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!

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.
