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. On site are the Sway Lounge, a chic nightclub with an underground NYC ambience, a spa offering Swedish stress-relief, a pizzeria, Club diVino and the MerK restaurant. The Keating also offers meeting facilities and in-room couple's massage and aromatherapy.

Close to San Diego Convention center
Good location, walking distance to the San Diego Convention Center, but depending on your room can be noisy. Modern rooms: showers are open with bathroom incorporated to the room, OK but odd specially if sharing a room. Breakfast was included but did no start unil 8am and was not able to get breakfast since I had to be at meetings at that time. Staff is helpful.

Great location for the price
The hotel is located in the heart of the San Diego Gas Light district with dining and entertainment all around. The hotel has modern amenities like an espresso machine, a top of the line TV and entertainment system by Bang & Olufsen,a "monsoon" shower, and a luxuriously comfortable bed.

Awesome Hotel in Ideal Location
I initially chose this hotel because I loved the overall design. It's different, modern, and conceptual, but still extremely comfortable. It is not a conventional hotel and therefore may not be for everyone. Personally I loved staying there and would definitely stay there again. It is right in the heart of the Gaslamp District, which is where my boyfriend and I wanted to spend the majority of our time. It did get somewhat noisy, but that's to be expected given it's location. The staff was amazing and bent over backwards to accommodate us. They were eager to give us suggestions as to where to go and help us find the most ideal route to get there. Overall, it was an awesome hotel and worth every penny. The Keating is definitely on the top of my list of places to stay the next time I go to San Diego.

Just what you need.
The Keating is located in the heart of downtown San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, walking distance from the Convention Center, the major hotels, plenty of dining and pubs and nightlife. The design of The Keating is very modern - in fact it was designed by the guys who work for Ferrari. The rooms have exactly what you need: flat screen TV with HD satellite, free wifi, a roomie shower, a warm bed and cookies when you get into bed! It's small and quaint but has a great city vibe to it. Well price as well.

Exceptional stay
I was fifteen minutes early for my stay and with a guarentee of a room by 4pm, they upgraded me to a Penthouse suite so that i would not have to wait past 4pm. Incredible customer service.

Night was ok...
This hotel was...ok...I was expecting the hotel to be nicer, but I guess I shouldn't expect a whole lot for the amount...$175/night. There's no shower doors, you can clearly hear transportation (buses, train, and any ambulances). There isn't a place to eat breakfast, as the hotel's restaurant does not open till 5 pm. Although, there are great restaurants surrounding the area, and it's best to go out and about to see the surrounding areas anyway. Valet was incredibly slow. The check-in staff are pretty unenthusiastic about being there. However, on the good side, the bed was very comfortable, and the sheets were so soft. The expresso machine is a nice touch, but it would've been nice to have a little instructional place card. Overall, the experience was ok. Nothing to really rave about, but nothing very negative either.
