The Benson Portland, Curio Collection is a stunning hotel! The service is nice but casual, however the amenities and food are stunningly delicious! The downtown surrounding area is alarming as there are many homeless citizens that live in the area and can be surprising to those unaccustomed to such a sight.

Way too expensive! Not fancy enough for the price. No one helped me up the stairs to the lobby with my bags which was odd. Not greeted warmly nor was there any appreciation for my Hilton status. My tub was broken and I was looking forward to a soak after a very long day of travel. Dog friendly which was cool but I don't want to be on the same floor as barking pups. Not there fault...lots to bark at. But most properties know to have guests without pets on a separate floor. Lobby coffee was good.

Close to lots of touristy places, easy to go everywhere. Despite the tents scenes surround the hotel, it’s a great hotel to stay. Don’t miss out the stairway gallery in hotel, tells part of the history of Portland.

Historic building was amazing. My reservation request was for connected rooms. Front desk staff told me all rooms are not connected. When we got to our rooms, both were connected, just not to each other. I felt no effort was made for my 1 request and the the check in lady was border line rude when i asked about it. Other then that, amazing place.
