The Ben is more than a friend
Pros:

I can’t rate the staff high enough. We came to WPB so my wife could have her back surgery. We had some special needs & requests. The STAFF has been nothing short of incredible. Friendly, helpful & efficient! I have to name them as they should get special recognition. When we arrived my wife needed the wheelchair to get to our room. Eric the security professional assisted us and has been over the top helpful. The desk staff is great, especially Jacob & Jaida. The restaurant personnel have also been incredible, Ruth (host), Gigi (server), Sofia & Ky (barista) and Juan & Mike (servers). All these people have been absolutely GREAT. You have a treasure chest of personnel.

A Terrific Breakfast at Proper Grit with Ruth and Daniel
Pros:

Breakfast at Proper Grit at The Ben was outstanding. The Pioneer Breakfast hit the spot and our sever Daniel took great care of us. We had the pleasure of talking a little with the Host, Ruth. What a hard worker and an inspiring lady! Truly a pleasure all around. Highly recommend Proper Grit!

A proper way to start your day!
Pros:

Absolutely 1st rate! Super cool chic vibe. The food was on par but the standout was the service. From Ruth at the hostess stand who was welcoming and happy to our server Gigi, they made our breakfasts a wonderful way to start the day. Friendly, accommodating and desire to please are a few words to describe their impact.

An off day -handled with an exceptional response 👍
Pros:

Sometimes hotels can have an off day / maybe that’s what happened ant our last stay. We stayed at the Ben at least 5xs. How a hotel handles those issues truly needs to be recognized. Upon that basis: the hotel deserves 5 stars. Here, the Ben provided exceptional assistance and service by Jaida S. at the front desk to address some of the issues, and exceptional service by the concierge Linda B. for her great recommendations after an exhausting trip. Also, the Ben offered guests the Bruno shuttle - a truly nice service - JerryGerry knows the area and it’s a special treat for guests.

Great food great time!
Pros:

We sat on the patio in the shade and had mimosas and coffees! Ruth greeted us at the front and made sure we were able to get in before breakfast ended. Gorkem was extremely kind and made our whole meal relaxing and enjoyable. Sorry our trip is ending and we can’t come back!
