If only it was clean
By ,
I grew up in Northfield, so I've long appreciated the renovation done on the Archer House by Dallas Haas in the mid 1980s. I stayed at the hotel the night of my wedding with my first wife, and again recently with my second wife. The Archer House has a tremendous amount of detail built into it -- both historical and new. Unfortunately, the three housekeepers who clean the rooms do not have the time or ability to actually clean any of it. The sheets and towels seem fine, but the carpets in the rooms and hallways are dusty. The overhead lights in the elevator are full of bugs and grime, and the hallways are filled with old furniture dating back to the mid-80s redo. It's common to have to duck around the huge garbage bags the maids leave in the hall. And to top it off, the bar and lounge in the hotel is just plain nasty -- it's filled with dirtbag townie drunks, is staffed by barkeeps best suited for a beer garden, and it offers a huge, communal bowl of Chex-Mix to patrons that is likely a vector for all the disease in the northern hemisphere. So, to the current owners, here's my advice: Hire more housekeepers, throw out anything you're not using anymore, send the townies and your barkeeps to the L&M Bar, and for god's sake, renovate the fourth floor. Dallas should have done it 30 years ago. And as for the the ever-filthy and worn boardwalk, I have three words: Concrete and pressure washer.

Paper thin walls, rowdy guests
By ,
When we weren't being awakened by the hourly train whistles and the clanging water pipes, a crowd of drunken 20-somethings from a wedding reception partying in the hallways after 1:30am kept us alert. Morning desk clerk found this somewhat amusing, said they were moved to a banquet room, but no mention of a discount for us. Will opt for a quieter night at a B&B in town next visit.

Escapism at it's finest
By ,
I love the atmosphere in this quaint old hotel - bed and breakfast. I wouldn't want to stay in the smaller rooms, but the rooms with the jacuzzi and the view are awesome, and the little bar downstairs dripped with 'a getaway from all your troubles' attitude. I would recommend it to any true romantic....and hey, don't spend your time watching TV!

Best Hotel in Northfield
By ,
For time immemorial, the Archer House has been a pillar of the Northfield community having served not only tens of thousands of guests over the years, it has also served as one of this town�s most prominent icons. Situated perfectly in downtown Northfield, it is a two minute walk away from Carleton College and their rooms offer a gorgeous view of the Cannon River. The interiors are sometimes elegant and sometimes impressive as every room in the establishments boasts of a unique decoration and design. Additionally, the staff was extremely courteous and made me feel at home and, most importantly, a part of their home. Overall, the Archer House is a picturesque hotel which offers exceptional value and an extraordinary experience.
