Under construction, so we couldn't take full advantage, but clearly a beautiful property and room was nice. Only problem is the air conditioner blowing onto the bed, making it hot and cold alternating all night, otherwise nice room with good bathroom and amenities, comfortable bed, no issues!

The room’s temperature is not well regulated. When outside temperatures drop, the automatic heating triggered inside the room makes it very stuffy. We have discussed it at length with staff and it serms that they cannot do anything about it. This defect may affect our future planned stay at The Benjamin.

This property is under construction at a state I could not believe. They should not be allowing guest in the property. It's not just like there's banging during the day. They've rerouted the entire lobby, the elevator is a full of workers covered in dust and dirt. The lobby smells of acetone and paint, it's awful. I wrote the manager and I never heard a word back.

BEWARE DO NOT STAY HERE TILL AFTER THE RENOVATION. Total chaos and totally unacceptable to remain open during this major renovation. No Services available - Single Elevator and its shared with construction workers. There is another elevator open into filthy smell stairwells. Rooms old shabby with limited resources Construction in the area [ PLAZA Hotel renovation] has trucks backing up BEEP all hours of the night and terrible noise and traffic during the day. Doormen and Bellman only interested in offering private overpriced services to airport etc - sleazy RESORT FEES Charged in a HOTEL WITH NO BAR NO ROOM SERVICE NO SERVICES

Renovations underway. My room was nice, but as you would expect other areas were not. A ridiculous fee was tacked onto the bill, adding $45 a night to the bill, and I didn’t use any facilities. Not cool, but a lot of hotels are doing it now.

Should be $100 or less a night
This hotel is old, run down, dirty, smells and loud. This room hasn’t been updated in 25+ years and smells past abundance of room fragrance. The use of old hotels in NYC to house migrants has increased room rates for all other hotels. Before the migrant hotels this would have been $100/night and still been overpriced. The staff were very very nice.

Great spot. Wait til construction is done tho
Excellent location. The 1BR suite with a roll away bed works great for a family of 3 or 4. The room was a little tired and evidently will be completely overhauled soon! Unfortunately they were mid way through a major renovation with construction all over the place. Wish I had been made aware of that.
