San Pablo Vacations from ￥206,448

We stayed 5 nights 7/16-7/21 for Mosswood Meltdown and seeing friends in the Bay Area. Superb location for the shows. Had a terrace room where chair cushions were dirty and unappealing. That was disappointing. Grab and go snacks in the lobby were great for late nights. ALL the staff, meaning valet, front door, housekeeping, and front desk were friendly and kind. The housekeeper for 3rd floor was excellent, the best of the best. She was more than kind and accommodating when we asked for housekeeping late in the day on Sunday after the World Cup finals, which we watched comfortably in our room. Wish I’d gotten her name as she deserves the highest praise. Very grateful for her service and for Bethany at the front desk. She was also an excellent host. I loved the gritty/gentry neighborhood. Go to Sweetbar bakery and Drake’s Dealership near the hotel and Tallboy and Tacos Oscar in the Temescal neighborhood. Overall, a great stay and would come back here in a second. Thank you staff at the Kissel!!

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. My room was a little warm so I asked to be moved. I was told that the AC actually turns off after no motion or activity in the room. Not sure how true that is. But it was unusually humid and sticky in the room. I did not get a good nights rest for the three nights I was there. The property itself is a little outdated, but that I’m sure leads to the charm. I do feel like pictures online should reflect the true character of the hotel. I don’t believe there was enough picture. Had I seen more, I probably would not have chosen this hotel. Smelled a little old as well. I’m sure someone else would love it, but it was not for me.

It was an awkward entrance but once we figured out the room situation (room was delayed an hour) we fully enjoyed the room. We got a king
