This place is a dump. Pulling into the driveway and there are all weeds and a big black and yellow bus. Can't believe I spent $200 on this tiny room with a Japanese soaking tub that made the room feel so humid and muggy. There is no place to put your suitcase., no ice, nothing!! Just a small room with... More

We are from Fort Wayne Indiana and was looking for a nice place to stay without breaking our wallet. We wanted a little whimsical romance and found this place online. We loved this place the first time we saw it. We stayed in the Monet room. It had two comfortable beds, a little kitchenette, and a small bathroom. The greatest... More

The place is quaint, quirky, and oh-so-charming. It was grand to lie in bed and marvel at all the design features in our Georgia O'Keefe room. Can't wait to try every other artist-themed room. And how special to have a morning fire to take the chill off the lovely garden/patio entrance. If you're an artist or photographer, bring your camera... More

My fiancee and I stayed here for a little weekend getaway. We stayed in the Furo room which was traditional Japanese inspired style. It was clean and had a Japanese soaking tub (basically a hot tub) in the room. It also had a balconly with a view of the ocean. The room was very unique in a very nice part... More

Les Artistes is where we always stay when we go to the San Diego area. It has so much more character than a basic hotel for about the same price. Every room is unique and inspired by a different artist. The hotel is full of quirky little nooks and crannies and unique touches. It's just off the Hwy and walking... More

Les Artistes is not for everyone. For those who like atmospheric accommodations it's a gem. It's clean, but decidedly dated and quite quirky. Everything seemed old, but things worked that needed to, and it's really charming. I stayed in Room 8, "Zen," for 2 chilly January nights. The heater eventually got the room toasty, but it's old and a little... More

I had to spend the night in Del Mar, California and unexpectedly stumbled on Les Artistes Inn. It turned out to be a haven of quiet and beauty. My room had an open French door that looked out upon a fountain and a beautiful garden. The furnishings were tasteful and imaginative, it was relaxing and low-key. It was eclectic yet... More

we spent several days here. after the owners made sure they had us sign for the accomodation up front, and obtained our credit details and processed the transaction, they took us to our room. and it was too late. they locked us in for the 3 days as soon as we checked in. the room was filthy and dirty. there...

We just chanced upon this place driving through Del Mar. I am not into big resorts operated by big corporations. What a nice find!! We walked up to the small check-in area and the friendly owner showed us the rooms that are available. Each is uniquely designed. We decided to stay at the Lotus room at the Secret Garden Inn,... More
