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.

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.
