I booked this room at this price for two reasons: 1) free breakfast and 2) it stated it had a hot tub or spa. Breakfast was great, they even had an espresso type coffee maker in the lobby 😊. The room was clean and comfortable as well as the hallways and other public areas. But ….. the hot tub was another story all together. The jets did not work and the water was not clean. We notified an employee and she sent a maintenance person to check it out. When he got there he said unfortunately the jets were not working before even checking it out. Mind you I called ahead and asked if the hot tub was working and was told yes indeed it was working. He proceeded to clean the floaters from the water and check the temperature. After he left I went to check it out. It was hot, but the water was still not as clean as I would expect it to be. He cleaned out the floating bugs and leaves with a net but there were still smaller particles floating in the water that a net maybe would not capture. So that makes me think that not only were the jets not working but the filtering system was not working either. Needless to say we did not get to enjoy the hot tub. We could have stayed elsewhere for a less expensive price and not had the use of a hot tub so …..

Good breakfast, not much seating though. I like the location, not as busy and not in a bad neighborhood. No concerns for theft. Good size room and clean. Pool side of the property was a bit loud due to the onramp.

I stayed at the Best Western Plus Heritage Inn last weekend and overall had a very pleasant experience. The location is excellent — with easy access to the freeway and just a short drive to Napa Valley, it made exploring the area effortless. The property was clean, well-maintained, and the hospitality from the staff was consistently welcoming and professional. I also appreciated the convenience of free parking, which was easily accessible. Everything went smoothly during my stay, with just a couple of small inconveniences: the bathroom door made a persistent squeaking sound that couldn’t be fixed during my visit, and the mini-fridge freezer produced a bit of noise at night that disrupted my sleep slightly. However, these issues didn’t overshadow the overall comfort and value of the stay. I would definitely consider staying here again, and I recommend it to others looking for a reliable, well-located option near Napa Valley.

For the second year in a row I have stayed here on Christmas Eve to visit family for the holidays in Benicia. The staff is always so friendly, and the entire hotel is immaculate. Plenty of parking and literally a 2 minute drive to Main Street. Definitely recommend it when you're looking for a clean, friendly, convenient place to stay in Benicia.

When we entered our room a strong musty, damp smell was present. We opened the windows, but being that we were on the first floor, we couldn’t leave them open. Three hours into our stay, our air conditioning unit shorted out and wouldn’t restart. We let the front desk know and they said they were going to call a maintenance technician to come and look at the air conditioner. Maintenance never arrived, and we asked to switch to a different room. The front desk attendant agreed to allowing us to switch rooms, but only after we insisted. The hotel is aging and needs a good upgrade and deep cleaning, but the breakfast area was very nice and the grounds were well maintained.

The staff was very friendly, the room was beautiful. The issue was how loud it was. The walls must have been very thin and the place turned into a full blown party hotel on Saturday night and there were other guests who were incredibly loud in the rooms around us and outside in the halls. For this reason we will likely not stay there next time we go to town.

I didn't get his name, but a young man working on floor two outside noticed I wasn't finding my way and asked me if I needed assistance. I agreed, and he literally took control and helped me find my room work out whether it was going to work for me worked with the staff and the main desk to get me set up the room. Then we got all my bags out of my car and into the room. Made sure I was comfortable. He was very nice and helpful and professional. This was my first time traveling along with my Parkinson's disease. Was later that evening when I left my keys in the room, and he quickly politely helped me get in. I appreciate his help too. He was very kind and helpful.

Property itself is fine, and rooms are clean and acceptable for the price. Front desk service at this location could use some work. We have had the same attendant twice (two different stays) and both times this person has been rude to me and to other guests. There was no precipitating event that lead to this behavior, we merely rolled up on this person in what I assume is their natural state of annoyance with the public at large. Unacceptable.

Is what i expected from best western: room is standard. Food (breakfast) is highly processed and below average, cleaning and front desk staff excellent. The location of this particular hotel is not great. Next to a freeway, about 10-15 minute walk to downtown. The reason we stayed here is because we needed 2 queen beds in a room. Otherwise, we could have stayed downtown for same price. The inns in downtown are a bit more rustic, but the breakfast quality will be much better and you can walk outside your door to other shops and amenities.
