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.

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.

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.

Nice place. Breakfast might not happen.
Nice hotel. Front desk hours posted as 7a-10a and again 2p-5p so check in at 2 is definitely no earlier than 2. However, free breakfast didn’t happen on 7/21/24 because no one came to open up. But our room, Paradise Beach, was clean and spacious. Has a giant jacuzzi tub but we didn’t use it. AC worked great.

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).

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.

Wastewater bubbling up into bathtub!
The bathtub was filthy and I soon learned why. Wastewater bubbled up into the tub from somewhere! There were 2 enormous screws sticking out of the headboard which I almost banged my head on and the armoire was wobbly. There was no staff to help on site and no one answered the phone. I didn’t feel safe so I left and stayed at a friend’s house. I will not be back!

Clean but won’t go back
Hotel was vintage but also old in upkeep and maintenance. It was very clean but very old. Descriptions and pictures online weren’t overly representative of actual room. Definately need dead bolts on inside of rooms.

2/10 Poor

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!

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.

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!
