Out of all the places to stay in downtown Portland...

Out of all the places to stay in downtown Portland, the Benson has become my least favorite. I've stayed there several times hoping for better outcomes but each is the same. The best way to describe staying at the Benson is its like staying at grandma's house. Everything is dusty, old, and outdated with a few upgrades here and there. On top of that, the walls are so thin that you can't have any social interaction without getting a complaint. It's just a run down, upiddy, out dated hotel. We prefer the Embassy.
