Hip, open-plan hotel in historic Gaslamp Quarter
The Keating is a small, 35-room hotel in the center of the Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego. Designed by Pininfarina (read: Ferrari and Maserati) and opened in 2007, the hotel prides itself on its unconventionality and caters to people with active lifestyles. Brick + Mortar restaurant within the property offers varieties of mouth-watering cuisine, served in a casual ambiance with nightly live DJ's. The Keating also offers meeting facilities and in-room couple's massage and aromatherapy. The property also offers complimentary entry to PCD Dollhouse.

To be YOUNG again!!!
Our four night stay at The Keating in San Diego was an experience we hope not to repeat any time soon. Now that my wife and I are in our 50's we no longer enjoy staying up all night as was required by staying in this hotel. The street parties were going pretty strong through 3:00 a.m. each night with our room right above the street. Also, I must admit when we were younger we would probably like the idea of having the four sided glass shower in the center of the room with no walls or privacy. After 30 years of marriage this feature offered in The Keating was a waste and not needed! I can only wish I were younger and single that would have allowed me to take full advantage of this unique feature offered in this hotel. The complimentary continental breakfast offered was not available two of the mornings due to the person in charge of this facility not making it to work on two of the mornings. Would recommend that your hotel find someone to back up the person in charge of this facility OR no longer offer something to your customers that you cannot deliver upon. That was the highlight of our stay at The Keating.

Very Noisy place; rude Front desk
the price was right for the GasLamp district, so i thought. there are bars on the bottom floor & all around the hotel that play right thru your hotel windows (yes, they were closed windows, too) into the early morning hours. Your bed is vibrating from the bass/music. If you need to sleep for a conference, as i did, it is not a good choice. the front desk personnel are too busy on their own cell phones & personal conversations with friends to help out. Don't even try to call down for wake up call, or questions...they never answer the phone, or it's always busy...they do personal calls on that line, too (she did tell her boyfriend she'd have to call him back when i went down to front desk personally. when i did get through to front desk & requested wake up call...i never got my wake up call...& was late to my meeting! i do not recommend this hotel for the above reasons, but it may be suitable if you're out all hours of the night, & aren't there to sleep anyhow!

Heart of the Gaslamp District
We had a great stay at the Keating. Very European in style, it is in the heart of the Gaslamp District, with lots of dining and several nightlife options nearby. We had a room in the back and experienced no noise issues. Centrally located - we walked to Petco, walked to the Bay, and took a bus (no transfers) to the Zoo. We would definitely stay again.

Great location
Keating is greatly located in the heart of the Gaslight district. Area is fantastic. kRecently remodeled in deco/european design. Not my choice but for some would be quite quaint. Did not like the concrete floors and see thru showers with no doors, very wet on floor. Beds were great and service excellent.

Very cool
The Keating is a very cool hip hotel. The room was sleek and high tech - plasma screen HDTV, Bang and Olufson phones, iPod speaker on alarm clock, remote control lights and espresso machine. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of closet space. Located in Gaslamp District close to lots of restaurants and the Horton Plaza mall. Easy walk to Petco Field and the Convention Center. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would love to go back.

Stunning
Ultra-modern, gorgeous, classy, luxuriant, and unique. Not the typical hotel experience. Extremely helpful and friendly staff - they go above and beyond. Pet friendly too.

Perfect couple getaway
Very upscale. Modern but comfortable. Service was impeccable but sedated. We were greeted and given an update for the room and our stay by the concierge for approx 15 minutes. Amazing. Location was ideal. Walking distance to everything. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a spectacular, yet relaxing stay. No pool or hot tub, but not a big deal at all. Loved it!!
