The Keating  

Staff was helpful and friendly. Good equipment in room (expresso machine, Bose TVs, remote control for lighting. Staff went out of their way to help.

My room was incredibly noisy --- street noise from bars/music. Hotel "fitness room" appears to be one bicycle, some yoga mats, and a piece of paper that tells guests where to run/walk outside. If it's raining or late at night, that's not good enough.

The beautiful room and helpful staff

The noise from the road and next door bar. Double glazing may fix the problem

The whole hotel is amazing. top notch design, good beds, awesome staff. excelent location, right in the middle of gaslamp. they brought complimentary cookies every day, there is a coffee machine at the room, which is great. the hotel seems designed by pininfarina.

Shower don't have a door, and windows are translucid... Can be embarassing if you are with a colleague. anyway, it is great if you are solo or if you are with your wife/girlfriend. when i left at 5h30 AM there was no one at the frontdesk, and they did not answered my call when i called them to the number that was at the door. had to leave a note on their desk with my email address and asking for the bill.. no response yet. I really had to go.. had my flight early in the morning and had a cab already outside waiting. those two are not complaints, just notes so they can improve service. i would recomend this hotel anyway.

The room was pretty cool looking. The rain shower was nice but no door on the shower meant for a drafty shower and the room got humid too. They had remote control lighting/dimming, that was a nice touch. Comfortable bed/ pillows.

No door on the shower/shower was in the room (not recommended for people not traveling as a couple). The phones couldn't dial the desk using the button with a picture of a desk on it (I just started pushing other buttons till I got the desk). There was sand or something in the bed (the lights above the bed didn't have finishing pieces on them and sand or something like it, ended up in the bed). Loud, bring earplugs.

Beautiful rooms design. Great staff. Best location. Everything is very convinient.

Impossible to sleep. Location is great. It because of the old windows - it is practically like sleeping in the middle of the club with people laughing, cars driving by, etc. second night that we were staying at the hotel there was a party at another room and it really rained on our sleep and left a really bad memory about the hotel.

The location was excellent. The design of the hotel is cool. The cookies at the end of the day were a nice touch (and the cookies were quality!). Some reviewers complain about the noise from the club below, but our room was fine and quiet. A friend who was staying in another room said he could hear it faintly.

The "gym," which consisted of a recliner bike, a few weights, a fitness ball and yoga mat, was nothing to write home about (I'm not writing home right now!). But that guaranteed you had it to yourself. The hotel doesn't claim to have a proper gym, but perhaps they can think of hooking up with a nearby facility?

Everything! The Staff was amazing! Location was perfect! There were reviews about the noise, and I was nervous, but we did not experience any noise at all!!!! The bed was so comfy, it made it hard to get out. The recommendations from the staff were right on the money! It was a perfect choice for our romantic get away. Thank you for that!!

The staff was very very friendly and helpful

Great location in the Gaslamp Quater next to Hard Rock Cafe & Horton Plaza shopping mall. Room was very trendy/modern with high ceilings and a very comfy bed. The room came fully stocked with snacks/water/booze (all of which is charged to your card if you consume) and a complementary expresso machine. Shower is definitely the best feature of the Deluxe Room (not recommended for colleagues or friends b/c shower partition is see-through). Over sized windows open all the way letting in all the downtown sights, sounds, and smells!!!

Elevator is slow and buttons are old so you need to pay attention to which button you push. Also, request a room facing the east (which looks towards 5th Ave) or south (which looks towards f st). We stayed on 4th floor facing west and right outside our window was an a/c unit on the rooftop for the building next door so it was quite noisy with the windows open. It can be noisy late nights thurs-sun because of prime bar/club locations. Hotel is non-smoking so plan on standing in in front of the lobby to enjoy a cigarette if you do smoke because there is no rooftop or balconies.

The staff was very accomodating with what they had to work with.

The design was ultra modern with the shower and sinks in the bedroom with absolutely no privacy. There was no door on the shower. The hotel is historic and has not installed any noise abatement elements. The bar below was packed and playing music until after 2 am. If you want to sleep, earplugs are a must! Your other option is to request an "interior" room that is supposedly much smaller.

The rooms at The Keating are modern, clean and spacious. The hotel is in a fantastic location and you are literally steps from plenty of places to eat, drink or shop.

It's very noisy, due to The Keating's close proximity to pubs and clubs you can hear everyone socialising on the streets below well into the early hours of the morning. We were on a higher floor and it felt like they were in our room.

Friendly staff and a great cental location

We loved the design and uniqueness of The Keating. Glad there were earplugs, as the street noise level of partiers below was fairly loud at 2am! We loved the high tech room and also all the design features. Pinaferina's design touches were wonderful!!!
