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.

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.

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!

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.
