Days Inn & Suites Artesia

Aside from fast food restaurants being across the street & CVS next door, this place sucked. The front desk is not so friendly. The room was typically really small for a hotel room. The coffee pot was in the bathroom. The breakfast they serve is a joke. They don’t clean the breakfast room often so you have to make your breakfast in a dirty dwelling. Just no. Find another hotel.

We stayed here Christmas time because we were going to Disneyland. I tell you we had a great time! Great room! Clean! Nice staff! We loved staying in this hotel. We have had bad experiences in other places. This is the best place we’ve been. Definitely would check in here again.

Absolutely great hotel!
Me and my friends stayed over for two nights. Totaling to $ 200 something plus a $ 50 deposit which will be returned in your card.
Cleanliness was a ¹⁰⁄₁₀. We did not find a speck of nastiness you’ll find in cheaper hotels like Rodeway. The carpet was clean, no blackfeet. I even scrubbed tissue on the carpet and nope, that s*** was still white like the cloud from above.
Front Desk service: a ¹⁰⁄₁₀. YES!!! You have no idea how much dipsheet low budget hotels give everywhere else. They guys here are so kind and have the patience to explain and inform. They are the chillest front desk service you’ll ever find. Awesome people, made my experience far better! AJ, and heero (sorry if I spelled it wrong) thank you for being the nicest!
The room is really nice! I mean the nicest of nice compared to other hotels. Everything works great! The aircondition however, turns on and off every 20 minutes and turns on again.
The poolside is pretty and clean. Plenty of parking space. No trouble or noises here. Pretty safe area, CVS is right next to the hotel, a 2 minute walk. And a pizza place right next to it too.

Hotel was very nice and clean, Breakfast was good well stocked as I arrived at about 8:30. Gentlemen at lobby were very nice, helpful with questions regarding local places. I would for sure go back, liked the idea of being so close to everything and walking distances. Definitely recommend to friends.

Went to this days in and my experience was not good at all. First off, I booked a king room and when I checked in, I get a standard room with a queen bed… Really??? So I paid extra money for a standard room and the Front desk person was just plain dumb and has no customer service skills at all. His response to the situation was «it’s not my problem, you should have came earlier in the day». It took a lot for me not to knock his little Indian ass out. The room smelled like old food and was just not clean at all. I should have gone to motel 6 and I’m sure I would have had a better experience. Next time I need a room, motel 6 is the place I will stay.

Throughout the past 30 years of traveling this hotel has got to be the worst experience I’ve ever had. The place is extremely dirty and the non-​smoking rooms smell like smoke. The walls are so thin that every morning you will get woken up and hear the FULL conversation of the people staying next to you. It’s frustrating and awkward as you wonder who is listening to your own conversations. Most of all, the customer service of the General Manager, Haroon, is lacking. We offered him many opportunities to get us a new room or help clean the room we had but he ignored us so we checked out a day early just to get out of there. And I agree with other Unilocalers, it’s so weird that this motel is in a strip mall next to a place called «Lucky Money»!?

I love Little India,
so naturally I’ was excited about staying in this part of town.
I love quirky things,
so naturally I was stoked about the random hot tub in my room.
For it’s price point and it’s location it’s a good hotel. It’s a little weird that it’s in a strip mall but I dig it.

I would want to give this hotel a five star rating
It only takes about 15 min to drive to Disney from here, a big plus was the staffs are all super friendly. I’ve stayed here for a week, but i’ve been changing plans since i got there. i checked in, checked out, and then checked in… but the staff is always so patient with my rather complicated plans.
The Cerritos Mall and Cerritos Town Center are nearby.
It was a perfect place if you’re on a budget and yet you still want a comfortable, clean, place to stay. There’s a mini fridge and microwave, a full on cable channels.
Although people complain about the key to extra doors,
i find this place extremely safe since they have the restricted curfew.
Highly recommended.
and I sure will be back.

