The rooms are absolutely gorgeous and are right in the smack middle of downtown, however, they fail to mention that on top of the cost of the hotel you have to put down a $150 holding fee in case there are any damages. This is a huge inconvenience for more of the younger crowd who simply go with just enough... more

The Keating has a great location, nice staff and our hotel suite had plenty of room to move around. We had a great stroll in the Gas Lamp District, wonderful dinner at Kroces and settle in to watch a PPV movie and enjoy a glass of wine. At 10 PM a band at a nightclub, below our room begin to... more

I recently stayed at the Keating Hotel and it was amazing. There rooms are incredible. Great style and flash. Hi-tech and brand new entertainment and appliances. The service was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and professional. No issues at all...they must have new staff because I didnt have any complaints. The rooms were clean and their turndown service was... more

My husband and I decided to take the kids for a fun getaway downtown. We decided on the Keating because of the location and cool design. Our son loves racecars so this place was a dream. Each floor has a replica Ferrari in the hallway. The bathtub is even the same design as a Ferrari's rearview mirror. We spent the... more

This place is all appearance and no substance. Good to take picture for a designer magazine but nothing else. And a bad concept of design, in fact, which no thought given to the purpose and the positioning of the furniture. The end result is an uncorfortable room. The staff seems to have little idea of what their job is about.... more

Do not get the "prepaid rate". I did that on the Internet and when I cancelled my reservation I was not told I would not receive a refund. If I had known that I would have rescheduled. Staff are young and uninformed. Ambiguious Internet information....one page says "prepaid" and the next says "no penality for 72 cancellation notice". Total rip... more

Our stay at The Keating last weekend was Great! The service was amazing and fast. Anything we asked for came up to our room within minutes. Very exceptional design and clean. LOVED the turn down service with italian cookies. Location was fabulous, close to shopping, dining and partying. Their lounge was great for an after dinner drink with friends. The... more

Awful, rude service - small uncomfortable rooms - this nonsense about "modern open design" just means your bed is in your bathroom! The location seems great - but the Gaslamp district is unbelievably noisy all night - with loud garbage trucks in the wee hours - every morning. Also more expensive than a luxury hotel in New York! Unreal prices!... more

My husband and I wanted a reomantic getaway and chose The Keating. Boy, were we happy with our decision! Our stay was exceptional. The location couldn't be any better - a block in any direction to Horton Plaza, great bars and restaurants, etc. We were right in the middle of the Gaslamp. The staff was very professional and friendly. The... more

Our stay at the Keating was awful. They moved us from the first room because we found cockroaches in the alarm clock, of all places. The second room was bug free, but there were still problems. Our room key didn't work 80% of the time and there is only one elevator, so going up and down four flights of stairs... more
