My wife and I loved our stay at The Benjamin Hotel. We had been looking for hotels, AirBnBs, traditional bed and breakfasts and other options, and stumbled across The Benjamin at the last second. We are very happy we did! Our room was beautiful, everything was provided, and Jeff went above and beyond communicating with us to make sure we had any questions answered. Getting into the room was easy, yet also felt secure. Would definitely stay again, and would highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Benjamin Hotel. It was perfect for our relaxing, romantic, get-away vacation. This classy boutique hotel has wonderful charm and a fantastic location. Our room was incredibly spacious, clean and provided the most comfortable bed you can imagine. The kitchenette was a nice amentity which we utilized. But, there were great restaurants all within a short walking distance. We will definitely be back and will recommend it to our friends.

Industrial chic boutique hotel in the center of Watkins Glen. Within walking distance to both Watkins Glen State Park to hike the famous gorge, and equally as fun to explore Seneca Lake. My host, Jeff, was always available to answer and questions and provided suggestions on local attractions, restaurants and wineries. So looking forward to next year! Thank you for making my trip so memorable.
