What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Breakfast Experience

I enjoyed my stay at The Benson Hotel, particularly the breakfast options. I had some croquettes that were simply delicious, and even though the bearnaise sauce seemed to come from a box, it was still tasty! One drink was included, which was a nice touch, and I loved trying their version of Eggs Benedict.

Great Pool Area

I loved the pool area! It was a decent size and perfect for relaxing after a long day. Although it could use more regular maintenance, the atmosphere was still enjoyable, and the bar nearby offered some refreshing drinks to complement the experience.
