I was led to the charming little city of Benecia through an ad in Sunset Magazine and subsequently to the Union Hotel. The website makes it sound so great, and there are aspects that are nice such as the breakfast room with its stained glass windows. However, potential guests beware. While the floors and most cabinet surfaces were dusted, there... More

Stumbled upon the Union Hotel by accident, and decided to stay. On a Sunday night, we had pick of rooms. Chose one on top floor with great view of the water and bridge. Breakfast is in a lovely little room filled with stained-glass windows. It's old, it's a bit run-down with some things updated. In a word, funky, but we... More

For all of you who are looking for a place to stay, please do not be misled by the pictures on The Union Hotel's website. They are very deceiving. My husband and I wanted to get away for a few days so I spent half a day looking on-line for a nice hotel. I called The Union Hotel at the... More

We stayed at the historic,sweet little Union Hotel in Benecia last month and found it charming and affordable, with excellent food and service.

Old school rooms, quiet as could be, large room with separate sitting area, modern HVAC system, bathrooms a little dated but on the whole, a great place to stay. Great bar with Live Jazz in lobby. Benicia has a very cute down town with many places to eat drink and shop.

We decided to take a trip down memory lane for our 39th anniversary. We have stayed at the Union Hotel many times, the first time being 29 years ago for our 10th anniversary. The hotel has been under a few different ownerships, and it had always been wonderful. Not so, anymore. We stayed one night in the Coast Lotus and... More

The historic nature of the hotel and the furnishings that coordinate with this historic feeling are appealing. Unfortunately, it is on a corner above a bar so there was a lot of noise during the night. Breakfast...cooked for us individually each morning...was very nice, and the hotel is convenient to a variety of restaurants within a few blocks. The oddest... More

Mixed experience. Unlike other reviewers who complained of bad check-in service, we had a good experience with the young helpful woman who checked us in. She carefully explained everything, and emphasized the phone number to call if we had any questions or needs after the desk closed at 6 p.m. Also unlike others who reviewed, we found our room (The...
