Quirky but Nice Hotel in Semi-Remote Location
We stayed in two different rooms at the Artemis, first a Deluxe King Room with 300+ square feet, and then a regular Queen room with 200+ square feet. We liked the Queen room much more, as it was more normal. The king room had a ridiculous and useless built in hallway, and the bathroom had two glass doors to enter and leave and was weird and not private. Also TV in king room is very precariously mounted over the bed and dangerous. The Queen room was normal, and had the exact same size bed, which was comfortable, clean and free of bugs. Our biggest complaint was the glass door to the bathroom, which lacked privacy and wouldn't stay shut (and problem was twice as bad in king size room!) Second complaint was there was one normal window, and one weirdly small window due to the building's architectural statement. We would have preferred two normal size windows. The location is about half way between downtown and the airport. You have to take tram or bus to go to town every day, it's a quick 20 minute trip and if you get off in the park and walk, then it's about ten minutes. The hotel is located in residential area, and you have to walk through housing projects to get to the #2 tram. It takes about ten minutes depending how you walk, and it took us a week to figure out the fastest route. There's also a bus stop closer by, about five minutes away, but no one at the front desk knows anything about the buses. (BTW, if you drive you're all set, but good luck parking downtown!) The staff
