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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

The view from my window was so relaxing and beautiful, as it moved from daylight, to twilight, to sunset, to awakening to twinkling lights along the opposite shores.

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!

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.

Quaint
It was a very cute historic hotel on a lovely street with lots of shops and dining. We enjoyed our one night stay. There was a car show the morning we checked out so got woken up a little early with the cars coming in, but it was nice to walk down the street and look at the cars. The hotel was clean and quaint. I love staying in places like this.

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.

This 1850's era hotel is charming and completely functional. The bar and restaurant downstairs is convenient and helpful. Staff were all friendly and helpful, and the breakfast had really nice pastries. My terrier gives it four paws up!

Classic Unique B+B feel at a low price
Great location in Benecia. Close to everything. Nice ocean breeze with the windows open. Classic bar and restaurant. comfortable clean room. Compared to the chain hotels this hotel is so unique and original! So much character! This hotel has been in business since the 1880's!

Meeting old Friends
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.
