This is the swankiest hotel I have stayed at for the price. I stayed in off-season. The bed was comfortable, the location is walkable, off street parking, the shower was excellent, good temperature control, and staff accessible via phone. Only negative is no elevator. Had to haul my luggage up a large staircase.

Vey charming hotel in the heart of town. Most restaurants are in walking distance, and so is the lake. The rooms are big and very well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. You access the hotel, and the room, with a personalized code, which allows you to be completely free. I would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat and would go there again.

This hotel is by far our favorite, we will be rebooking in the future. The location is convenient to shops and dinning. The room was so clean & inviting. We very much appreciated the small snack & water offerings, the wine glasses to use after we bought wine while going tasting in the local area. The separate shower was clean, large, great water pressure & stayed hot. We also really liked the “contactless” check in & check out. Like I said, we will absolutely be rebooking and have told many of our friends to book The Benjamin!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The room and bathroom were very spacious, super clean and modern. Those backlighted exposed brick walls are gorgeous. The windows facing the street are beautiful, and the automatic blinds were impressive. The bed was comfy and the linens were soft. The stairs, and finding on street parking were not an issue for us, but I'm glad we knew ahead of time.

Nice place

Very nice place. Would stay there again. Only negative is that you have to find your own parking and there are stairs to climb to the rooms. Otherwise the rooms are very nice, spacious, and location is great if you want to be in town!
