Bueno Bonito y Barato
Pros:

La habitación era inmensa, muy limpia y bien decorada. La cama muy cómoda y con todo lo necesario. Es tal cual sale en las fotos. Cama muy cómoda, habitación bien aclimatada, bien la ropa de cama así como todo lo necesario para el baño.
El personal de recepción fantástico y muy servicial. Merece la pena reservar una suite grande por la diferencia de precio.

Cons:

Nada

good location, good price, dont forget your phone.
Pros:

Great location as you are able to walk around the gas lamp district really easily. Price was also very agreeable. Room size was good and staff was friendly.

Cons:

Only real issue is that the hotel is not staffed all the time and I could not find this information provided on any site, expedia actually lists as 24/7 fyi. Becomes an issue for a place that uses keyless locks and you lock your phone inside with no way to contact anyone onsite to get the code or let you in... I have never worked in or seen a hotel that uses home locks.

This place is great and affordable, but is not a 5 star resort with the bells and whistles.
Pros:

It was very affordable and at the center of the nightlife and close to the convention center. The bed were very comfy.

Cons:

It actually wasn’t bad but parking is an issue, they do have a parking structure that you can book through Spot Hero.

If you’re traveling alone or with one person and just need a place to crash, this place is a viable.
Pros:

I stayed at the Keating while in town for a convention. If you’re looking for a place to relax and recharge, this place will do nicely. Room was plenty big and had a small refrigerator. There is no restaurant at the hotel but there are plenty of food options within easy walking distance whether you’re looking for sit down or to go. Very easy walk to the convention center. Staff texted every day to check how stay was going and if any assistance was needed.

Cons:

Although the shower has both a rain head and a standard head, there is no door, so it’s possible to splash water on the floor.

Pros:

Perfect location. Staff was super friendly and helpful and courteous!

Cons:

Parking- could instruct future patrons about websites for cheaper rates for parking. Could use hand towels- only had bath towel and wash cloth per person. Pillows are old.

Ideal for guests looking to be close to the nightlife
Pros:

Comfortable bed, very central location, and a friendly, polite host

Cons:

The furniture and appliances showed significant wear and tear. The sofas were dirty, and there was visible scale and rust on the faucets. The suite was very noisy, as it was located directly above a bar there was loud music, traffic noise, and people shouting late into the night

I wouldn't stay here again unless I knew they made a lot of changes.
Pros:

The staff was great (Alex and Oscar). Location was good too.

Cons:

Bare bones room and "cold" (not temperature wise). Felt a bit like a jail cell with the concrete floor (no carpet anywhere), stainless steel sink fixture, nothing on the walls, and the shower in the bedroom. The weirdest hotel room I've ever been in. Also, no tissues, even when I asked for a box. No coffee maker in the room, no lamps on side tables. Just very cold and echoey.
