I didn't like the scaffolding. I didn't like the rude and unhelpful women at the front desk, especially the blonde one. The maid service was exemplary. For the amount of money that we paid for our room, I was completely furious that our view!was a brick wall. You coukd have done lot better.

Deborah United States of America

Got upgraded to a king suite which was terrific in size and view. Bed was comfortable, and extra sitting room and kitchen were really nice to have.

Ericy68 United States of America

Loved our room, very helpful staff! Will definitely stay with The Benjamin when we’re in NYC again.

John United States of America

The location was perfect for my work trip. It's definitely a business related area and quiet at night but walking distance to many attractions. There are many food options near by. The doormen were very kind, front desk was hit or miss. My room was big with refrigerator and microwave. The bed was comfortable and shower hot. No street noise.

Sarah United States of America

It’s a bit of a mess with all the construction, but it was fine

Valdez United States of America

It is a great location. They allowed me to check in early.

Ed-maggie United States of America

Great location - very nice and gracious old school hotel

Don United States of America

The suite was a great size for a family of 3; plenty of space to move about. The “kitchen area” was handy for keeping leftovers and having snacks in the room.

Nicola United States of America

We had a one bedroom suite because we had our grand daughters with us. It had a small kitchen, so that sink was also used to brushing teeth, etc. kitchen only had service for two, and only plates, coffees cups and silverware. It worked well for us.

Nate United States of America

Fantastic location and the room was nice and clean. Great restaurants in the area and the doormen were amazing!
