Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the room we stayed in other than the bathroom. It was a sliding door which did not fully close. The room was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the open floor plan was very nice. Great location, plenty of restaurants and bars around. I’ve never stayed in the gaslamp. But this location was perfect for us. There’s no on site parking which sucked but they do give parking recommendations. And you can always call if you have questions. The staff was very personable. Coffee pods we provided near the front desk and there was a storage room where they had towels and toiletries to replenish your room. Overall great stay :)."
