The Inn at Benicia Bay, Benicia

Like everything, it was a pure delight! The location, the staff, the rooms, the Restaurant, with a wonderful wine list, the spa being right there, it can not be beat.

The room looked like a third rate tenement, with a private patio sporting a dead plant in a pot and debris in the area. The bedding was tired and worn; there was no telephone, no hair dryer, and none of the usual amenities, such as shampoo, lotions, et al one would expect. The towels were worn and the shower needed work. There was a mishmash of furniture lined up against a wall, an Ikea table and a microwave perched on top of a refrigerator, a television with limited reception perched on top of another table. There were no chairs to sit on so we took the patio furniture, blew off the leaves and used them. Each time we left the room the curtains and curtain rod fell. There was a hideous fan fixture with an eclectic assortment of lighting bulbs. Coffee is premixed, not fresh. We had one breakfast, which was pretty haphazard in presentation. This could be a charming and delightful facility; the bones are there, and the location is great. It needs smartening and cleaning up.

I needed a place for my father and other family to stay during thier visit for Easter. A friend suggested The Inn. I went down to check it out and a very helpful staff member gave me a tour. There is variety in the rooms from small to guite large and all felt very comfortable. My father checked in rather late on Sat. and found the smoke alarm battery check beeping. He alerted staff and the problem was quickly solved. My entire family commented on the breakfast and the kindness of staff. Overall this was a very good experience and we will continue to use the Inn for all of our out of town guests.

Well located to get quickly to the wine country,San Francisco and the East Bay. Respectful and accomodating to the business traveler yet made to feel very at home. Location in downtown/historical area. Inn is a Victorian with 8-9 rooms. Can walk to dinner, harbor, shops and music venues. In spring/summer/fall has great farmers market with lots of live music on thursdays. Several wine bars in town for sampleing before you plan your trip to the wine country.

My Fiance & I desired to escape Silicon Valley's hustle & bustle and found exactly what we were looking for at The Inn at Benicia Bay. Pros: Cute exterior, walking distance from the main street, easy to locate and good service. Cons: Though rooms were cozy, amenities were very basic. Experienced a slight moth ball scent but overall the jacuzzi tub & private entrance made up for it.
