I recently stayed at the Benjamin for a business trip to NYC. Not only was the hotel in a great location but it was very elegant yet homey. In addition to staying at the hotel, my company had booked our meetings in their banquet rooms and the Banquet Manager was extremely helpful and proficient with last minute changes. After days... more

We found a good deal @ bookings.com - fairly last minute. The one bedroom suite was spacious enough for the four of us, for our 3 day stay. Some points to note... - The access to the bathroom in the suite, whoever stays in the living room (on the sofa bed) would need to come through into the bedroom to... more

Stayed here in Sept. 2009.  I had the corner suite which had a mini sink and full size refridg and micro which is bigger than most one bedroom suites that I have stayed at. This hotel is easily compares to a Ritz or Four Seasons with similar decor.  The staff was friendly and helpful. It is not located next to time square...you... more

Looking for a short stay in central location and this fitted the bill. Located in E50th behind the Westin - friendly but not particularly forhcoming front desk. Room a fair size for NY but spoilt by an overlarge desk. Excellent bed and spotless room. Good breakfast included in our charge in a people watching position on the ground floor bar... more

I stayed here on business for two nights. I remember my bed was very comfortable with awesome pillows. The room was big by New York standards -- a queen bed, armoire, chair, desk and night stand in one room with a short hallway and bar area near the bathroom entrance. The mezzanine level above the registration is nice for meeting... more

I heard the some reviews complaint about the noise. So I called ahead and ask for a quiet room, which they did!! The room is clean and nice. The lobby is small but it's at a great location. The pillow menu isn't too impressive. My room has a very small kitchen area. Should be great for business traveler. more

Went with my wife and daughter for my wifes birthday. Accompanied by our little cocker spaniel, who was welcomed with open arms. They have one floor for folks with pooches, and the staff is great. they have doggie beds and bowls. Only problem is that New York has such little grass, we had to walk 2 blocks every time she... more

I've stayed in many hotels in New York and this hotel was by far the worst. I'm in my room right now. It's 1:59 AM and I'm listening to a humming noise that's so annoying it's hard to fathom how this hotel can pride itself on sleep. I understand that I'm in a big city and that implies noise... but... more

Dear Amherst410, My name is Andrew Labetti, the General Manager at the Benjamin. I want to apologize for the noise in your room, and most especially my team’s inhospitable manner. I assure you I am going to use your experience as a teaching tool with the team. If you are willing, I would like to discuss your experience in more...

Another couple, my spouse and I traveled to NYC for a 4 night trip this past Easter weekend. Upon arrival at the Benjamin, we were promptly and pleasantly greeted by the staff. The desk clerk provided us with an upgrade without me requesting one. Our room was very clean and we had fun with the choice (12) of pillows available!... more
