It's an old hotel, but has been updated well. It still maintains a Lobby with an old wood finish. The bathroom only fits one person at a time. There is exactly an inch and a half of clearance between the shower door and the toilet. Be sure to leave plenty of time for each individual to get ready in the morning. The Benson does have the nice, firm, memory foam mattresses. The hotel is next to a sports bar that does get a little Rowdy, depending on the night. The sound definitely bleeds into the rooms. The only reason I stayed here was El Gaucho is downstairs and there aren't many places you can have a Manhattan, awesome desserts and a good cigar. The last thing worth mentioning is the convenience of this particular location. There's a Starbucks a block away, perfectly situated on the streets that give you straight shots over the bridges and the freeway.
