This is the only 5 star review I have ever given.
Since moving from NYC to NJ, my husband and I make a weekend trip to NYC once a month. The last time we stayed at the Benjamin and it was really a flawless stay. When we arrived, our room was not ready, but they were able to upgrade us to a one-bedroom suite. Generally, in NYC, one bedroom suite just means they had enough room to squeeze in a desk, a couple of chairs and a little efficiency kitchenette set. However, my first apartment in NYC was smaller than the suite at the Benjamin. It had a true living room and a separate kitchen area with everything that a longer term guest would need.
The staff is amazing. Khady checked us in and was incredibly courteous and very quick. The bellman, the doormen, the conceirage, everyone goes out of their way to help you and make sure you are happy.
The hotel is centrally located with both eastside and westside trains being easily accessible.
The Benjamin also has 24 hour room service. After a very dissapointing diner experience as another restaurant, we came back and order a burger and fries. It may have been the best burger I have ever eaten (sorry mom!).
I cannot say enough good things about this place. It is a wonderful place with wonderful staff.
