RUDE, Arrogant owner!! He is not "Minnesota Nice" and it was the 2nd worst motel stay I've ever had and I'm 64 years old. He told me he didn't care WHAT people wrote about him or his motel because "he doesn't read them anyway". Even though my wife's family lives in Benson and we go there several times a year,... More

I have stayed at this hotel for a few times in 2011, and it is not a bad place to stay. The manager, BJ, was a very professional and curteous and his staff efficient. This hotel is clean with nice rooms. There is no breakfast, but by saving the money on the room, I was able to go to Sandy's... More

I have stayed at the Benson in twice before and never had a problem. They must have a new manager his name is Brijesh Patel. If he's not new then I was lucky before. It all started when I checked in harrassing me about having a room with one bed. Really I have no problem sleeping with my female friend... More

The hotel is nice and clean with attached restaurant and bar. The shower was warm, but far from hot. Generally a nice hotel with few drawbacks other than the shower.

BJ and his staff at the motel took care of all my sales reps with great service and the rooms were very clean and beds very comfortable. It is nice to see that customer service is still important to some people keep up the good work and excellent service BJ.

After reading the reviews I was worried about staying at the Benson Inn, but the price was right and we just needed a place to sleep. We were pleasantly surprised that the rooms were spacious and clean. The temperature control was fine. We had a fridge and a coffee pot. The queen bed was not exactly plush but was ok.... More

The staff was extremely rude to deal with. Did not clean our room. Overcharged us for our animals to stay in the room as to what we were quoted and then berated us for bringing our animals when it is an "animal-friendly" hotel. We were told that if there was even an animal hair left in the room we would... More

Called and spoke with a guy around 4pm, quoted us a double bed room for 2 people at $50. Arrived at the hotel around 6pm, and were told that there was no way we could have been told a double room was only $50, that the room was $68.50. For another $20 a night, save yourself the headache, and go... More

My husband and I, our adult daughter and her two children ages 14 and 3 stayed one night. No complaints about the room or the facilities. We had a bad experience with a styrofoam cup filled with hot water from the dispenser in the breakfast area. Our daughter was making her 3-year old son instant oatmeal after late swimming. He...

This hotel was clean and nice - but the general manager was obnoxious and rude; claimed we cancelled our reservation - when we said we did not - he screamed at us. He carried on for at least 30 minutes, ranting and raving - telling us to take our business elsewhere - claiming he'd give us a room, chastising us... More
