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

Kitchen well equipped, plenty of glassware, free snack bar and water. Property located on a main thoroughfare that had constant tractor trailer traffic throughout the day and night. Unbelievably noisy

Nice boutique hotel

Surprisingly new, modern, aesthetically pleasing , very roomy and clean small boutique hotel in the heart of Watkins Glen. The bathrooms are spacey with high ceilings and great shower! The bed is comfortable. You have a full kitchenette and the owners also own a winery and a small bar downstairs and welcome you with a complimentary bottle of Riesling!

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.
