Between SF and here we did other stuff, no Pricelines. It cost us more that way, but we also had some flexibility a couple nights (drive up coast between SF and Portland) and chose a couple of specific places for other nights.

Anyway, this one was full of rebids that ticked me off. Others have gotten this for I think below $70 at times, but I had to pay $83 before I finally got it. I think I was going in about $3 increments, so I couldn't be too far off. Again, sometimes it costs more to bid further out too it seems. Doesn't matter though, this place is totally worth it. It's a great old hotel building, great service and great people there. Most stocked bathroom I've seen in a long time. Hehe. Highly recommended. I find it hard to see how you could be disappointed if you get this one even if it does take 80-odd bucks to get it.

I edited the date.

Glad you enjoyed your stay as this hotel often seems to get MIXED REVIEWS.

Hint, hint, eh? :) Yes, I'll add my review. I forgot to search through there for the Benson. Too bad others have had mediocre rooms it looks like, but I thought ours was fine. I'm sure it's not the only place with some widely varying opinions. Will detail over there.
