The restaurants are fabulous (breakfast is slightly
overpriced
so we opted for The Original down the street instead), but the lobby decor can't be beat-- most beautiful in Portland for sure.

Cons: It's not very modern at all and weekday parking rates are astronomical (the garage belongs to someone else and the Benson didn't bother to tell us how ridiculously
overpriced
it was once the weekend ended).

We called room service for the crib and went to the London Grill for dinner (
overpriced
and bad selection).

Currently the rooms are
overpriced
compared to similar rooms in Portland, and the best staff can`t create the big thing they`re promoting here- a good night`s sleep on a tempur-pedic.
"Tempur-pedic bed and street noise don`t mix well "

You will enjoy your stay here, but do yourself a favor and avoid going to eat at the highly recommended Giorgio`s restaurant (very
overpriced
for the very small portions and extremely average atmosphere).
"Loved it! "
