to be replaced. Luckily only needed a spot for 1 person and not 2. Also, the linens for the sofa bed looked dingy and not clean. Everything else was fine. "
