The Benjamin Hotel was one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. It’s an unmanned boutique hotel, and the process was seamless—they text you a door code, which made check-in incredibly easy. There are only about four rooms, located in a beautifully renovated space above shops in downtown Watkins Glen.
Our room was spacious and thoughtfully designed, with a lovely kitchenette featuring a full-size refrigerator, the largest bathroom I’ve ever seen in a hotel, and a large enclosed (unheated) balcony room that added so much extra space, although it was winter when we went so if we didn’t use it.
The bathroom was truly luxurious: a double-headed shower on one end and a full-size bathtub on the other, complete with complimentary bath bombs—a wonderful touch.
In addition to the usual complimentary tea and coffee, they also provided a Nespresso machine and free snacks, which felt generous and welcoming.
