Great place to stay! Me and my boyfriend actually booked a second night! The room is so beautiful and the bed is super comfortable! It is in a great location! Would definitely recommend to my friends and hope to stay again soon!
We very much enjoyed our stay! The room and bathroom were very spacious, super clean and modern. Those backlighted exposed brick walls are gorgeous. The windows facing the street are beautiful, and the automatic blinds were impressive. The bed was comfy and the linens were soft. The stairs, and finding on street parking were not an issue for us, but I'm glad we knew ahead of time.
What a beautiful place. I had over the years stayed at the Harbor but the wife convinced me to step out of my comfort zone and book here.
Just the place was amazing!!
Very nice place. Would stay there again. Only negative is that you have to find your own parking and there are stairs to climb to the rooms. Otherwise the rooms are very nice, spacious, and location is great if you want to be in town!
If you’re ever going to be in the Watkins Glen/Seneca Lake area you have to stay here. Amazingly comfortable, clean and leaves you feeling like you’re at a luxurious hotel with a small town feel. Right on the Main Street of town and within walking distance to great restaurants and attractions. Love the ease of check in and getting your room assignment. Quiet and safe. Can’t wait to go back!
We stayed at Jefferson room for two nights. Although this room is facing the busy Main Street, we slept soundly and did not hear anything. We were impressed with the roominess of our room. The bathroom was also spacious. I would recommend putting a bar to hang on to when showering for safety. We love the comfort and convenience of this hotel. It is walkable to restaurants and Watkins Glen State Park.

great room..just wish they had ESPN could not watch Monday night football
It had a rustic charm. It had all the conveniences for a two night stay. I loved the decor and everything I needed to do was within walking distance. I wish they had a towel bar or hooks to hang towels near the entrance of the walk in shower. Otherwise I felt at home and comfortable.
This boutique hotel is located in central Watkins Glen steps away from a wide selection of restaurants and entertainment. Watkins Glen State Park and Seneca Harbor are an easy drive or a comfortable walk away. I stayed in the Watkins Room, which was spotless, spacious, and provided every amenity I could have asked for. The memory foam bed was wonderful. My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer.
We just got back from our stay at the Benjamin Hotel in Watkins Glen. The hotel was conveniently located right in the downtown area near all the shops and restaurants and a quick walk down to Lake Seneca. Our room was HUGE! The bathroom itself is the size of some hotel rooms. There was even a walk out to the rooftop. Parking was a breeze, especially since it was fall. The hotel is located directly above a nice bar, a wine bar and a breakfast place. We met the owner down at the wine bar and she even invited us to a private event they were holding that night. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend the Hotel Benjamin.
We stayed at the Benjamin for 3 nights and loved it. The room was so attractive, well-planned and spotless. Others have mentioned the parking challenges, so I won’t repeat that concern. However, I cannot believe that no one has mentioned the empty cupboards in the kitchen. There are no dishes of any kind, no plates, no bowls, no mugs, and no utensils at all. If you stay here, you should know this.
Hotel is right in the middle of the town. Great walking distance from everything. There is no staff. Just use the code texted to you to open the door from the street and they tell you which room is yours. Our room overlooked the street and it was a little loud from the cars but the room is really spacious and the large window shades blocks the street lights. Pretty clean and nice big bathroom and shower.
The Benjamin Hotel was absolutely perfect! This is a new hotel so it’s currently a hidden gem. Once more people find out about this place, it will be nearly impossible to book a room. There are only 4 rooms and each one has its own design. We stayed in the Watkins room and it was incredible. It should be known that there is no actual staff. You have a pin to get into your room. It’s really an awesome idea. The rooms are brand new and extremely clean and over the top. The bathroom is huge with a dual shower head shower. The room is extremely spacious with the most comfortable bed ever. Everything in the room is brand new and top notch. Of all the hotels we have ever stayed in, this was definitely the nicest. We can’t recommend this place enough. The only small downfall is there is only currently street parking, but it was perfectly fine. We did speak with some people who said they are working on finding a better parking spot. This hotel was worth every penny!!
