Everything about the Archer was wonderful except for the room layout. The room was a double queen bed but adjoining another locked hotel room. The room was cornered in such a way that we had no sunlight window. It was facing the balcony of the room next door with only a small corner window. I had to request a room change. Other than that all was good. I just think the first room they put us in was not ideal especially at the rates charged.

This was the third year we stayed at the Archer (formerly The Lorien). The new owners don't seem as focused on customer service. We stay here because they have large rooms with sitting areas. Beyond that, we'd choose someplace else. The fire pit is great for enjoying a glass of wine, but dirty glasses sat around for hours, and the lemon water was empty every time we went to grab a glass of cold water.
