The Keating Hotel

Nice room, very clean and spacious! Perfect if you are planning to visit a location near or in the gaslamp quarter and a jaunt away from the beach. Staff was very helpful and kind.

A Hidden Gem with Exceptional Service I recently stayed at The Keating Hotel, and I have to say, it far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed—but what truly stood out was the size of the rooms. They were way bigger than I anticipated, offering plenty of space to relax without feeling cramped. The sleek, modern design only added to the experience, making it feel more like a luxury loft than a typical hotel room. Beyond the spacious layout, the bed was incredibly comfortable—one of the best I’ve slept on in any hotel. It was the perfect balance of plush and supportive, making it almost impossible to leave in the morning. But what truly set The Keating apart was the customer service. Specifically, Alex went above and beyond to make my stay exceptional. From personalized recommendations to handling requests with ease and efficiency, Alex made me feel like a VIP guest. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about the guest experience, and his attention to detail was unmatched. Overall, The Keating Hotel is a hidden gem that combines style, comfort, and world-class hospitality. If you’re looking for a place that not only meets but exceeds expectations, this is it. I’ll definitely be returning!

I stayed at this beautiful Airbnb because my son booked a room as my birthday present. I really liked the Airbnb. It is beautiful, clean and the location is excellent. I would like to take a moment to recognize the exceptional service provided by Alex and Lin , they both helped me with everything I needed and were so friendly. I’ll definitely be returning

We had a smooth check-in experience thanks to Oscar, who was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. He made sure to move us to a quieter room away from the street side, which we really appreciated. Later, he also went out of his way to assist us with our refund request and was very professional and communicative. Thank you, Oscar, for your excellent service!

I booked through airbnb What first caught our eye to the Mine Hospitality- Keating Hotel was the price point, it was extremely affordable for the area and especially considering how big the space was. The photos are exactly what you will get. The host was proactive with communication. They were in communication each day to make sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed and very quick response time, which was really appreciated. I was slightly worried about parking from reading other people comments but the host provided a voucher to the parking garage that is literally on the corner less than 100 ft away. It was extremely easy and very convenient. You could even park your car in the parking garage if you decided to go to a baseball game, everything is in walking distance from this apartment. I see others talking about the locks not working, they absolutely do work you just have to know how to do it. They could remove the mirrors from the showers and bathroom areas but i was not offput by it, you can shine a light or theres other ways to test them just look on google , tik tok, etc. The noise was not bad at all , but we did stay during the week. Also the Tvs had roku which we love because we can log in and watch our shows from home. Overall i would highly recommend this apartment we thoroughly enjoyed our time and were very comfortable.

Horrible room and experience for two 21 year old girls. Dirty and unsafe room. Door would not properly lock, and had to use the chair in the room to jam the door for safety. There is a full length mirror on the ceiling above the shower. The mirror just makes me think there are hidden cameras. There are 5 fire/smoke alarms in the very tiny room, which again makes me think that some may be hidden cameras in them as well. Then to have a fully open see through shower in corner of the room. If you’re not traveling with a spouse/significant other, this is not okay. At least put a door on it and frost it. The view out the window was on to a tarp trying to hide the neighbors and very close to the next building. The hallway had a strange, bad smell that neither girl could place. They ended up staying up all night and checked out first thing in the morning and went across the street to the Marriott. They lost the money for the nights they didn’t stay, and had to pay for her new hotel. Do not waste your money by staying at this hotel, stay at a reputable hotel and save yourself the stress!

decent hotel to stay at in downtown SD, the walls are kind of thin so you can hear what’s happening in the building. also expect it to be noisy in late hours, it is in the middle of SD nightlife and many bars. i didn’t mind it, but some might so be aware! the rooms are very spacious and clean, and i was staying alone so didn’t mind the open shower.

Alex and Oscar at the front desk are awesome. They are very helpful and able to give you real local tips to travel around. Hotel is awesome and close to the convention center The room, however, needs redesigning and remodeling. The shower area doesn’t have a door, which made it freezing during the winter. The overall design of the room just wasn’t my style.

My partner and I stayed here via an AirBnB booking. It was definitely subpar, but the price was alright. The elevator was a bit dingy, and the hallways were very dimly lit. No windows or airflow. The room was similar, poorly ventilated. Felt very stuffy, and the fan would in turn make the room very cold - it blew right onto the bed. We had windows, but they all faced right into the next door building. Our room had a king bed, which was actually two twin beds pushed together. Sleeping on it was not very comfortable, we could sink into the middle. The toilet would squeak and make strange noises for about 30 seconds after flushing. Other than this, the setup of the room is just okay. Definitely a studio/bachelor pad setup. The shower, sink and bed were all in the same room. The toilet is the only thing that's behind a door. Also, the shower has no door so whoever else is in the room can 100% see you naked. Would only recommend staying here with a partner, not with an entire family. Overall, it's an alright value for the price. The location is great! Parking is tough, so account for extra expenses if you plan to use a lot. Overall, I'd only stay here if I'm realllly on a budget. Otherwise, spend a little more and stay somewhere nicer.

BEWARE!!! SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES!! (AKA THE MINE for Airbnb) I reserved a room for the weekend, canceled four days prior to my reservation, and they would not reimburse my deposit of $119. What I found so strange was that after three weeks of communication with the front desk staff where I provided credit card info, date I originally called, date I cancelled (even needed to show screenshots!), they then decided there was a policy of NO REFUNDS. It took three weeks to figure that out, although I specifically asked about cancelation when booking my room. After numerous requests, they would not provide me with a contact for the manager. Who operates a hotel like this?? Absolutely mind blowing. It's a shame since my wife and I have a son at SDSU and we planned to make this establishment our go-to during frequent visits. Will never go back to The Keating/MINE. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!!

The hotel is very unique and beautiful. I highly recommend this place. Oscar goes the extra mile to help all guest
