Clean and comfortable. Had trouble getting my key from human less check in front desk. The room was somewhat dated, but for the price it was good.

I've stayed there many times but have never met a staff member yet. But things are always set up as I've asked. Its the best value in Benson.

The property was older and the original room was DIRTY. There were bugs, flies, and gnats everywhere inside the room.

10/10 Exceptional

First time ever using the automated service. It was pretty neat, but I like human interfacing as well lol All in all it was a pretty neat experience.
Jameson, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is a very good property if you do not need amenities. If you are looking for a basic room only for a nights rest it was a good value.
Lonnie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy check in and check out.. staff very friendly!
Angie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was fine. Remotely managed which was weird, fridge didn't work ice machine didn't work, room was clean as far as could tell and the bed was comfortable enough for what i needed.

It was just right for an overnight stay.
Kathy, 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.
Dorinne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was very average and literally had no one to talk to in person. Also our floor in the bathroom was always damp or even wet after taking a shower.
Troy, 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.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay! We were visiting a friend in the cute little town of benson and stayed one night.No front desk person but Easy instructions for check in and getting key. Only thing was the cleaning lady knocked on our door early in am to see if we had left yet. We were awake but if not I would have been super annoyed. I think they could use a better system than that for knowing when guests have checked out. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

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.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

No communication for door being left open

The room was very nice and the location was wonderful. Communication with the property is awful, however. We had lots of trouble checking in and after we got our keys, we found our room door open. The room was rather dirty but it's impossible to tell how much of it was actually the room being dirty, and how much of it was the door being open for anything and everything to get into the room. Despite reaching out several times to the staff via the check-in desk, phone, and even their text option, no one ever reached out to us. It was a gorgeous area and easy to get to and find, but I would never stay there again.
