1. 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).

"Stately with expensive weekday parking " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/10/2011 Vote

2. First of all, I'll say that I did upgrade my ridiculously low Priceline rate to a junior suite for an additional 40 bucks at the front desk.

"Great stay! Those who wrote a poor review must have stayed in a different hotel than I did. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/8/2010 Vote

3. The wifi worked great though and since we were there on a weekend, we did not have to pay the ridiculous $29 a day parking fee and instead just parked for free on the street.

"Great location but old rooms " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/14/2009 Vote

4. No pool, the business center charges for computer/printer use which is ridiculous, rooms are a bit dark.
