The Inn at Benicia Bay — Hotel in Benicia

Tracee, Dennis and their staff were amazing in every way at making our daughter’s vision for her wedding a reality. The Inn at Benicia Bay was the perfect location for her wedding venue. The ceremony was held in the open courtyard under the arbor, followed by cocktails/appetizers in the cafe during wedding party photos, then dinner was served with toasts to the bride and groom on the cafe side, then back to the courtyard to end the event with dancing. ||What a gorgeous venue! It was the perfect size to accommodate ~100 people! The weather was beautiful, so we were able to avoid tents. Tracee and Dennis kindly strung their patio lights for the event and allowed us to gently wrap posts and shrubs with temporary solar fairy lights and pergola drapes for a romantic vibe. Linens, flowers, table lamps, signage painted/printed by the mother of the bride, a Photo Booth gazebo and a DJ completed the look for the happy couple. Tracee and Dennis made sure every detail was perfect. ||Chef Kyle and his staff fully catered the event with a delicious menu that met all dietary needs. They even served personally painted/printed labeled bottles of wine.||The rooms were beautiful! The bride and groom strategically planned which family/friends stayed at The Inn versus nearby accommodations. Key rooms were used the day of the wedding for the groom/groomsmen and bride/bridesmaids to get ready/take photos and coordinate walking order for the ceremony. Professional photos will follow later, but we couldn’t have been happier with The Inn and its owners and staff, who are now dear friends and our neighbors in lovely Benicia!||Thank you Tracee, Dennis, Kyle and team for all you did to make this event everything the bride and groom envisioned! A perfect venue, location, meal and staff for a wedding or any special event, or just a...

Stayed at this charming inn for a weekend family celebration. I am over 70 years old, and I was asked very discreetly if I needed a ground-floor room. (This is a converted Victorian home and there is no elevator.) I stayed in the Celia's Garden room upstairs; check it out. Each room has a lot of character. (Other family members stayed here and I got to see their room as well.) We had a banquet meal in the courtyard below and it was intimate and homey. My room had a huge bed made up with a lovely quilt, and the bathroom had a jacuzzi tub as well as the shower. Everything was immaculate. A small refrigerator/freezer, complimentary coffee, tea, 2 bottles of water a corkscrew and stemmed glasses were provided. The wine glasses contained chocolates. There were connections for charging devices on both sides of the bed. There was a writing desk and a large armoire--many non-boutique hotel conveniences. There is a café, a library-type area and you are issued a key to come and go as you please to access the area for water, etc. There is no staff on site after a certain time, but the owner lives quite close in case of emergency. A breakfast is included with your room stay, and we're not talkin' crock-pot oatmeal, here. I had avocado toast (very generous portion, sprinkled with cheese) and I paid extra to add 2 scrambled eggs. It's real food and the café is open to the public. I had a lovely latte made with artisan precision just the way I liked it. The only criticism I would have (and it is quite minor) is that the wifi is not very strong and tended to cut in and out. But I doubt that anyone wants to stay here for business meetings--it's more of a honeymoon get-away or spa weekend. I really...