The hotel is located in a strip mall, kind of weird but worked out just fine. It’s just off the 91 fwy and about 15 minutes from Disneyland.
A big plus was the Time Warner Cable with On Demand, lots of good TV viewing.
It’s located in the Indian area of Artesia with lots of restaurants to choose from. If you’re not so adventures the Cerritos Mall and Cerritos Town Center are nearby with lots of restaurants.
The hot tub room is pricey but the way to go here. The motel its self if very average with the minimum of customer service. The people were very nice but there is no checking in before 2:00 (3:00 is advertised) and late check out max is 55 minutes or you’ll be charged an extra day.
But back to the hot tub… big enough for 2 and not too big where the jets don’t hit you. Room has a king bed and a pull out sofa.
The breakfast is also better than most free Wyndham breakfasts with raisin bread, yogurt, blueberry flavored waffle, and good orange juice.

I’ve stayed at the days inn in SF and it was lovely so I figured I could trust this place. The two people that checked us in an out were very kind and helpful. The room and bathroom were really clean. I had no issues at all. I would definitely come back for the price. I don’t understand how this place has bad reviews, I had a wonderful stay!

Great place to stay BUT NO GUESTS AFTER 9. They are very strict on that Andy. here’s no getting away with it since you have to pass the front desk and need a key to enter where all the rooms are.

Unlike other Unilocalers, I didn’t have any problems with the strip mall location. It’s in an interesting area of Little India– lots of shops & restaurants that I would’ve checked out had I had more time. Got the jacuzzi suite which was a large corner room. Didn’t have any noise until the next morning– slamming doors. That parking lot door another Unilocaler mentioned is now locked at 7pm. Bummer that the pool is closed at 8pm. I would definitely stay here again! Nice staff– the front desk clerk called my cell phone when my room was ready– early! I’ve never had that kind of service before! Good experience.

Stayed here for three nights this past weekend and had THE WORST MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE! There needs to be a Unilocal option for ZERO stars.
Booked two non-​smoking rooms two weeks in advance only to walk into a room that REEKED of cigarette smoke. Thinking it wouldn’t be rocket science to fix the problem and switch us into a NON smoking room (that we paid money and reserved in advance for), the man at the front desk with blood shot eyes responded with, «did your friends go in the room and smoke?» Uh. no. None of us smoke. That’s why we reserved a NON SMOKING ROOM. We were given the run around to speak to his manager the next morning so we were forced to squeeze into the second room we booked.
The next morning the manager approached us with the same attitude. He continued to type away at his computer and ruffle around some paperwork the entire time, without acknowledging the situation. Really? You couldn’t even give your customers the respect and decency of eye contact? How can customer service be so unbelievably horrible in a customer service based business! Since we crammed into one room, we felt paying for a night in an unoccupied room was ridiculous. The manager refused to give us a refund. We were stuck in this bullshit motel for the entire weekend.
EVERYTHING about this Days Inn is a JOKE. I understand its not the Sheraton or Marriott but believe me, you can get better service at a Motel 6. It’s not worth it.

We stayed here last year. It was a decent motel with big rooms, good breakfast and closeby restaurants. Front desk very friendly. Will recommend and go there again

worst service ever!!! don’t bother talking to their manager, it will just ruin your day! WE WILL NEVER EVER STAY HERE AGAIN! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! READ ALL THE REVIEWS before considering staying here!!!

worst place we’ve ever stayed at!!!
we stayed here for just a night and did a late check in before 7 pm. After checking in, we went out and didn’t get back till before midnight. we originally booked for 2 queen beds, the guy at the reception area offered to give us an upgrded room with 2 separate bedrooms with queen bed on each (which we thought was nice). the A/​C on the other room was defective, it turns on and off, and eventually stopped working at all. we called the front desk to have someone fix it, they sent a security guy to check but wasn’t able to fix it. The security guy told us that there’s nothing else they can do about the problem, they no longer have a maintenance guy on duty at that time, and would just give us a fan! i told him we need a working A/​C not a fan because that’s what we’re paying for. we called the desk again and stated what happened, the guy told us they’re fully booked and wouldn’t be able to transfer us to a different room, and that the best thing they could do is give us an electric fan & have the manager talk to us the following day and probably give us a discounted rate for our stay. we told him that is ridiculous, we’re paying $ 100+ for a night with an A/​C that’s not working and all we get is an electric fan?! anyway, we waited for almost half an hour for somebody to get us a fan and had to call the desk again to make sure we get it soon because it’s really late and all we wanted is to get a good night rest. so the electric fan finally came, it was one of those industrial fans that blows too hard & too loud! we couldn’t even stand the noise & didn’t get to use it at all.
the following morning we checked out early around 9am cause we can’t even stand staying in this place any longer (the heck with their complimentary breakfast if they have a very poor customer service!) before leaving the place we asked to speak to the hotel manager, who happened to be so rude & arrogant & he kept on insisting that every A/​C in each room is on auto mode that it should turn off once it reaches a certain temp and would turn back on again! he insisted that like three times?! i told him the A/​C didn’t work the whole night at all!!! (come on, people are not as stupid and dumb as you think! so stop acting like you know it all coz your reasoning was stupid & non-​sense!) he offered to give us a 10% discount, which is $ 15. $ 15 discount for a horrible night, with no A/​C?! sorry but that is BS! my hubby got really pissed at him and both of them were totally arguing at the lobby. so we just walked out and left and didn’t even bother to get our receipt!
the manger has no manners at all and doesn’t know how to deal & please their customers, he was extremely rude & arrogant! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

