The Union Hotel is a smoke-free and pet-friendly inn. The innkeeper provides continental breakfast in the Lobby. A ramp provides access from First Street to the restaurant, Lobby, and Bar area.

“Union Hotel, established in 1852, balances its historical roots with updated comforts like in-room jacuzzi tubs. Though staffing is part-time, the secure, locked entry offers peace of mind, while the attached restaurant adds a touch of local flavor to the stay; I think that its old-time atmosphere and its position on Main Street in Benicia provides comfortable, atmospheric lodging.”
