Great room!

We only stayed one night but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was large, modern, immaculately clean and comfortable. The bathroom is amazing. Street parking was easy. The hotel is located on the main street and the state parking is in walking distance.

6/10 Good

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
Gary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Wow!

Fabulous spacious room with dramatic floor to ceiling windows on downtown. Decadent bathroom. Truly one of a kind. Mere blocks to Watkins Glen State Park.

Everything; probably top 3 places we ever stayed! So impressive!

The Franklin Room was excellent. It was clean, modern, spacious and the bed was super-comfortable. The bathroom was luxurious and the huge tinted windows were fantastic. I highly recommend The Benjamin Hotel.

I loved the layout of the room. It was huge as well as the bathroom. Very nice brand new property. Would definitely stay there again.

10/10 Exceptional

This is the swankiest hotel I have stayed at for the price. I stayed in off-season. The bed was comfortable, the location is walkable, off street parking, the shower was excellent, good temperature control, and staff accessible via phone. Only negative is no elevator. Had to haul my luggage up a large staircase.

Beautiful room. Great amenities. No parking near is the only drawback.

New contemporary design in the heart of the action. Very large and welcoming room I’d highly recommend.

I kind of hate sharing how great this place is. I’d really rather keep it a secret, so that it doesn’t become loved to death.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at Jefferson room for two nights. Although this room is facing the busy Main Street, we slept soundly and did not hear anything. We were impressed with the roominess of our room. The bathroom was also spacious. I would recommend putting a bar to hang on to when showering for safety. We love the comfort and convenience of this hotel. It is walkable to restaurants and Watkins Glen State Park.
Gloria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the Benjamin for 3 nights and loved it. The room was so attractive, well-planned and spotless. Others have mentioned the parking challenges, so I won’t repeat that concern. However, I cannot believe that no one has mentioned the empty cupboards in the kitchen. There are no dishes of any kind, no plates, no bowls, no mugs, and no utensils at all. If you stay here, you should know this.
Joan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We usually stay at a nice B and B outside of town for about the same price. This time, I thought we would stay in town so we could walk to restaurants and not worry about driving, especially after a few wine tours. That was a great decision. Okay, the on-street/municipal parking lot (very close) might discourage some, but if your focus is only on convenient parking go to a standard motel/hotel. This place is truly unique and the parking is very close. We loved the spacious room. Love the brick. The bathroom was very cool. Nicely done. Exceptionally clean. Great location. It was a very good decision to stay in town, and at this hotel. Way more fun. We also enjoyed the wine bar downstairs. I would give you 5 Stars. Thanks so much for a great stay. Pat O'Hara

The Benjamin Hotel was absolutely perfect! This is a new hotel so it’s currently a hidden gem. Once more people find out about this place, it will be nearly impossible to book a room. There are only 4 rooms and each one has its own design. We stayed in the Watkins room and it was incredible. It should be known that there is no actual staff. You have a pin to get into your room. It’s really an awesome idea. The rooms are brand new and extremely clean and over the top. The bathroom is huge with a dual shower head shower. The room is extremely spacious with the most comfortable bed ever. Everything in the room is brand new and top notch. Of all the hotels we have ever stayed in, this was definitely the nicest. We can’t recommend this place enough. The only small downfall is there is only currently street parking, but it was perfectly fine. We did speak with some people who said they are working on finding a better parking spot. This hotel was worth every penny!!

Nice boutique hotel

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!
