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!

Beautiful,clean modern rooms. The parking was not explained well and was very inconvenient. We got a parking ticket for parking on the street which is what we we instructed to do. The entry is vey steep and would be a challenge for anyone carrying a suitcase

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.

I booked a night at this hotel as my wife and I were driving back from Canada. We hadn't previously planned on staying in Watkins Glen but thought it would be a nice break in the trip. After reading the reviews I booked The Benjamin and it didn't disappoint. It was a well maintained boutique hotel and nicely centralized for everything in the area. We're hoping to spend more time in Watkins Glen in the future and we'll definitely be staying here.
