Denise
This cute little motel was perfect for what I needed. The only thing I really didn’t like was there was no type of vending machines. The town is kind of in the middle of no where and there wasn’t any type place to get food. A snack would have been very helpful.

Pleasant stay!
This motel exceeded my expectations for the price. It’s very clean and quiet. Great water pressure and the bed was super comfortable. Check-in is a little different as there is no front desk worker. You will get a text before your arrival with a code that you enter at a kiosk in the lobby and your key pops out. It is simple. It’s also worth noting that they do not do early check-ins before 3pm. My biggest complaint is that the WiFi connection is slow and there’s only a Roku tv; no antenna/live channels. This made watching tv in the evening hard because every few minutes it would lose connection. My coworker in another room had the same issue. The room was also quite dark even with all the lights on. Overall I had a great stay and will definitely be back!

6/10 Good

King size bed with large windows to let in natural light. Check in was automated and very easy. Housekeeping knocked on the door at 8:30am to see if we had left (they didn't announce themselves, but later learned it was staff and not a misdirected customer). Housekeeping knocked again at 9:30am and opened the door as they announced themselves before I could reach it while partially dressed. Check out was supposed to be at 11am, but felt like we should have been out of the room before 7am.

I was looking for a place to stay 1 night after hiking the beautiful State Parks in this area, and Expedia suggested this motel. It was perfect for my needs. The price is right, the room ample and clean, nice king size bed, water pressure in the shower amazing. I'll continue to explore this area after a good-night sleep.

This Is Our Go To Place In Benson
We enjoy staying at the Benson Motel because it’s clean and the staff is very responsive to our needs. The only negative is, if you are looking for breakfast, you have to go into town to seek the local options.

I recently stayed at this quaint and cute motel, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The check-in process was different from the usual, as they have implemented automated services, but it was smooth and hassle-free. It's clear that the motel has undergone significant updates, and they are transforming it into a place people will really enjoy. After a dinner in town, we returned to the motel and spent some time relaxing outside in their comfortable Adirondack chairs, taking in the beautiful view. Overall, a wonderful stay that I would recommend to anyone looking for a cozy and modernized retreat.

Very Comfortable, Clean and Roomy Rooms
We like to stay here as it is close to family. The owners are very responsive to all text and email messages to answer questions or if I/we need anything.

Clean Motel. Responsive Staff.
The rooms are clean. When we ran out of facial tissue, the staff was very responsive to replace our box. I put a 4 star on eco-friendly as I didn’t see anything that promoted recycling.

2/10 Poor

Awful.
Never. Again. The bed was so springy and nasty we barely spelt. Sheets were shaggy and felt like sandpaper. The whole building was musty and stank so badly that I needed to launder everything immediately including what we didn’t wear. There were no privacy curtains so the room was like a dungeon or people could see into your room. The water even stank.

Great overnight stay!
Super comfortable bed and pillows. We slept well after the trains stopped whistling. Very spacious room for the two of us. Love the idea of how to check in to get the room key. Owners/managers very attentive to questions in texts. Thank you!
