• My wife and I stayed here for New Years. We had a great time and the location made you feel right in the middle of the gaslamp party. Great getaway. Showers are cool.

• A disappointing experience The hotel has been remodeled very nicely, the location is excellent, and the interior is as swank and stylish as you'd expect from an Italian auto manufacturer. While the hotel is quite old, none of its original charm was retained. Unfortunately local historical preservation requirements demanded that they retain San Diego's oldest operating elevator (seriously). We've stayed in lots of boutique hotels, and many older preserved/remodeled ones, and have never had an experience like this. The steam-driven elevator mechanism positively roars and shudders the rooms, making sleep impossible. The hotel's solution -- complimentary earplugs and a white noise machine -- work well enough, but for these prices and the boutique hotel experience Keating aspires to, it's quite a disappointment. Add to that the malfunctioning toilet in our room that went unrepaired, despite our numerous requests, for our entire 4 day stay, plus a massive screw-up of our reservation by the otherwise charming and ...

(I should note that as "amends" for our experience we were given a coupon for two slices of pizza somewhere, and the manager removed the historical preservation tax from our room charge.) There are many lovely options in San Diego; go elsewhere. Show full review
