For the price, there should be more amenities. An additional $25/day per person for breakfast and $40/day parking is ridiculous. And no kitchen in the suite…

Great smaller hotel that is a balance of modern and traditional. Trolley stop right in front and tons of restaurants. Feels more local and less touristy than buzzy waterfront. Though super easy to get to waterfront for dinner. Staff friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

A great place to stay when visiting the DC area

After reading some disappointing reviews about the big-name hotels in Old Town (no air conditioning? no thank you!) I chose the Archer Hotel for our recent trip to the DC area, and I’m so glad I did! Our entire stay was excellent. While there were a few minor issues—like a handful of fruit flies in our room the first night and an old face cloth left on top of the shower—these didn’t detract from the overall experience and definitely won’t keep me from returning next time we’re in town. I would have appreciated daily housekeeping during our two-night stay, but I didn’t ask if that was offered. The outdoor seating area at the front of the hotel was a perfect spot to unwind with a drink after a long, hot day exploring DC. Another big plus was the availability of street parking, which saved us a lot compared to typical hotel rates. Since we arrived on a Saturday morning, we only had to pay the meter for one hour, and then again Monday morning before checkout. On top of all that, the staff were incredibly friendly, the complimentary morning coffee in the lobby and even the Advil kindly provided by the front desk were thoughtful touches, and the air conditioning in the room was absolutely fantastic. I would absolutely recommend the Archer Hotel to anyone visiting the area!
