Overall a fine hotel, just not anything special, given the price. I stayed here for work, so was not paying, otherwise I probably would have found something less expensive that was a bit more interesting. The room was adequate in size, although the bathroom was big. I also had a small balcony (16th floor), which was nice although had cigarette... more

This hotel doesn't live up to the hype, does not deserve 4.5 stars that some of the travel sites give it, and in my opinion has deteriorated markedly over the years. What was once a stylish, high end boutique hotel I now find falling apart at the seams. The lobby area is pleasant, although upon returning back one evening at... more

I travel to NY frequently for business and stayed at the Benjamin a couple years ago and liked it - mini kitchen, spacioius room, clean, decent gym, good customer service and convenient location. My recent stay was horrible and the hotel has gone way down hill. The rooms were filthy. It was extremely loud and I was barely able to... more

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
