Dirty Clipped Toenails on the Carpet
We checked in to our 1-bedroom suite and our 16-month-old daughter discovered dirty, clipped toenails all over the carpet in the main living room left by the previous guest. Obviously the room was never vacuumed between the previous guest’s checkout and our family’s check-in. We had pre-paid for a 5-night stay - paying approximately $630 per night. Despite the fact that our planned 5-night reservation was non-refundable, we checked out the very next morning and moved across town to a clean hotel. When I explained why we were checking out after being at The Benjamin less than 16 hours, the Benjamin representative offered no apologies - instead he just replied “Okay.” I also requested a call from the property manager to discuss the matter. To date, I have yet to receive a courtesy call from management at The Benjamin as requested. It seems quite obvious that room cleanliness and guest satisfaction are not concerns shared by either Benjamin Hotel staff or management. I will never be staying at another Royal Sonesta property in the future and I certainly plan to share my horrible Benjamin Hotel experience with anyone I know traveling to NYC to make sure they choose a different hotel. There are far too many other good hotel choices in NYC to waste your money at this hostel.
