Yoshi showed us around when we arrived and give us a tour of the various rooms. The rooms feature wonderful Victorian pieces, my wife was in seventh heaven admiring everything! We asked if we could change rooms as the Pink Palace had better views, and Yoshi easily accommodated us - nice! A private parking lot is in the back; you don't have to park on the street. Our room was on the top floor and looked out over the Carquinez Strait. During our stay we loved watching the trains on the opposite shore, the changing tides, Egrets, Bay fog and the distant Carquinez Bridge. It was wonderful enjoying waterfront views without having to drive to the coast. The room featured three armchairs, table and chairs, nightstands with lamps, TV and mini fridge. Three complimentary water bottles were provided. Lovely art prints adorned the walls. The rooms have no air conditioning but they have portable units they can bring in on request. There was a good wind (as is often the case in Benicia) and that was sufficient on this day. The breakfast was amazing: hard boiled eggs (and an offer to make scrambled if we wanted), muffins, Bacon, cereal, rolls/pastries, bagels, cheeses, ham, milk, OJ and mango juice as options. Benicia is a quaint explore, lots of artisan shops. Look in on the One House Bakery for some delish sweets! Just a great stay, wish we could have extended. Look forward to a return visit!

The staff provided outstanding service and were extremely friendly and helpful. The room carpets could use a steam cleaning, and the beds were too soft for my sleeping preferences. The squishy pillows were a hit for me despite the slightly uncomfortable bed. The toiletry products were Dove brand items so no issues there. I loved that the lobby had chocolate chip cookies and lemonade for guest snacks. The breakfast had a wide variety of food offerings that we enjoyed. The menu items were replenished in a timely manner. The only issue we encountered was that the elevator wouldn't open when we were in the underground parking trying to return to our rooms. That was challenging since we had two family members in wheel chairs. We did flag down an employee and he helped us out by making the elevator descend down to the parking garage. Overall, I would recommend this hotel. Another plus was that the location of the hotel was near the historic district of Benecia. The town had cute older homes in the neighborhood, and it seemed like a safe area.

This location seems like a former "other" hotel from the older design. Holiday Inn Express then turn it into one of theirs. The parking is weird here, you have to use the underground parking and the spots are kinda tight. Lucky for me my friend has a handicapped parking placard that we used to get good parking. Check in was fine and I got my IHG rewards points posted. My room was fine, everything worked. Maybe not the best IHG room I've stayed but serviceable. WiFi worked as that's important when working from the room. Breakfast was the usual Holiday In Express breakfast offerings. I love those cinnamon rolls! I made a sausage patty and cheese English muffin breakfast sandwich, yeah sort of like a sausage McMuffin! Tasty! Now, I have to look for a place for dinner nearby. Maybe Chinese take out!

I called to change my reservation to a different room, and the front desk employee was supposed to cancel my original booking. Unfortunately, there was a staff change, and the cancellation was never processed. As a result, I was charged for two rooms instead of one. When I brought this to the attention of the new front desk employee, they acknowledged that the mistake was made by the hotel. Despite this admission, the owner refused to issue a refund for the additional room. What makes this particularly frustrating is that the hotel acknowledged its own error but still expected me to pay for it. I can overlook the imperfections of an aging historic inn, but I cannot overlook poor customer service and unfair business practices. Very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend staying here.

Our server was doing her best on her own for the entire establishment and we respected her situation. The Gabby's Jolt was merely strong and seemed to be missing ingredients listed on the menu. We had ordered the stuffed mushrooms appetizer which was tasty, the filet mignon entree and halibut entree ( of which we told the server we'd like to have a glass of white wine to accompany it but had to wait until the entree was nearly cold to receive it). We ate two servings of bread an do bitter while we waited for the entrees. The filet was tender and seasoned well in addition to being cooked a bit over medium, had a large portion of spinach and mashed potatoes, and came with the same red wine reduction sauce as the mushrooms which we found a bit odd. The minutely seasoned halibut has to have been the tiniest piece of fish we've ever seen served and only had six small potato quarters and like 6-7 stalks of asparagus with it. Overall, we ate everything because of the small halibut entree, but will most likely not return. I suggest the owners have more than one server on a Friday night, For everyone's sake.

