had the pleasure of being assisted by Vanessa during my stay at Kissel Hotel and she made my experience exceptional. I had to move in and out a few times, and she was incredibly flexible, going above and beyond to arrange everything for mr and accommodate my needs, and I really appreciated her efforts. Vanessa was not only professional but also personable and funny, making me feel welcome and valued. It’s clear she truly knows how to treat customers. Thanks to her, my stay was so much smoother and enjoyable. I’ll definitely stay here again should I come to Oakland , and I hope she gets the recognition she deserves for her outstanding service.

Really nice restaurants around! And the amenities were fun, such as the pool table and board games. While I didn’t use it, the patio looked like a great place to relax and lounge. The location was also nearby the BART, so I didn’t have a problem getting here from SFO. Check-in was already really easy and they will provide you with a unique door code to your room and to access the building’s front doors, so no need to worry about misplacing your room card.

As soon as you step on to the property, it has a super welcoming and aestheticly pleasing energy. This is consistent throughout the whole property. As soon as I walked in there's is a community area with art work and trophies on display. The photography really catches your eye and gives you an authentic and aesthetic feel for oakland back in the day! I also like that this had a cumminity kitchen area which was fully furnished, and clean.ready to be used to cook. The kitchen area also has an array of different photos on display that catch your attention and will accompany you as you cook. The refrigerator and sink were clean as well. One of the best amenities that B-loves offers is the backyard and garden. This offers a whole different type of vibe and energy. Very welcoming,comforting and relaxing to just be in the backyard with the selection of plants,there's a stage/workout area,BBQ, fruit trees, and vegetables growing in the garden. Paired with that the backyard gets an amazing amount of sunlight and heat from the sun light. Enough for you to sun bathe... maybe even get a tan😁 I found myself relaxing in the backyard for hours more than my room! Overall an awesome stay. Love the host and assistant property manager. Their are positive people which reflects on the business. I would recommend. Come visit!

    Very clean room, even if the hotel building is not that modern, you can quickly tell that its management cares about guests and maintains everything very well. The location is great, easy parking on property. It's a busy area, but the motel feels safe, with video surveillance system clearly visible. The price is very competitive. We'll definitely stay there again.

    The staff was wonderful and the room was kept very clean. They were so responsive to all of our needs. The location was excellent, so close to many great restaurants, laundromats, convenience stores and it seemed like a real bargain for being in the heart of Berkeley. My husband and I would definitely stay again.
