The staff was so helpful, from the front desk, to the concierges, and especially the doorman Mohammed! The rooms in this boutique hotel were very spacious and clean, the bedding was upscale and comfy. The location is perfect as... More

“Oh, Benjamin Hotel, you make me crazy!”

Reviewed May 13, 2013

The Benjamin Hotel, where I've stayed many times, drives me nuts with its inconsistency. While the rooms are spacious and have the convenience of kitchenettes, they are showing wear and tear. On this recent trip, I was given an upgrade (using eStandby, a fairly new feature on the hotel's online booking site). For $20/night, I would be upgraded to a... More
