Our stay Thanksgiving 2021 Covid protocols were in place, very good. Clean! Security was great, as Deland has some issues with homelessness and a few people trying to make it on the streets. A few were somewhat agressive. So, the security was appreciated. This hotel (only one of two) on the main street in DeLand (the other is the Courtyard by Marriott on the opposite end of the main street- Woodland). The Artisan is the BEST OPTION in all ways - location, food and drinks, entertainment! We reserved a suite, here at the Artisan Downtown. It was nice, with a SMALL living area space with a couch, desk, and a small fridge. The suite had a queen bed, (maybe too soft) and nice crisp white sheets. Two phones - one in the living space and one in the bedroom. The bathroom - SUPER white crisp towels and we were provided with two GREAT bathrobes and two pairs of slippers! Coffee and tea are available in the room for no extra fee. Awesome A+ The only low point for us - “high-end” amenities - they were awful - Chinese soaps that would not actually lather. We actually shopped for alternatives in town. Only one suggestion to management - please REPLACE soaps and bath amenities, or offer none at all. Better bath amenities would be better than the nice slippers. They were an extra treat, but the soaps were so bad we actually shopped in town for alternatives. Nice Cuban café in the lobby (great breakfast) as well as a great on-site bar with live entertainment both nights we were there (on a weekend). The bar has GREAT ambiance and VERY fair prices($5-10). For $200 a night, this is a MUCH better option than the Marriott (any day). Period. The Deland Marriott Courtyard was good (B+++) , really good, but not as good, as is the Artisan in our opinion, a solid A. Our go-to in Deland. You will not be disappointed.
Excellent
