"I live across the bay in San Francisco and felt that I needed to explore Oakland. I chose the Kissel as I am a loyal Hyatt customer and the location near Lake Merritt seemed ideal. The property is fairly new and seemed updated and fresh. It’s only a 10 minute walk from the 19th St BART station and at least during daylight hours it seemed perfectly safe to walk this Main Street. Bed was comfortable and I really liked the plush pillows. Also nice scented amenities in the bathroom.. I did not dine at the hotel as there are many restaurants close by. I did have a nightcap at the bar and the bartender was welcoming and friendly. Overall I recommend this hotel to anyone."
"Great location, modern vibe hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable beds. Our room was quiet and liked the convenience of the restaurant and bar."
"Excellent rooms and facilities. Very comfortable stay with solid service. The Otto restaurant was solid but was missing quite a few items on their menu in terms of drinks and food but otherwise the food was above average. Staff were helpful and the snack and drink shop was well stocked. Beds were comfortable and shower was excellent. Location was also in a great area in Oakland with lots of food and drink options close by as well as being close walk to my office. Definitely would stay here again."
"Excellent staff and service. Nice Hotel well maintained. We enjoyed the restaurant for lunch and breakfast, and would certainly return again"
