My wife and I use the Trip Advisor site every time we travel. It has been very helpful to us over the years. However, this is the first time we have felt compelled to prepare a review. Our recent stay at Les Artistes was absolutely horrible from beginning to end. Here are our impressions: Management: The hotel is run by... more

I found this hotel from its reviews here. My best guess is that they might have been written by the proprietor. He is very proud of his place, and he's put some effort into it, just not always in advisable ways. Each room takes an interior decorating theme from an artist. Ours, the De Limpicka, was on the far end... more

We accidentally found this little spot after searching for the right place. Sometimes I am in the mood for luxury and other times I am in the mood for artistic hideaways with charm and history. This time I was feeling the latter. This place had a very cool feeling about it. We stayed in the FURO room which is tiny... more

Les Artistes definitely has personality. If you're looking for a Marriott, Les Artistes is not that. If, however, you want a place with personality in a great location, stay here. We recently stayed 4 nights with our dogs and had no regrets. The rooms are large and ours had a refrigerator, microwave, and private patio with a fountain. Decor is... more

Les Artistes is a wonderful place to stay. It is full of charm and character. I stayed there for one night and didn't want to leave. The Furo Room had an amazing energy and a beautiful view. This hotel is for the traveller that likes to be off the beaten path and is more interested in a unique experience than... more

I have stayed here numerous times for convenience purposes, as I prefer to stay in La Jolla. It never struck me as an immaculate place and I always do a little of my own cleaning. But this time in early October 2005, a week later, I had head lice! I have no kids and work in a sterile office environment.... more

When we were looking for a dog friendly hotel for a recent trip to San Diego, we found Hotel Les Artistes. As a former resident of the area, i recalled seeing the hotel on Hwy. 101 many times, but had never been inside. It's an old style Spanish facade with red tile roof, it sits just off the old highway.... more

I found this hotel randomly on the internet when searching for a place to stay in Del Mar for the horse races. I looked it up on Trip Advisor & it sounded great. We wanted 4 rooms for 4 couples. Everyone was excited about this unique little place, rather than the big chain hotels. I called June 30th & the... more

I was given the task of finding a hotel/inn for a one-night getaway for my husband and I. Our in-laws offered to watch our 2-year-old daughter for the night, and we were excited about the chance to spend uninterrupted time together. I read about Les Artistes in a guidebook, and then read the reviews on this website. We are always... more
