"Midtown Manhattan hotels are notorious for their cramped quarters, but The Benjamin bucks the trend with a spectrum of spacious rooms and suites equipped with full galley kitchens."
Frommer's
"All rooms are airy, but the deluxe studios and one-bedroom suites are extra large... If you are a light sleeper, book a room off Lexington Avenue, which can get busy most weeknights and mornings."

"In case the red coat- and top hat-wearing doormen haven't convinced you, the crackling fireplace and clubby interiors will certainly encourage you to sit and relax awhile."

"Entertainment industry folk have been flocking to the Bowery Hotel since its opening last spring. And it's no wonder... this stretch of the Lower East Side is quickly shedding its infamous grit."
Fodor's
"Gemma, the expansive and cozy Italian restaurant that's part of the hotel, completes the Bowery's insular, yet cushy vibe."
