Disappointed
First time at the Benjamin for many years. Was told that it had been refurbished so I was looking forward to it. The door to the bedroom and the bathroom door had huge chunks of the wood banged off. Probably because they did not plan the layout properly. Unacceptable at $800 at any rate. Also no room service. Also unacceptable! Coffee for the Keurig was substandard. Beds were just ok. I’ll go back to the Kimberly next time.

It was ok - but not sure worth the money
Pros: Very easy check in. Lovely staff throughout. Very comfortable bed. Great location. Nice hot water in the shower. Cons: Odd bathroom set up - the toilet paper sits on your lap as using the toilet. The seat lid doesnt go up all the way due to the counter being in way. The lights are on a timer so they dont stay on when you want them to. The shower was very small and the curtain touched you the whole time. The extra roll of toilet paper was gross - thenkfully I didn't need it. I also think there was mold on one of the tiles. My collegues had much nicer rooms with no complaints. Maybe it was just this one. I would probably stay again, because the positives outweighed the cons.

Short stay, but sweet trip!
Our trip was short, but this stay made it amazing!!! The king suite is very spacious for NY. Pull out sofa was comfortable (according to my nephew). The design updates are chic, and the location is central to almost everything. We’ll definitely be back! Bonus: Subway right on the corner and a premium pastry shop about two blocks away. Lovely.

2/10 Poor

Unwelcoming Experience Overshadowed My Stay
I recently stayed at [Hotel Name], and from the very start, my experience was uncomfortable. When I arrived, the front desk staff, Vanessa, asked, "Which guest are you here to visit?"—despite the fact that I was a guest with a reservation. It was a demeaning and demoralizing question, making me feel unwelcome from the moment I stepped into the hotel. Throughout my stay, I couldn't shake that initial uncomfortable feeling, which impacted my ability to enjoy my time at the hotel. The room itself was clean, but the view was of nearby apartment buildings, which didn't add much to the experience. There was also no guide for the TV channels in the room, so I had no idea what was available. To make things worse, when I tried to watch a movie on demand, the system didn’t work. Although a tech came to assist, his efforts were unsuccessful, leaving me without that option. Overall, despite the cleanliness of the room, the poor customer service and technical issues left me feeling uncomfortable and unsatisfied throughout my stay. I hope the hotel addresses these issues for future guests.

I was not sure how the hotel would be. The staff were very inviting and kind. We had a room on the 11th floor corner. It was a comfortable room with a kitchen area that had a good size refrigerator that could fit a large pizza box. The rate seemed ok considering it was midtown Manhattan. The location was very convenient to the subway, pharmacy and food courts.
