Archer House, Northfield

Very nice heritage hotel. The rooms are nice and is a good size but basic. Breakfast was very average and minimal maybe because there were not many people staying.The plus is downtown and can walk around and close to the college.

Fun getaway. Hotel is old and historic. Very beautiful area. Lots nearby to take in. We will be back.

Atmospheric building, clean and mostly comfortable except for the pillows, which are foam rocks. Great location--walk to campus, just go downstairs and a couple of doors over to Little Joy Cafe for terrific coffee and pastries.

If you want new, go somewhere else. If you want comfortable with character and easy access to town and campus, you can't beat Archer House. It's our preferred place to stay when visiting our son.

Staff was excellent and very helpful. The beds and linens were comfortable and bathroom looked newly remodeled. And the room was quiet. The building overall (lobby and hallways) are worn and could use renovation. But it is a good value for the money. The hotel does not have a restaurant but there is an excellent Indian restaurant next door and wonderful bakery two blocks away.

The Archer House is an old hotel with plenty of character conveniently located right in the heart of downtown Northfield. The room was recently renovated, so no complaints there, and service was quite friendly. The hallways and other common areas are badly in need of updating as well, and once that is completed, the hotel will be really excellent.

A quaint and charming hotel in an adorable downtown, with plenty to walk to and see. The rooms may not be large enough to host a party, but they are a nice size and pleasantly updated. The bathrooms, bed linens, and in room heating are great, and staff were very welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay!

My husband and I were in Northfield for the St Olaf Christmas Festival. We had booked a room weeks ago and it was described as “cozy.” We knew that meant small but we enjoy the atmosphere of the Archer House and for one night we knew we would be fine. The night before we were to arrive, I received an email saying that we had been upgraded to a large room! A delightful surprise! Also, I lost a favorite ear ring some time during our stay and didn’t discover it was missing until we were many miles away. I called the hotel and they promised they would look for it. A few hours later they called to say it was not there but that they would keep an eye out for it. Today, 3 days after leaving the hotel, I received another call saying that the housekeeping staff went thoroughly thru the room and sadly once again, my earring was not found. Even though my earring remains lost, I very much appreciated the extra effort of the staff to look for it. I know it was an especially busy weekend for the hotel. They went above and beyond on my behalf and it was much appreciated.

We were in town for a college visit. We arrived at night. I must say the hotel just was so lovely. Historic hotels are amazing and quirky. The Archer did not disappoint. Our room had an enormous amount of space for just two of us. And the shower was perfect. Nice coffee shop right next door. If my daughter attends the local college, we will be back for sure.

For the age of the building the rooms were very comfortable, clean, bathrooms had been updated. Walk right out of the hotel and your in the downtown.
