What guests think

At Artesia Motor Inn, reviews describe a budget stay with some updated, spacious rooms and in room jacuzzis, but recurring cleanliness and maintenance issues—dirty linens, pests, odors—plus inconsistent service and a sketchy-feeling area; several guests also found it quiet.

Several guests say the property offers good value for a short overnight stay, but photos often don't match the rooms provided. Room comfort is mixed, with reports of hard beds, thin bedding, and limited pillows, while parking can be tight when full. Expect a simple, budget-minded stay with trade-offs.

Facilities

Several rooms feature in-room jacuzzis that guests enjoy, though some report hot water or cleanliness issues with tubs. Parking is convenient for some but limited when the lot is full; a few note charges or limited availability for the ice machine.

First, let me start by saying when you walk in the door it smells like cigarettes. Then I got the room with the Jacuzzi tub in it and guess what the hot water was not hot. They told me that it would take 15 minutes for it to get hot. It took 3 whole hours for it to get hot. This is not a good place to stay. Then they don't want to refund you your money. Never stay here.

My boyfriend and I booked a room at this hotel for his birthday weekend. I had an argument with management about getting refunded. I wasn’t able to see the room till I got to the hotel and it was infested with bugs, roaches. Crawling everywhere. Some dead inside the hotel hot tub. We took videos and pictures for proof and got called liars about it even with providing evidence. Claiming that the rooms are cleaned out daily and they never got any complaints from any customer. We felt so disgusted and uncomfortable. NEVER EVER booking a room with them again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZERO STARS

The property was decent but the sheets had hair tangled in the material. Also there was hair in the jet spa. The bed was so hard and noisy the bead frame was made of metal and when sleeping and you turn around . The bed squeaks so loud. Could not sleep comfortably. Not worth the stay and will NOT RETURN

The owners are very nice and kind. They said the beds were brand new, but ours was super hard and very uncomfortable. It took about 8 to 10 minutes to get hot water to the shower. The floors could’ve been cleaner, but not visibly dirty. I really liked the LED lights around the top of the room, that is what drew us to the hotel. The pictures are deceiving, they’ve done their best to remodel the rooms, but a lot of the trim is the original and has water damage. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy, they happen to be two cop cars leaving the parking lot when we got there. They did not have the ice machine working, they said it only is on during the summer. There was no table in the room, but there were two chairs. We heard several gunshots each night, which made us a bit uneasy. Again, the staff was extremely friendly. But I would not recommend staying there.

This was a nice little motel close to a venue. I went to to see some cover band. The reason I booked it was the tub! It was a little pricey for one night, but I had a great soak at least twice.

I booked a room here because of the other reviews, don’t do it. The staff is wonderful but the room is gross. The walls looked like they’ve never been cleaned, the bathroom is half way cleaned, the beds have hair in the sheets and burn holes in the blankets. Even the chairs had old crusty food suck to them. Motel 6 would be a better option than this. If you have extra pillow and blankets to put over the bed then do it since it’s a cheaper option, but if not beware.

Our room was dirty. Hair from the previous people before us. Burn marks on sheets, no outlets in the bathroom and when we called them and told them the lady said she would come up and check. When she came up there she said we had outlets by the bed and I explained to her we couldn’t use them to do our hair. The room didn’t look like the pictures.
