We had an amazing stay at The Benjamin. The room was comfortable, and the property has been beautifully renovated with real attention to detail. The bathroom was spacious and spotless, and there were so many thoughtful touches that made our stay feel special. Located right in the heart of town, the location couldn’t be better. We loved it and will definitely be back.

Honestly, probably one of the cutest places I’ve ever stayed. We had a city view, the room was adorable, nice bathroom, and HUGE it’s giving apartment more than hotel. Also the staff was super accommodating which was super helpful since we traveled from NC
