The location was great and the room was small but very cute. Everything was great during our stay, but after checking out they continued to charge my credit card on file with no explanation or record of what the charges were! They tried to up charge us almost $300!!!

I was in town for the Rock N Roll marathon and when I arrived the staff inquired about my stay. When the front desk person found out that I was going to be up early, he insisted on moving me to a quieter side of the hotel, which I thought was really nice. While the hotel does have a reputation... More

This hotel is in a class all its own. It is stylish, it is posh, it is in the best location of the Gaslamp Quarter (one block from the mall, less than two blocks from clothing boutiques, and completely surrounded by pubs & restaurants), and it even included free valet parking. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the rooms... More

Just came back from a weekend visit to Gaslamp for the CMR run at Petco. Location was perfect as everything was in walking distance. Gaslamp itself is loud & crazy so I anticipated to hear plenty in my room. To my surprise noise was not an issue, I stayed in the PH room and had no problem getting sleep. I... More

the sink pluming leaves something to be desired. The staff and Blues right next store was amazing.Can't wait to go again I hope I can still get the same discount. You have to shop around for parking. My friend took a nap and I felt safe going out alone! Great time. The rainforest shower was great Ruth Marks

My husband and I chose this hotel because of it's location and because of the history of the building. We were very disappointed with the condition of the room. After visiting Europe and Miami we knew what the designer was trying to accomplish but it would seem that after spending all of his money on sound systems and tv's, there... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in early May, in the middle of a 5 week holiday travelling up the west coast of USA, and we enjoyed every minute.

My daughter and I stayed at the Keating--we booked it through Hotwire. We hated the ambiance--the artwork in the lobby of nude women--red/dark hallways--condom kits in bedroom--see through showers. It was also VERY noisy so we had to use ear plugs. The staff was friendly--if there had not been a bar in the basement with a picture of a pole... More

I stayed at the Keating May 18th-19th. I loved the location and style of the hotel. My overall experience was positive. My main complaint was that I stayed in the Fresca spa suite to have the in room jacuzzi for my anniversary. Well it would have been nice for the jacuzzi to work properly. None of the side jets worked.... More

Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that the Jacuzzi was not fully functioning during your stay. Prior to the arrival of each guest, we test and inspect all features to ensure these types of problems do not occur. Unfortunately, the only way to test these Jacuzzi jets is by filling the tub completely. We do complete regular... More
