Union Hotel

The location was perfect for my needs. Staff was helpful. Room was lovely and clean. I hope to go and stay again.

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.

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).

Anything

My room was dinghy. Bath didn’t work. Other rooms looked nicer and they were cheaper.

Location

The cleaning fluid they use is so very strong it messed up my sinuses and made it difficult to sleep even with windows open. One window did not have a screen so couldn’t open.

Amazing location and staff.

As it is older you can hear everything from the room next door. As there was a wedding that night there was music outside until 9p. But none of that detracts from the property.

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

Great location! Very comfortable bed, spacious room and bathroom. Clean. Loved the charm!

The breakfast could be improved. We did not want to eat any of the "sugar treats" provided. Our room was overlooking the back of the hotel - not the best view, to say the least.
