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 :)

Great central location for taking in Watkins Glen
Central location easy to walk the Main Street shops. The room was modern and beautiful with double vanity, huge walking shower and standing tub. King bed, full size fridge. Glassware, dishes and microwave. There is no assigned parking which wasn’t a problem in December but may be in a busier season( I knew this in advance). Great access to the Seneca Wine Trail. Super quiet building with only 3 other rooms. We would recommend it and would stay again. However I would worry about parking in a busy summer season.

Loved it!
The room was amazing and spotless. Very comfortable bedding, huge bathroom with tub and separate walk in shower, kitchen had fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The location was great. Close to restaurants and right above a wine bar that hosted wine tasting the night we were there. The only minor issue was with a key code for check in but hosts were at the wine bar and helped us with the check in so it wasn’t really a problem. They were very helpful. I would stay there again and again. It was lovely. Thank you

Nice place
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!

The bed was very comfortable but was way to tall to get in and out of. Pillows were way to big and oversized..

Amazing stay!!!
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 usually stay at a nice B and B outside of town for about the same price. This time, I thought we would stay in town so we could walk to restaurants and not worry about driving, especially after a few wine tours. That was a great decision. Okay, the on-street/municipal parking lot (very close) might discourage some, but if your focus is only on convenient parking go to a standard motel/hotel. This place is truly unique and the parking is very close. We loved the spacious room. Love the brick. The bathroom was very cool. Nicely done. Exceptionally clean. Great location. It was a very good decision to stay in town, and at this hotel. Way more fun. We also enjoyed the wine bar downstairs. I would give you 5 Stars. Thanks so much for a great stay. Pat O'Hara

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.

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!!

Benjamin Hotel was a great quaint hotel to stay at during our Watkins Glen stay. It is located on the Main Street of town allowing for walking distance restaurants, visitor center and Seneca lake. The hotel is more of a studio apartment allowing for a large space to accommodate your belongings. Since this is not your typical hotel there is no front desk but we received further information via text and when I called to refill towels and toiletries the staff responded immediately and provided all items requested. One item to note is that there’s a back door to the room that lead to the back side of the house. We stayed in the Watkins room and it made me a bit uneasy but the police department is right next door which helped ease my mind. One final note is there was not housekeeping so it’s up to you to keep the room cleanly but if we called to request service it may have been provided. Overall great stay for a new hotel that opened less than a month ago!

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.
