"In an area just outside of town and off the main highway so it was quiet.
Minimal breakfast options but there are good restaurants nearby in Watkins Glen.
We would stay here again for sure!"

The room and bathroom were huge, clean and nicely decorated. It was nice having dedicated parking too. We didn’t realize that since it was end of their season, many spots were closed or only open certain days. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay at the Benjamin!

The property was beautiful. We loved the chalet that we stayed in, super comfy bed, beautiful views, no matter which one you stay in. Staff was very kind, helping us park our trailer, and being accommodating. Would highly recommend this little secret in Watkins Glen.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Laurel for the weekend as it was our anniversary. We enjoy visiting the area and wineries at least once a year. The view from our room was absolutely beautiful. We had a complete view of Seneca lake and liked how close we were to downtown Watkins Glen.

First of all, the owner/operator Jim proactively called us to confirm our arrival time and couldn't have been more pleasant. When we arrived, he upgraded us to the best room in the lodge which was an absolutely gorgeous, beautifully appointed studio apartment sized suite that was just as clean and comfortable as could be. It had a spectacular view of Seneca Lake as well. We missed breakfast that next morning, but the giant sized common kitchen/dining/parlor area remained accessible with fresh...

The owners were very pleasant and the place was very clean. Short walk to some beautiful waterfalls and a short drive to Watkins Glen Racetrack. Highly recommend, will return in the future.

Very clean. Staff were extremely nice . They offered free water which was a great touch . Only odd thing was none of the walls had any pictures on them.

The hotel was excellent as a base for visiting several state parks in the area, the closest being Watkins Glen which is so close the hotel parking is just outside the official parking. The hotel has character from the rooms down to the unique features of selling its own home made ice-cream and beeswax. The breakfast is simple but nice, waffles (with the help of the waffle machine), apples, bananas and coffee.

This is place is pretty new. The rooms are beautiful. The staff was very helpful and the wifi internet worked well. They include breakfast in the morning and it's a very nice meal. A lot of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, fresh cheese omlets and even a waffle maker.
For the price it can't be beat and compares well with many more expensive.
There is a Texas Roadhouse restaurant right next door!

Very clean, modern hotel. Breakfast is so good, with many fresh baked pastries and breakfast pizza. There is also a brewery right next door, so that is a bonus! Highly recommend.