The service is good and the rooms were clean. The downside of this hotel was that the walls are so thin that it is very noisy. You can easily hear people from the other rooms. Throughout my stay, i could hear people next door snoring. It was very hard to get a decent rest when every night i could hear them snoring from the other room or taking a shower. Every morning I was easily awaken with people talking and getting ready and one morning when this guy was scolding his daughter to take her phone away in the other room. The walls are too thin and you could her everything from next door and upstairs.

My check-​in was easy and quick. Greeted by a pleasant gentleman and chatted easily. He provide me with the location and directions to my room. Provided information regarding breakfast, wi-​fi and parking. Very helpful.
The room was large and spacious. The bathroom was clean and had a shower massage head which surprised me and a curved shower curtain which made it feel larger and in all made me a happy camper. Bed was comfy. Wi-​fi was quick and easy. My room did not have a microwave or fridge but I read another reviewer and their room included them — oh well. Breakfast is offered, but I did not partake.
The location was freeway close in an okay area of Artesia. Cerritos Mall, restaurants, Little India, Knott’s Berry Farm located very close by. Parking was free and gated from the side street at night, thus limiting public access to the rooms (which is a good thing.)
My complaint would be that there is a very noisy metal door leading from the back parking area to the rooms that was very loud when closing and slammed by most persons entering from the parking — morning and night. The parking at night in the lot was a little creepy because there was some enclosed parking and I was staying during the week and there were very few cars in the large lot.
Yes, it is a little strange for the hotel to be located in a strip mall. For the price and location, I would stay again.
Close to Cerritos Mall, Cerritos restaurant row, Los Alamitos, Long Beach downtown, Belmont Shore, Long Beach Marina, Naples, CSLB, Knott’s Berry Farm, Little India in Artesia.

Yeah, it was a little jarring at first to see the hotel in a strip mall, but when I stayed here, the service was great. They upgraded us to the suites because we had a reservation, an they were really comfortable.
I really liked having the cable box and the rooms were really spacious and clean. Yes, no HBO or anything, but I’d rather have more channels + on demand than just a few + HBO.
Having to use my key to go through extra doors to get to my room was really inconvenient at first, but it’s extremely safe at night in that not «just anyone» can walk up to your door and they have an on-​duty security guard at night (I’ve had issues in other hotels where random people would knock on my door as late as 10:30PM).
The breakfast isn’t anything special, but there are enough places around the hotel within walking distance that you can eat at and there’s a grocery store closeby.
It’s not fancy, but it’s a step above the the rest so I’ll be coming back here.

WTF. A hotel in a strip mall? I see ghetto in the works.
Once you’re in the lobby, up the elevator, you have to key-​in to get into the courtyard leading to the rooms? But you’re already upstairs. weird.
The walls are thin, room is so-​so. If you’re on a budget, ok, this place is 5-​stars. If you want a solid stable seating toilet, this is not. At least there’s a mini fridge and microwave, and full-​on cable channels (not the limited hotel-​issue channels) there’s a cable box with everything but premium channels.
At least the next morning, the rental still had all four wheels.
They offer breakfast: toast, cereal, fruit. It’s decent, gets you going.
To give this hotel credit, it’s not ghetto, nor the neighborhood. The room’s decent, but just a bit under my standards. I’m use to Courtyard/​Marriot. And from years past at a different Days Inn in SoCal, both DI seemed dated.
