Debra

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.

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.

No ghosts

I loved the room that we stayed in. The room was very clean. It would be nice if the TV was a smartTV and maybe a bit larger screen. We only stayed for one night and it was mostly to see if we experienced any paranormal activity. Sad and happy to say that we did not see any ghosts, although there were two incidents that were questionable. The bed was supper comfy! Very disappointed that they are no longer offering breakfast as stated in the website.

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!
