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.

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 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.

This hotel is by far our favorite, we will be rebooking in the future. The location is convenient to shops and dinning. The room was so clean & inviting. We very much appreciated the small snack & water offerings, the wine glasses to use after we bought wine while going tasting in the local area. The separate shower was clean, large, great water pressure & stayed hot. We also really liked the “contactless” check in & check out. Like I said, we will absolutely be rebooking and have told many of our friends to book The Benjamin!

Vey charming hotel in the heart of town. Most restaurants are in walking distance, and so is the lake. The rooms are big and very well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. You access the hotel, and the room, with a personalized code, which allows you to be completely free. I would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat and would go there again.

Couples lake weekend!

My husband and I, along with two other couples, stayed at the Benjamin hotel this weekend. It was absolutely gorgeous! Spacious and VERY clean rooms. The boutique style rooms were decorated perfectly and provided many more amenities and than your average hotel. Highly recommended!!!
