Great staff, bad room condition

The service was amazing, we were upgraded rooms for our anniversary. The staff was kind and friendly, and we had fast delivery of ice to our room. Overall the staff is what made our trip very special, plus you can’t beat this location- it is central to downtown and a walking distance to everything. Unfortunately, the room itself was very run down, the windows were filthy and the blinds were falling apart. The white “pane” over the window was broken and did not close the entire way, making the hotel room ridiculously loud at night, and early in the morning. Additionally, the bathroom was dirty and the toilets didn’t flush, and the furniture looked worse for the ware. I don’t know if I would return to this hotel until the rooms have been renovated.

The only thing that was a bit inconvenient was no doors on the shower area. Me and my colleague were sharing a room, and it was really inconvenient for us to go into the shower and/or use the washbasin at the same time. Even if there is a curtain on the area, that would be great.

Location was great for our plans. Some staff did well while others fell short. Room next door had very loud party going all night and it was impossible to get a good nights sleep. Two complaints in the middle of the night to front desk were addressed but with poor results . Would have tried to move rooms but it was 3am. Management only removed 25$ service fee for all the trouble. I worked in hospitality industry for over 20 years and that’s not how you get people back. Keating you have hope but management in my opinion needs to smooth over guest complaints better and maybe you need some real security instead of a group of young employees trying to quiet a drunken mob.

The hotel room was unsanitary and uninviting. There were holes in the walls, mold, rust, dust and dirt — nothing was clean. Wouldn’t want to step in the shower. We left immediately, were refused a refund and booked elsewhere. The Courtyard Marriott was a little cheaper per night and a million times better. The potential of double paying for our trip was preferable to staying at the Keating. The health department should check it out.

Loud

Unfortunately the sleek design of my hotel room was actually a painted concrete floor-- the kind people have in basements, not bedrooms. The problem is, with a bare floor and no curtains, the room had zero sound dampening elements. This meant hearing the people above me walking around when they were in their room, plus hearing the pounding bass and dj on the mic from over at Coyote Ugly. Staff eventually gave me earplugs to help with the noise, which is a poor solution to the design issue. Secondly, the vents faced directly at the pillows on the bed so the air conditioning blew in my face whenever it kicked on. Everyone who worked there was incredibly nice, but look elsewhere for a comfortable stay.

The room was sort of a locker room with a bed in it, No carpet on the floor, The shower is in the bedroom, there was a mini bar with no price list and just a few scattered items. There is a fancy espresso machine in the room but only decaf espresso? No coffee in the lobby, the room keys would only work once and then you had to go down to the desk to get new ones. Glass ware in the room was spotted and dirty. TV and light switches were overly complicated, no reading lights on the night stands so you would have to get out of bed to turn off the lights if you were reading before bed... Weird place....and not in a good way!
