Location isn’t everything.”

I could have given it a higher score but The Benjamin isn’t quite finished with their renovation and so we had to use the side of the hotel which used to be the restaurant and not the main lobby. I didn’t like the part the we weren’t informed or warn about this. The staff- both the front and housekeeping were friendly and prompt, definitely five stars and the location was exceptional. I like the quality of my king size bed but the room and bath overall really needed to be updated. Four stars maybe not just yet but after the renovation is completed possibly four or even four and a half stars.

Failed to add significant other to room”

It us bad when on day of check in I gave the front desk, my credit card for incidentals as the reservation was in my name and the name of my significant other to be added to the file and the desk person promised to add her to the file so I can take the train to New Haven/. When my plus one arrived from Barcelona, her name was not in my reservation so she could not check in. Fortunately, I was able to get back from New Haven in two hours to physically be there again for the second time with my credentials to add her so her wait in the lobby was only two hours. . I’ve never had this happen before where there was such a snafu i.e Situation normal all fucked up

Excellent”

Staff are amazing and very attentive! The lobby was closed while we are there and only opened as we checked out so we didn’t get to enjoy that but looks very nice.
