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!

This was like an apartment. It had everything you need yo enjoy your stay! The mini kitchen was great and well stocked. The bathroom was so big! The bed was comfortable and the owners were just downstairs if you needed anything. I ended up forgetting my book there after we checked out. The owners repsonded right away and i was able to get in quickly to retrieve it. I would stay there again and have recommended it to others! Great location too!

Wonderful experience at the Benjamin Hotel. Spacious, comfortable room with great amenities. It was conveniently located in downtown Watkins Glen and while there is no parking onsite, it was never an issue to find easy street parking nearby. Will definitely stay again!

A divine place to stay

Beautiful hotel room. It reminded me of staying in SoHo in NYC, and conveniently located in proximity to some of the best wineries in NYS. The modern amenities in the bathroom were a treat, and I enjoyed a relaxing bath with the peppermint bath bomb provided. A divine place to stay :)
