"A lovely, quiet, well-maintained boutique hotel in a quiet setting. A pleasant main street of a few shops and restaurants just a block away. We especially enjoyed breakfasts at a local market. The hotel is well placed for enjoying the Finger Lakes area and is fairly close to both Ithaca and Watkins Glen."

I had intended on staying at the hotel down the block. But when it turned up that there were no more rooms for my dates, I picked this hotel very last minute and hoped for the best. I walked in and loved the decor and atmosphere. I learned that this hotel was recently renovated. The room was clean and staff was friendly. I didn’t expect a hot breakfast, but that was a nice and welcome treat. There was a fridge and microwave in the room. I also learned that this hotel has a laundry room. It was...

Not only was the staff very friendly, but I even got a hand-written welcome note in my room!
I chose the hotel because it was pet-friendly and did not charge extra for my dog, but I would recommend it to anyone. Nice, clean room with a coffee-maker and fridge, plus a full complimentary breakfast.
The location is on a main road with fast food restaurants, and it is about 10 minutes from Cornell.

The property was beautiful. We loved the chalet that we stayed in, super comfy bed, beautiful views, no matter which one you stay in. Staff was very kind, helping us park our trailer, and being accommodating. Would highly recommend this little secret in Watkins Glen.

The room and bathroom were huge, clean and nicely decorated. It was nice having dedicated parking too. We didn’t realize that since it was end of their season, many spots were closed or only open certain days. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay at the Benjamin!

Property is definately like no where else I have stayed. Loved the friendly staff, the lobby area and the deck area. Rooms are "dorm size" but efficient for a few nights stay!

We used this hotel for Thanksgiving overflow at our house. Our suite was spacious and mostly clean. We did find crumbs and a candy wrapper in the couch bed, but overall, nice and clean.
On Wednesday they have a light buffet available, and it was really nice. Broccoli cheddar soup with crusty bread was enjoyed by all. Salad, cheese and crackers, pita with dip, fruit and best of all, beer and wine!
Breakfast was okay and everyone found something to eat. We did miss the traditional waffles that we...

This is place is pretty new. The rooms are beautiful. The staff was very helpful and the wifi internet worked well. They include breakfast in the morning and it's a very nice meal. A lot of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, fresh cheese omlets and even a waffle maker.
For the price it can't be beat and compares well with many more expensive.
There is a Texas Roadhouse restaurant right next door!
