We like older places. So this is good.
Because it is connected to a restaurant/bar I thought there might be coffee and food in the morning. There is not.
Cute little plant store near it.

I attended a memorial service here and it was lovely. The hotel is very quaint, old, but charming. I did not stay at the hotel overnight. The food they provided was very good; salmon, chicken, mashed potatoes, and veggies. It was buffet style. The staff were friendly and the outside patio area was very nice. There was sidewalk sitting as well as an old style saloon bar area and there was a good amount of business. The other items I saw being served looked good. The location is great, near the water and lots of cute shops. I would certainly consider staying here some time.

Benecia is a destination itself. Make this your place to stay, eat and drink. Great staff. Great food. Great spot. Owner and his daughter are super nice. We will come back again and again and again.

(Our room) Great view. Vintage in a good way. Love it here!
