Favorite Spot
Great mid-town location and the service and amenities beat the chains by a mile. There are some average rooms, but also some very nice rooms. The pillow menu is cool. The comp breakfast was first class. The only glitch was the first room they gave me had someone in it already...

Just hotel
I couldn't make the room warmer. Whenever I set the temperature warm before leaving, a maid might be reseted the temperature. And, it took so long time to increase temperature after coming.

Friendly staff, tired room.
Great location and attentive staff. Lobby and bar were nice, but my room was just a bit worn and tired. In need of a redo. Also : Locked some personal items in the safe and when I went to retrieve them it would not open. Not good as it was my work stuff inside. By the time they managed to get it open it was pretty late. I'm just glad that I didn't wait until morning to open it, as I would have been late for the job I was going to. The next morning the iron didn't work. Had to wait twenty minutes for them to bring another. Little things, but when you're on an important business trip they are not acceptable. Added stress. The room was fine, just kind of worn out. Too bad.

Awesome
The Benjamin was more than we expected. It was our first trip to NYC and we heard the rooms were small so we booked a 1 bedroom suite. The room was spacious enough for us. The staff was overly friendly but honestly I wasn't quite ready to pass tips out to absolutely everyone, all I had was $20 bills, so everyone loved me after that. Recommend getting some $5 bills prior to your arrival. My wife absolutely loved the complementary pillow bar too. Great stay, highly recommended.
