The Artemis Yoruk is the very definition of a budget hotel. It isn't the cleanest, and it isn't the most well-kept, but it has a roof, four walls, and a bed. Each room even has its own bathroom. They also have an outdoor pool, a warm indoor pool, a sauna, a Turkish bath (that costs extra), and a place to get massages if you so choose (also extra). The breakfast is quite good. It was much better than the previous hotel we stayed in.
The beauty of the Artemis Yoruk is in its location. You can walk there from the exit of the travertines in less than ten minutes. The street it is on is lined with restaurants and bars. A surprising majority of them offered Korean food. We decided it was best not to give that a shot after our experience in Russia.
The only glaring point against the hotel is the fact that the city's mosque seems to be located in its backyard. Not that I have anything against mosques in general, but remember that Muslims pray five times a day. The first call to prayer is at 5:45AM. Neither of us knew that until we stayed at this hotel. It's actually a lovely sound any other time of day, but as a wake-up call, it would be much better around 8.
There is nothing terrible about the hotel, and there is nothing great about it. As long as you don't enter the hotel expecting a Hilton, you should be just fine.
