A great "home away"
We stayed at The Benjamin for 2 days while I had knee surgery at Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC, rather than drive back and forth from our home in Connecticut. And we have nothing but great things to say: clean, lovely, comfortable room with a darling kitchenette that had a full-size fridge with a big freezer that I could keep all the ice bags for my knee. The staff is terrific, polite and very helpful. The hotel is near everything including subway stop, parking lot and plenty of places to eat, as well as their own fabulous restaurant. 
If you live outside New York and need to come in for a day or for a week - after having stayed at dozens of hotels over the years, this is where we'll be from now on!! Chris O'Keefe
