Don’t let the words “hotel bar” turn you away, this place has delicious cocktails, great snacks, and a really cute vibe! One of my favorite places to bring friends in the area.

Wife and I had breakfast since we stayed at the hotel. It was a mistake. The waitress was nice enough but scatterbrained. The food was super basic, unseasoned, and not worth half the price. Breakfast sandwich didn't have cheesy baked eggs, just some scrambled egg wash without cheese, and no baby spinach, just half expired salad mix. Fresh fruit was all mush. Coffee was so bitter and burnt that you'd think this was a roadside diner. Take a 5 minute walk to the pancake house nearby instead. Fail, Archer Hotel.

I like the look and style of the dining space. The service started out extremely slow. To the point we were not sure we existed. It got better.
We ordered the omelette with chicken sausage, bacon, and Swiss 3/5 (chicken sausage very good just overcooked). It came with potatoes 3/5. Avocado toast with over easy eggs 3/5. The coffee 4.5/5.

What a hidden gem! I love a good girls night out and this is just the place.(Perhaps I should not be sharing this).The warm ambiance with the fire place and chairs/couches are a very inviting.It does not have a loud club "vibe", yet you are still feeling the GNO energy.Amy, our bartender/waitress, has been amazing on multiple occasions.Attentive, kind, engaging, always anticipating our next need. She's a true gem! This place is lucky to have her.Att in customer service! Truly, not sure I've had a better bartender/server!The food is wonderful! I dream of the ahi bites!If Amy and the Ahi are there, GNO will continue!

This is a top notch respite for the weary traveler or local seeking a quieter hangout. Plenty of loud bars in walking distance but this place offer a prime location, good food, and wide variety of drinks.

The physical and online menu list the “pesto” flatbread as vegan. The ingredients include parmesan, which is dairy and thus not vegan friendly. Pesto recipes may differ, but they all include cheese, again a dairy item that is not vegan friendly.I was completely confused when I saw this as I sat at the bar. So, what does one do? Well ask, right?Me: This is vegan? (I’m pointing to the menu item to the bartender)Bartender: Yup.Me: It has cheese.Bartender: It’s vegetarian.Me: It’s marked vegan.Bartender: Vegan. Vegetarian. Same thing. It doesn’t have meat.So, I should feel satisfied now? Have my concerns been addressed? So much going on here.1. “Vegan. Vegetarian. Same thing.” That communicates to me that the bartender has absolutely no concern for the issue I took the time to bring up.2. “Vegan. Vegetarian. Same thing.” That communicates that the bartender is too lazy to ask for assistance when she doesn’t have the answer. All she had to say was something like. “Let me check on that. I’ll be right back.”2. Of course vegan and vegetarian do not mean the same thing. At a minimum:a. Vegan is a lifestyle, not a diet, [the vegan lifestyle includes a vegetarian diet]b. Vegetarian is a diet, not a lifestyle,c. Vegetarians don’t eat dairy, lacto-vegetarians do.3. However, let’s go with the bartender’s conclusion that they are the same. Then that begs the question: Why are some items marked vegan and some vegetarian? If they mean the same thing, why have two different markers? [We must not be so clueless.]Is it vegan or not?If yes. 1) revise the menu to reflect the actual ingredients. “Parmesan” is dairy, so if you are using a non-dairy version, then the menu needs to reflect it. 2) Train your staff to confirm that it is vegan and can explain why.If no. 1) Correct the menu and remove the designation.And no matter what: train your staff to ask questions from a manager or cook to get clarification.[And I won’t even bother getting into how clueless she was about alcohol….]

I’ve been to archer many times before and it went decent, last night the lady bartender, was extremely rude, extremely disrespectful and embarrassed me in front of my guest.Not only we will never come back to that hotel again, I will Make sure to pass to information to anyone who is coming for business trips or etc. not to come.Bartender is not supposed to be that rude and disrespectful to customers.
Everyone and everything was just fantastic at The Archer. Lovely hotel ambience. Spacious, clean, quiet and very comfortable rooms. So many little details that make it above and beyond. Restaurant was delicious and amazing staff. Front desk so helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend The Archer hotel!
Exceptional service and luxurious accommodations. Every detail was perfect during my stay. Food and Beverage, Housekeeping, Engineering and Front Desk did not miss a single detail. The lobby is comfortable and airy with the high ceilings and natural finishes.
Unfortunately our time at the Archer was disappointing. A beautiful hotel with nice rooms and cozy beds, but a broken pool that my two toddlers couldn't swim in. We were directed to a local sister hotel pool which also had broken amenities. Overall I would like to come back, but the fact I need to call ahead to see if the pool is working is not ideal.
Great atmosphere. Service is mediocre, but the food was moderately good.
