The sweetest hotel

It’s was such a beautiful room with a gorgeous view of the bay. The only issue we had was the kitchen exhaust fan ran until 11pm and vibrates the whole wall, bed, and floor. The minute it shuts off it’s silent. Also no continental breakfast, no one was in the lobby when we left at 7:30…but there’s a great coffee shop across the street.

This is an historical hotel in use since the 1late 800's. Very quaint period furnishings. Antique furniture throughout with the exception of the flat screen TV and in suite Jacuzzi tub. Very comfortable with nice product in the bath. EXCELLENT restaurant/bar on the 1st floor. The only thing we missed this time was a ghostly encounter!!!!

I liked the antique vibe of the hotel, however I feel there are small details that can be improved on. We stayed in the Victorians room. The few hangers provided were old wire hangers that were bent. The small drawer in the bathroom had holes in it. The room was advertised with breakfast and there was no breakfast available. However, the bed was comfortable and the room size was bigger than average. The vanity was big enough to setup my workspace. The neighborhood had plenty of walkable shops and restaurants which was nice.

What happened to breakfast?

This hotel has a great location, easy to get around the town center, bars and restaurants. Unfortunately the breakfast has taken a significant step in the wrong direction which was very disappointing.

Great Old Hotel

Great old hotel. Staff was great articulating instructions for late check in. Room was great with amazing night view of the bay. Only issue is that shower. Above the jacuzzi tub and fit for anyone under 5.5 feet tall. Being 6’3, it was difficult to shower. Very odd set up, but I get the age of the hotel and what not. Overall a great stay at the end of a great weekend

Lovely quaint hotel close to the water on a very nice street filled with small outdoor cafes and antique shops. The hotel is a historic landmark, so don't expect sleek and modern. The rooms are decorated with antiques with adds to the charm of the hotel. My only concern was the very low water pressure in the bathroom sink, however the shower was okay. The TV was very small, but we didn't mind as the atmosphere makes up for it. We will be back!

We've been here before and love it. It's like a step into a long lost era. Our only disappointment was that they changed our favorite room. The new paint is nice, but we missed the pictures of "George and Emily". They were the ghosts that made their presence known to us twice before. We missed wondering if they would be there or not... Now we don't know if they were associated with the building, room or the pictures themselves. All we know is that there were no more unexplained noises at night.

I have always wanted to check out this hotel, in the heart of my hometown, so I was excited to stay. The hotel was run down but quaint, room was large, and had a great streetside view, so I tried to look over issues I saw, (elevator that was very old, did not stop at the floor when the door opened, and was a tripping hazard, no access if you were in a wheel chair, entrance was steps only, no ramp, room fixtures where very old, no working clock or phone, sink fixtures leaked, and hot water was not adequately warm enough or had enough to complete a short shower, continental breakfast was very meager, nothing hot was served, lots of processed foods, very little fresh items offered, and coffee was worse than a 711 brew despite being attached to a restaurant and coffee shops close by to supply, AC very meager, room was cold) But what I had real issues was at 230Am on the morning of my last night at the hotel the building fire alarm was set off. We had to evacuate the building and no hotel staff where available to take charge. I had to direct the fireman who came to the fire alarm box and let them into the building. It turns out they had a faulty alarm node in the restaurant attached, but by the time I was able to get into my room it was after 4am which runed my early start for the next day. I inquired on compensation, and a thank you for my services and nothing. I would NOT recommend this establishment, too old, faulty and customer service Missing in action. dangerous!

I would rather pay more to get more

I do not recommend the Union Hotel in Benicia California, but I do recommend Benicia, which is a gem. The Union Hotel was built in 1852 and is now a neglected relic. There are warnings about using the elevator. The desk staff seem to have no pride in their work. The “free continental breakfast“ is a joke. The bed was very comfortable, and the linens were very clean, but the furnishings were tattered. Next time I will pay more to get more at a different hotel. However, if you want something clean and budget friendly in a great location, the Union Hotel is tolerable.

Downtown Benicia weekend.

The hotel is like stepping back in time, some of the rooms have great views. The in site restaurant was very good and there are plenty of shopping and dining within walking distance.
