First time staying at the Benjamin Hotel and we really enjoyed our stay. Very clean facility. Great livingroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Awesome hotel for walking downtown. We will definitely stay there again!
This hotel was amazing. The location is perfect, right on the main street. Many restaurants within walking distance. The room was beautiful and very large. We will definitely return!
The hotel was unique, had an amazing view of Franklin Street and the best parts of Watkins Glen. Walking distance to the Watkins Glen State Park, restaurants, Seneca Lake, etc. Overall, just what we were looking for!
Surprisingly new, modern, aesthetically pleasing , very roomy and clean small boutique hotel in the heart of Watkins Glen. The bathrooms are spacey with high ceilings and great shower! The bed is comfortable. You have a full kitchenette and the owners also own a winery and a small bar downstairs and welcome you with a complimentary bottle of Riesling!
Wonderful experience at the Benjamin Hotel. Spacious, comfortable room with great amenities. It was conveniently located in downtown Watkins Glen and while there is no parking onsite, it was never an issue to find easy street parking nearby. Will definitely stay again!
This was like an apartment. It had everything you need yo enjoy your stay! The mini kitchen was great and well stocked. The bathroom was so big! The bed was comfortable and the owners were just downstairs if you needed anything. I ended up forgetting my book there after we checked out. The owners repsonded right away and i was able to get in quickly to retrieve it. I would stay there again and have recommended it to others! Great location too!
We loved the room at The Benjamin. The room, itself, was huge, and the bathroom was the largest I've seen anywhere I've stayed. Double sinks and a bathtub in addition to a large shower.
Perfect location. We went in the off season and found many places closed but still had a great time. The Benjamin is beautiful! We'll definitely stay there again next time!
Kitchen well equipped, plenty of glassware, free snack bar and water.
Property located on a main thoroughfare that had constant tractor trailer traffic throughout the day and night. Unbelievably noisy
We had a great stay for my Husband birthday! Rooms were spacious and clean! Local artwork on the walls, beautifully finished rooms, and in a great walkable location! Wonderful place! We will be back again soon!
Great place to stay! Me and my boyfriend actually booked a second night! The room is so beautiful and the bed is super comfortable! It is in a great location! Would definitely recommend to my friends and hope to stay again soon!
Very new clean and nicely appointed efficiency room.
Comfortable bed, large bathroom with double sink, kitchenette and large screen tv. Easy self access to room, street parking available and good location to visit areas of interest.
Absolutely loved our stay!!!!! Our room was soooo clean, new, and tastefully decorated. It was an excellent break from life to enjoy some wine and time with your spouse.
