Spark by Hilton Artesia

Wanted to visit Carlsbad Caverns and Roswell, but was unimpressed with Carlsbad, NM hotel choices. We love historic hotels, whereas Hotel Artesia is not really a historic hotel, it is built in historic Art Deco style, and the price was reasonable, so we stayed here for two nights. This was a great decision and a wonderful stay! Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, they even have a book of menus of local restaurants. Free breakfast and free bottled water offered. Facility and room were very clean and comfortable. Suite was well laid out with work desk, dining table for two, microwave, dorm fridge, swivel flat screen TV and two recliners which was great for stretching out after a long day. Work desk with USB and wall plugs available for charging.. Bed was comfortable with night stands on each side. Ample lighting with great swivel lights over the bed for evening reading. Location was fantastic! 1.5 hour drive from Cloudcroft, 1 hour to Carlsbad Caverns, 40 minutes to Roswell. We were able to visit all the sites by staying at Hotel Artesia. Hotel Artesia is easy walking distance to downtown and and several restaurants. Artesia was a pleasant surprise, thriving downtown with shops and wonderful artwork and sculptures. Anyone considering visiting Carlsbad Caverns or Roswell really should stay here. I highly recommend them staying at the Hotel Artesia. .

Hotel modern and clean. Was here on a business trip and pleasantly surprised given the basic nature of the town of Artesia. Rooms are clean and comfy. Arrived on a Sunday afternoon for business but be warned, nothing is open, no bars, no restaurants after 3pm due to liquor laws (not even the hotel bar).. So instead of going for a nice dinner, my coworkers and I gave in to the only option of driving to Walmart for some provisions (and wine) and has supper out on the hotel patio. The hotel is also across the road from the refinery.

Recently spent 3 days in this pet-friendly hotel in Artesia. We chose Artesia over Carlsbad as a base for our visiting Carlsbad Cavern and White Sands NP due to Artesia's inexpensive hotel rates. While the Hotel Artesia is more pricey than others in town, it delivered on all fronts. Very chic decor, rooms were huge and had every amenity, and they accept pets! My only complaint is the free breakfast is continental only (no hot meals). But they more than made up for it with a nightly Happy Hour at their hotel bar, offering snacks and cash bar each night. Very friendly staff, secure grounds, free parking. A no-smoking hotel that still afforded is smoking guests with 3 very nice, comfortable outdoor areas in which to light up, complete with real ashtrays on the tables. A small touch but as a former smoker, my opinion is that by respecting its smoking clientele, they in turn kept their areas clean. It was a nice touch IMO. Back to the hotel. Very clean, very modern, micro and fridge and coffee maker in the room (we had a double-bed room, not one of the mini suites or suites); even has a safe in the closet for valuables. Business Center and gym facilities also very good. Small gym but kept well cleaned. An affordable and enjoyable stay in a very artsy, friendly small city. Will definitely return to Artesia soon and the Hotel Artesia will be our hotel of choice.

Staff was very friendly. They even brewed a new pot of coffee when we came back from our tour around the area in the afternoon so my wife didn't have to drink leftover coffee. Breakfast options are good although no meat options (eggs provide the protein).

Ok stay 👍 Simple and nice. Only problems were about 10 long dark hairs in bottom of bathtub, but we could just wash them down. Ran out of coffee in the morning, but switched to decaf and I was ok. For price, would be nice if they had more selection with breakfast.

Overall could have been better pet fee not listed on ********** website and $50.00 would have been nice to know. Breakfast was poor. Fake juice, a few bagels and not much else. Parking was strange where you where told to park on the street?
