Don't believe the positive comments!

Pros: Nice bed Cons: Everything goes downhill real quickly after leaving the lobby. Speaking of the lobby, old black velvet curtains cover a multitude of sins (and unfinished walls). The rooms. We stayed in 509, and 511. I didn't see what other rooms were like, but I can only imagine. The floor "lifts" about 3 inches toward the outside wall.

You can roll a bottle from the edge to the center of the room, no kidding! Toilets are cheap, tend to "call out" to you all night, really. Somebody please fix the toilets in this hotel! Carpet burns from cigarettes, etc... abound. Art reproductions are themed for provacative nudes from about 500 years ago. If you don't care for the old style, then there are 5 nude dancing establishments with about 1/2 mile of the hotel. "Cheri's Cabaret" - about the size of a good garage is right across the street from the hotel, so close you have to pull in her drive way to get on the road back to town. My wife threatened me every time we went to town cause she thought I was taking her to the joint. One good spot was Teddy Kaythe lounge singer. He was very friendly and was pleasent to listen to. Sort of a cross between Frank Sinatra and Buddy Hacket. Staff seem to be unaware of any problems whenever ask. Imagine that! If you should go to Vegas and are look for cheap rooms that are close to tons of smut, Peepland was right around the corner. My wife and I plus the other family that stayed with us there give it four thumbs down!!

2nd time around!

This is now my 2nd visit to The Artisan Hotel and I enjoyed this time as much as the first. The new additions for the guests with buisness needs has been upgraded allowing me to use my laptop in the lobby with the wireless system which I am on right now.Their live entertainment is by far more appreciated then the sounds of slot machines. The staff is very pleasant and has always recognized me by my last name which is a nice touch. I feel comfortable when doing my buisness travel alone to stay with my new found friends at The Artisan Hotel.

Neat littel hotel

This a neat hotel, there are pictures and statues everywhere! My room even had 6 pictures by Paul Gaugin. The staff was great and helped me with show tickets. I also enjoyed the music and cocktails that night. I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Great Hotel

Great Hotel, when I checked in I was given a glass of champagne before I went to my room. The walls of lobby and hallways are covered with many works of art as was my room! (I was in the Da Vinci room). The staff was great and my entire stay was enjoyable.

Bad art reproductions on top of it all

A dingy lobby starts off this disasterous experience (I would have changed hotels but was unable to without $800 in extra charges).

The only thing somewhat positive about this place was the large bed.

The carpeting was burned from irons and cigarettes and who knows what else. Even the furniture had burns in this supposedly non-smoking room.

The toilet ran all night and leaked from where it was mounted to the floor. There was no acknowledgement from the staff when this was mentioned after the first night.The upstairs neighbor was up all night every night and the sounds seemed as if they came from my own room. I cut my foot the first night on broken glass from a previous guest in the carpet.

Not an easy place to get to without a car.

Stay away if you have any choice.Stay away even if you don't.

Please DO NOT Consider this awful place!

We scheduled this hotel in a bundle with an airfare in order to get the great airfare price. Unfortunately, just like the previous reviewer, we LEFT after checking in and going to the room. I wasn't expecting much but this was below my worst expectations. The property is surrounded by a chain-linked fence and instead of grass, there is gray gravel.

Contrary to their website, there is no pool, no spa, nothing as they advertise. The "fine dining" is limited to morning hours and the "restaurant" is a few metal tables in the lobby. Inside the room, our view was of large garbage bins in the alley behind strip clubs. I saw a person huddled next to one with a brown bottle. The decor is dated and tattered. There are cigarette burns on the nightstands (in the non-smoking room) and an iron mark on the uneven faded carpet. The water marks on the ceiling couldn't be concealed by the heavy coats of paint. The toilet ran on and on sporadically. The walls were paper-thin and crying babies could be heard from rooms away. I could go on and on.

This is a place for down-and-outs, not travelers.

Checked In and Checked Out!!

Checked into the room, took one look and checked out. Room was filthy, floor uneven, things did not work. Phone was hard wired!! No dataport.

Took 45 minutes to get a cab company to respond as NOBODY knows where this place is located.

No relaxation at this spa

If you like crackheads and strip clubs this is the place for you, I would guess there are 10 strip clubs and 100 crackheads within a quarter mile of this hotel. I like the concept, and I enjoyed the art on display throughout the hotel. I did not at all like the crazy man who knocked on my door at 3 AM and called my room every couple of hours asking me for a ride to work. This property is located in the real armpit area of Las Vegas and I would never stay there again. It is difficult to get to and the interior is falling apart. The majority of the front desk staff was very friendly, but 1 apple spoiled that bunch as well. I left personal belongings in my room and called on my way to the airport and the person who answered my call refused to check. I had to call back after I got home to San Diego and ask someone else to check for me. The items were indeed left behind in the room. I would not recommend anyone to stay here. Oh - and where was the spa?

Great Property!

Spectacular property! Loved the artwork displayed throughout the hotel!

I read the previous reviewer and couldn't disagree more. Fantastic value at a one of a kind boutique Vegas hotel!

Not up to par

The room was not what I expected from the ad. The toilet was broken and we called management serveral times and no one came up to fix the problem. Overall I feel the property could have been maintained better. The room could have been cleaner.
