The Benjamin Hotel was one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. It’s an unmanned boutique hotel, and the process was seamless—they text you a door code, which made check-in incredibly easy. There are only about four rooms, located in a beautifully renovated space above shops in downtown Watkins Glen. Our room was spacious and thoughtfully designed, with a lovely kitchenette featuring a full-size refrigerator, the largest bathroom I’ve ever seen in a hotel, and a large enclosed (unheated) balcony room that added so much extra space, although it was winter when we went so if we didn’t use it. The bathroom was truly luxurious: a double-headed shower on one end and a full-size bathtub on the other, complete with complimentary bath bombs—a wonderful touch. In addition to the usual complimentary tea and coffee, they also provided a Nespresso machine and free snacks, which felt generous and welcoming.

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.

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