Checking in was easy and the front desk staff was very friendly! We were arriving late night on Friday so I had called that day for them to leave a note on my reservation. We noticed their small store next to the front desk with food, drink, and personal care items available and thought the selection was well done (I didn't buy anything from it so cannot comment on the prices). The room was clean and tucked in the back by the parking lot. We were actually able to see both the theme park coasters and our car from our room. Score! Unfortunately, this is where they lose points for me. The options of what to watch on the TV were meh with bad channels and half of them losing signal. The Wifi was spotty and slow, but useable. The bed was soooo hard that I tossed and turned both nights and ended up with a sore back and neck. The other members of my party did too, one of which was sleeping on the sofa bed and commented it wasn't so comfortable either. This is obviously a personal preference, but it is a big deal for someone about to go enjoy the day at a theme park! The walls are thin, being able to hear people pretty clearly in their rooms as you walk through the halls ( *.* ) and when in your room, but we didn't have actual issues that stemmed from this. We ate from their breakfast spread both days we were there. They offered several juices, coffee, premade omelets, sausage rounds, potatoes, muffins, scones, bagels, toast, oatmeal, cereal with regular and almond milk, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and two waffle machines with vanilla or red velvet batter. The food was meh lacking in flavor, but it also wasn't the worst we have had so we were happy it was included in the price to stay. On a side note, Dutch Bros is a literal 1 minute walk from the entrance of the hotel! Blessedly they had a shuttle that ran all day from Six Flags to the hotel which saved us $50 in parking. We had to call when we were ready to be picked up and they were there within just a few minutes. We decided to swim and enjoy the hot tub after our day at the park. It was fairly full of people and one of the cabana mattress covers was ripped up making it unusable, but the experience was fine. There were towels available by the door and the outside pool was heated, but still cool enough for enjoyment. The hot tub helped our sore muscles, but the jets aren't really usable on your body as they are way too strong. Ultimately, if the beds were softer and the breakfast a little better we would have no hesitation returning next time we wanted to go to Six Flags. We may try another hotel next time since those are important, but we wouldn't say no to staying here again. Thanks for the friendly service and clean hotel!

The server told us they operate out of a food truck. So the menu is limited. But what they make is really good!

The actual menu in-person had a couple items that aren't on the sample menu including a couple more dessert options like fig ice cream. We really liked everything we tried! The portions were pretty good. If coming here for food I'd recommend getting here early since food trucks have limited capacity. You're welcome to stroll around the property both the flower farm and the inn side before or after your meal. The parking situation is a gravel lot. So it may not be the most handicap accessible place. We had a lot of fun stopping by Park Winters. They were setting up for a wedding so the inn side would have been closed for the event starting at 1pm. The check also came with a small map of the property for you to keep. This was very helpful in exploring the property. The only caveat is this is the countryside. Wear long pants or be prepared with insect repellent! Even at 10am in the summer my legs were bitten by mosquitoes. (Type O blood. Mosquito magnet here.) I'd like if they burned some citronella candles to help with mosquitoes. The rest of the dining venue was so thoughtfully designed including timed misters (like at theme parks) to help keep the area cool. Definitely check it out if you're curious or in the area.

I guess I should have paid more attention to the lower star reviews than those that were rated better. Don't get me wrong; the room was clean and the front desk attendant was professional.

Then between 3 and 4 AM, I was awakened to people yelling at each other outside my room. This didn't make me feel very comfortable. Furthermore, the property advertises breakfast. There was no location that would allow for a breakfast bar of any kind. I asked and was told they have "grab and go" available at the front desk. When I went to "grab" my breakfast around 7 AM, the office was all locked up and no one was there. I won't be returning to Super 8 - Martinez.
