Liked: Cleanliness

We had a fun time at Union Hotel- our room was huge and had an outstanding view. It was a bit dated. The jacuzzi tubs did not work, and there was a really loud vibration in one wall that we thought might come from the restaurant below, but it stopped at 10pm! Staff was so nice and location was great.

Old Charm

It is a charming place to stay, we had a gorgeous view. The plumbing is old so don’t expect luxury there. Hotel probably needs to replace mattresses as they are bent in the middle.

Antique Furnishings in the Middle of Downtown!

This quaint hotel was cheap and in a great location. The furnishings were so cute and the bed was super comfortable. I loved the old school feel of it. The food downstairs was great too!

Property is older and perfection is not expected however, we enjoyed our stay very much. Perfect location. In the middle of everything and that’s what we wanted. The air conditioner provided a muffle from any noise from the hustle and bustle of First Street activity. Definitely would stay again. In fact, we’ve stayed here multiple times and have never been disappointed.

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.

The only issue was with parking the first night. The Union is a building over 100 years old but it is charming in its own way. Clean rooms. Comfortable bed, The Breakfast is very limited.

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.

Street parking only: so park where you can find a spot. Comfortable, old-time atmosphere. (a step into the past) Antique furnishings - but with electricity and a jacuzzie tub. Want ice for your ice bucket, go to the bartender in the bar that is part of the property. Elevator - 3 floors View is Main Street or the adjacent one-block long side street. I don't know about a view from any of the other rooms. Only staffed part-time, but the lady was very nice. Attached restaurant looked very nice. I did not eat there because I was gone most of the time. Locked entry door: so very secure (safe). Bed was very comfortable. I could hear the people walking by on the street, but it was not loud enough to be a problem for me. I would stay there again.

5 Nights at the Union Hotel

My stay at the Union Hotel was ok. The building is older and quaint. I stayed in the room named "Stickseed". Single king size bed. The NEGATIVE: I wasn't a fan of the bed as it "creaked" whenever I moved on it which was no fun, also, the mattress was very high (maybe I am too short) so it took a lot of effort to jump up onto the bed. Mattress was nothing special. The bathroom was ok, small, quaint, but the tub (also a spa tub) dripped water on the floor. The tub wasn't level so water would collect on it and would make its way down to the floor, so I had to be aware of that and put towels to stop the water from dripping onto the floor. The Union Hotel does not h ave its own parking spaces, so you need to park on the street which was safe, but there was limited parking and you would have to hunt for parking. The POSITIVE: The Hotel is located right in downtown Benicia which was within easy walking distance of Restaurants, shops, etc and near the water/ocean. On the last day there, they had a "Foodie Festival" in downtown Benicia which was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and nice, although they are only there certain hours of the day (not 24 hrs).

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!
