Amanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was nice, quiet and spacious. The only issue was the tv and the remote. It appears the remote was not working.

Small town hotel.
Adrienne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very comfortable and relaxing

Very nice and quant. Will say the no contact check in was a bit new to me. So be prepared if you are not. Bit of a hiccup that management was very open to discussing that we figured out together.

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.

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.
5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

4/10 Fair

Room service comes, doesn't do much... no new towels no new shampoo, lets see 2 adults 4 nights only 1 tiny shampoo. Come on. My bed was horrible springs loud n broken. And i sat in a chair it broke, i placed on my bed so house keeping would replace the broken chair and nope they just put it back at table like really
Brad, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bathrooms way too small, uncomfortable, next time our techs will stay elsewhere if they have a job in this area again.
Christine, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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!
Jessica J, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I found that getting our room key was very unique to get them and that is was very cool

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.
Denise, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The motel was great but the service was greater. They were very welcoming. There is not a front desk in the motel but we didn’t need it. They were very responsive and helpful, and explained everything in detail.
